You can not grow with any light.. A UV light will certainly not give your plants the light they need.. 15W is under powered for sure.. A nice all around number is about 100 watts a plant.. But that's only a base or outline.. generally speaking I run about 200-250 watts of led per plant. I'm not gonna tell you what diode to use or what drivers.. Because they are numerous ones that perform in the 2.0-2.9 range.. There is a ton of more information that I could pass along. But I will tell you I have tested all sorts of lights with my fancy high value meter and you absolutely don't have to spend thousands.. But you do have to spend some money to get "worth while" performance.

You can use any light. The plant will grow Doesn't mean you should, that there is a 15w light so id say no where near enough light, maybe a few of those together?

I Made a Big Mistake I forgot the timer open and the plant has been lighting for 2 days now. Normally I have to turn the lights off at 6 pm. What should I do? Should I wait until 6pm? Or should I turn it off and switch to a new light schedule? Photoperiod - 5th Week of Flowering Phase

Started the plants off with 60 watts. Increased to 100 watts today with a 20/5 schedule. Could I increase to the full 150 watts already or should I give them a few days with 100? Thanks in advance for any advice. It’s my first indoor grow with this setup and I’m still learning :)

New update got my new grow light dialed in.. And the nutes helped a lot seen more growth in one day than I had in the last 23 days! I am worried that if I place the light at the recommended height (6”) that would be too much so I’m running the lights at 50% power and at 12” away

Change lights off time?I'm having trouble with temperature control. My nights get too cold. My current lights off time is 12am-6am. Is it possible to change it? I really want my lights off to be from 9am-3pm. I think that would help me a lot. How do I change it? Let my lights run for 27 hours?

How to tell if light is damaging plant?I'm using a Mars Hydro Ts600. Manufacturers advice is to keep height at 12'' minimum above the canopy in flower but other growers report it can hang as low as 10''. In identifying optimum height how would I be able to tell if it was too low for my plants? What should Iook for?
