Need help on my light and i got some questions.

[Christhenoobie]

Hello
So i think my plants might be out growing my light soon and i would like to know if i can get another one of these 15W white LED light ( its a normal house LED light ) and has anyone used them before? do they work? ( i did have the light further away when they started to sprout and saw them stretching so moved it about 2 inch away from the top leaves now)
I have seen these other small LED grow lights online but i dont know if its necessary to get one of those for my two little plants or just another one of the 15W bulb im using?or what do you think?
If i should order a stronger light then which one do you recommend keeping in mind its my first grow and keeping it pretty small and basic.
Has anyone got a grow light from WISH.COM? i see the ratings and comments are promising but there is still alot of hate for that site...

No where near enough light.

Hi CTN -- First things first: the https://www.growweedeasy.com website has the best overall collection of growing info on the web, so I strongly recommend reading everything there that you find relevant: This article about lights would be a great starter: https://www.growweedeasy.com/cannabis-grow-lights and https://www.growweedeasy.com/led-grow-lights/.

Next, figure on using eight to ten household LED light bulbs minimum per plant once they get big enough so you can fit that many around the plant (and you keep them just inches away).
Next: Your seedlings already look spindly, which is a sure sign that they already need more light, so better double what you're giving them already.
I have grown with lots of LED light bulbs, and it's definitely do-able, but you need lots of bulbs and lots of cords and lots of power strips, and pretty soon the cost and hassle makes up for the lower initial outlay, so if you want to go with LED lights, this one (recommended here at GWE) would be a good choice: https://www.amazon.com/VIPARSPECTRA-...b3c56fe39712cf

You can also use a small HPS or MH bulb for a small grow.
One more note: Cannabis will grow just fine without a lot of light, but to get potent buds with lots of resin, you need a lot of light, so buy a good light, buy good soil, buy good fertilizer (FloraSeries 3-bottle is good plus a bottle of CALiMAGic), and read everything you can find, especially here at the GWE site, and you'll do fine. Good luck and have fun!

Yes 1 450 viperspectrum can give you 4 to 5 ounces in a grow. 2 can triple that. And they can be found at times for under $130

Alright thanks yea i have read those articles but was unsure about the single LED bulbs as they mostly referred to the bigger LED lights but i will get a few more of these bulbs then for now and save up a bit for something like that https://www.amazon.com/VIPARSPECTRA-...b3c56fe39712cf as i live in South Africa it works out a bit pricey for me but I will defiantly get a stronger light in the weeks to come... Thank you for the help!
