Is My LED Strong Enough To Grow And Bud 2 Plants?

Hey guys, I'm currently growing 2 plants under a 600w LED... I think it's actually closer to 100w. I'm getting about 20k lux from 10inches away... Do I need another more powerful light for flowering? Help please it's my first grow XD

You can flower with that but don't expect huge buds.. I'm running two 1200 w but really 240. And I'm wishing I had just got one like 600 real watt one. Watts from wall usually = bigger yield with bigger wattage. But you don't want to go to big for your growing area. That will really determine how big you can go. Happy Growing! 👊

Can bud with a 60w house light but won't get any yield. I'm a HID guy, just started with using LED in my grows so don't have a lot of experience with them yet. Noticed that a 1000w is about equal to a 150W HID grow power. Answer your question yes it will work for 2 but would push any more. Don't expect a high yield.

Figure out the largest footprint that light can provide. Make sure the plant is about half that area before it goes to bloom and you should be okay. it's never about how many plants you grow. that's incomplete information. how large will they be? Well, that should be dependent on the space you have and the footprint of your light, then work backward from there. 20k lux means different things with different lights... it will tell you intensity of light in a proportional way, so you can use it for a good function. If you see any stress at 20k, you can start a tad further away or dim it next time. further away increases footprint but reduces intensity in any 1 spot of that larger footprint (same number of photons, spread out) - a happy medium is usually found.
