@ Spidermite I love the new signature 👍

Problem solved?
Friend is having a Viperspectra 1000w shipped to me. Special at $109.00. Spidermite suggested a 450. Hope this isn't too much. Lol 😜. Someone said there is no such thing as overkill when it comes to light. Wish me luck.

Thanks

You should be good with that light.

Thanks Spidermite.
It's sure nice to have good BUDS to go with good BUDS. Lol😜. My friend grew a primo outdoor crop so I think he's using me as a test on indoor. Fine w/ me.

Thunderfirst, welcome to confusing marketing.
Growing plants requires photons(just a unit of measurement) of light to grow plants. The confusion starts when we try to estimate how many photons of light a fixture can produce from each watt of electricity consumed. The efficiency of a light source has a huge impact on producing light(photon/watt)-this is where using power density(watts/sq ft) can help you estimate if you have enough intensity to grow good flower. For lower efficiency lights like CFL's, at least 50 w/sq ft. HID fixture(HPS,MH,CMH) 40-50 w/sq ft. Top-tier led's like a QB can hit that same light level at 30 w/sq ft.

Excellent plants you have. You have put a lot of work into them. I also decided this year to start growing marijuana at home. I hope it works. I plan to begin in the fall. However, I need to know more about this since I do not know when the marijuana growing season is.
To begin with, I plan to buy a vape pen Canada and try it out a little. However, before I start growing marijuana at home and smoking it, I need to prepare my body a little.
So I'm ready to take any advice on this.

Alot depends on what strain you want to grow,how many.to what size,how big will your containers be,etc.When your thinking about set up its better to try and think about the whole set up together as some things jusr work better with others.
