New light

[Datinocker]

Hello everybody I am really new to this I just purchased this light for my 2‘ x 4‘ x 5‘ high grow closet do you guys think this will be sufficient ?

Never heard of that light, but it don't take much to grow a small plant or two, in a closet.
I'm pretty sure it will do ok.
GoodLuck with it,

30% of the reviewers say the light sucks. Of course there are not a whole lot of reviews. https://www.amazon.com/product-revi...ll_reviews&filterByStar=one_star&pageNumber=1 I always check the reviews before a purchase on Amazon. Apparently this light is new, and a high risk.

I plan on backing that up with some CFL scattered around the box but thank you for any input

better money would have been spent on a quantum board imo. At the end of the day if you keep growing your best off biting the bullet and getting a good light right off the bat. Then you can fine tune the other less expensive aspects of your grow. trust me i've bought Meinzl 300w, 450w, 600w, autocobs, HLG480 and now I have an Optic Slim600h. The QB light was fine but gave to my buddy.

your light is only 110w

i believe 40-50w per square foot is the range you should be looking for.

My 315W LEC light is about perfect for my same-sized tent. I'd hold off on the CFLs

Thank you for all the information on the lights but here’s another question I was thinking of starting my seeds in an aero garden for three or four weeks then transplanting into Coco does everybody think this is a good idea or a bad idea ?

 

[Drekthar]

i actually started my second grow in an aerogarden. it works ok but a couple of things to think about:
1. get them out of there before the roots get all intertwined which happens quickly.
2. watch out for the heat in the water as it tends to get a bit warm in there.
3. should add airstones to that.
4. keep in mind aerogarden is a 17-20 watt light
5. not sure what there is to be gained from using an aerogarden,

 

[Datinocker]

Don’t know if my thinking is right or wrong but thought the aero garden would speed start the plants up to 12 inches then switch them over to Coco or so that is my thinking thought it would take longer for the plants to grow to 12 inches in coco!

biggest problem I had was roots we're tangled together. I had 2 aerogardens with 2 plants in each. they will grow quickly in there as they do in hydro under the right conditions.. good luck doesnt hurt to experiment

 

[Datinocker]

Thank you for the advice just waiting on the seeds to come in the mail hopefully they will be here soon and I can start the grow !

Be sure to check out the light thoroughly before the return window closes. Looks like 3 out of the 10 purchasers had problems. Better safe than sorry.
