So how are you going to get 270W of all those different lights in your grow space?

DubthaWs If that's the best at Walmart then you shouldn't buy grow lights from Walmart. First, the efficiency of those lights is about 2/3 of good grow lights. There's no magic there. And the label says that the par value is only 20. I don't understand how you get 600 umol/sec... I just bought two 130 watt grow lights from Amazon for $25 USD each. The best thing you can get at Walmart is a cash/debit card so you can buy online.

Let him see he'll not get anything from the grow but he needs to learn so let him go. He's not serious about this grow, he's just practicing those lights he has are for seedlings ONLY he'll see. Don't waste anymore time on giving light advice cause it's gonna go down shortly.

Take it back, get your money back and go buy a real LED.

I hope you didn't buy those lights already! They're still nowhere near powerful enough to grow under.. they might be ok to grow seedlings under, but once they're a bunch of nodes high they're gonna get light starved, and flowering will be VERY disappointing!

If this is a practice grow it seems a bit pointless, your only gonna get experience at raising seedlings, later veg and flowering will be frought with problems you simply can't remedy without better light.

Perhaps if you could tell us what your budget is for lighting, and how you want to shop (is online an option, or just from stores?) then people could point you in a good direction.
