Can one of you please tell me which grow lamp of which is better, I don't have much money at my disposal but would like to work with light. One has uv wavelength and the other does not need uv wavelength?

I advise against using such devices! They often have poor drivers installed, and all the LEDs are connected in series, which frequently causes half of the lamp to fail, and you end up having to repair it constantly. Save up $150 and check out the lamps from the manufacturer marshydro, 😇👌
I don't recommend skimping on lighting, bro... it's not about the brand name, but about whether you'll have lighting issues or not 😇👆
Good luck! 😇✊

UVb is really only a thing in the last week or two and even then, it's not really important. I recommend getting a white light quantum board, however, and staying away from the blurples. Mars Hydro makes reliable, cost effective ones. Their TSW 1000 runs just over $100.

Wich of those cheap lights would be advised under 200€ and that would fit both final vegging state and flowering?
The grow space is 80cmx80cmx160cm and keeping in mind that the weather along with the lack of ventilation budget limits my options to colder leds.
Thanks in advanceWeek 1

Changing Lighting ScheduleThe days on the plants are since planting, so i was going to keep the vegetative light schedule until 5 weeks since planting, then start moving towards a 12/12.
Is it even optimal for an autoflower to have a traditional 12/12 lighting schedule during flowering?

How to manage a tall plant with a thick stem in week 1 of flowering?One plant I ordered online was pre-grown. Now, it’s about 20 cm taller than my other plants. At the top, the taller plant gets more than 1000 PPFD, while the lower canopy gets about 500 PPFD. It’s currently week 1 of flowering. The stem is too thick to bend down.What would youdo?
