The weather looks really bad so i guess i need to take her inside a lot. I place her inside a barn in front of the glass door but she still hasnt there much light there. I ordered a 40 Watt full spectrum LED to add on the sunlight. Just read "used power 10 W" Will that be enough

Hey! When it comes to LED lights.. it's recommened 50-75W per 30cm2 To answer your question yes, if it's output is that of a 40W LED and with the additional sunlight from the window you have enough to finish bloom. But that doesn't mean you'll get the outcome you're probably waiting for.. I understand you have some sunlight but by the looks of it your in the nederlands and in this season it's mostly cloudy, so i don't know exactly how much sun she will receive. If you were only to depend on the LED light most days, you would need another 15-25w to have a decent yield. Not ending up with fluffly buds, risking budrot or any other problems that could occur from not having enough light source. Remember light is energy to process food and grow so if they don't have enough they won't be healthy and won't have dense, rich flavory buds. Try this light but i suggest you add maybe an extra led or some CFLs on the side. Hope this helped. Good luck and happy growing!

Hey, a good resource to use to determine if you are getting enough light on a cloudy day. http://clearskycalculator.com/quantumsensor.htm enter you coordinates and info, this will tell you what the light intensity and umol will be on a clear sky. Multiply that result by the % of cloud cover you have, and you'll get a pretty good idea how much light your plants are getting outdoors.
