Yeah I don't know what's in your area but like a 240 w from wall light full spectrum is good for your size. I prefer cob style lights with the lens. Happy Growing! 👊

Said it was unavailable. I'm only running 1x1 tent 2m tall. Not overly worried about cost but I'd prefer not to spend more than $600

It's not to expensive and depending on your size would work to flower 2-3 plants easy. I picked up two cause i'm doing 6 in a 4x4 tent.. but yeah check it out it's def a budget light in terms of what's out there.. but it seems to be working for me. Hope this helps! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RM2G658/ref=twister_B07SNDQQ9T?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 Happy Growing! 👊

what is correct light schedule for indoor germination and seedling, and then transplant outdoors?I plan to grow a photoperiod plant outdoors from spring to fall, but the germination and seedling stages will be done indoors. For the indoor part, can I use a setup with 18 hour light schedule? Or should it be 12 hours? I don't want to trigger flowering when I put it outside.

Light intensity? Should I dim?I'm having a light-science question. I have 5 bulbs, 11w each, total 55w. I know this is not much but anyway. Should I dim the lights for seedlings even If I have this low setup? I mean, does light intensity affects seedlings' health? Or 55w can work on a maximum level?

Growlampe Hello everyone, I've been looking for a good grow light that can handle multiple plants without any issues. I've heard a lot of good things about the Mars Hydro TS600. Is the light better for single plants, or can you also grow multiple?
