Everyone here makes a good point. You want to grow good weed right? Well not with that thing. You need a light that can push sufficient PPFD. You need at light that pushes 900 PPFD minimum if you want to have some good smoke. Please don’t buy that shit light. Look at Mars Hydro or Spyder Farmer lights. They have great budget friendly options. Honestly the light is the most important part of your grow when growing indoors. Your plants are relying on you to replicate the sun’s rays. It doesn’t matter what nutrients or genetics your have if you’ve got no proper lighting. If you can’t give the plant what it needs she won’t give you what you need. Honestly if you spend less than a hundred bucks on a light it’s not going to cut it and you might as well take your money and go buy some weed with that money instead.

I wouldn't buy that to grow weed with. As Papa_T said; please don't buy that shit light. Even if Mars Hydro or Spyder Farmer are "out of the budget", Kingbrite (on Alibaba) has even better budget options that are well reviewed and quite reliable. (They will spoof the "item value" on the import sheet upon request so you pay less customs/import tax) You can contact their service rep if you wish as well. Light is the first limiting factor of a plant's growth, and is something you absolutely cannot sacrifice quality in due to budget reasons. If your light is not sufficient the plants will stretch in seedling stage and likely become stunted eventually.

Hey my friend with these style of lights u will use your feed etc along with a great amount of your time and in all honesty the yield you would likely have from the amount of power these lights give off would be so low, I would suggest getting daylight bulbs and concentrate on the plant not producing popcorn nugs ....if u can buy this style of light with a stronger output of wattage the problem u will face is the plant will be pulled towards the light, so in this set up very little upwards but lots of pull from the sides not great if ur going for a taller growing plant (indica) good vibes and happy growing 👊🍃

Those work great for basil, parsley, or other small plants. I would not recommend them for growing marijuana. You will likely get around a quarter ounce per plant or less.

With cheap lighting comes cheap product. Best to stick with HID if you can't afford the good LED lights. Cheers
