Big_Buds_Good_89started grow question 3y ago

I'm wanting to get a new light and need some help. My tent is a 3x3. I'm only growing one plant at a time. How many watts do I need? I'm going through a rough patch and only have 0 max to spend.

the dollar sign makes numbes disappear so i can;t see your budget. the FC 3000 is an excellent option. If you are going to grow autoflowers exclusively, you can use about 66% of that wattage, but will it have the same light distribution accross the area? this is relative to high-efficiency lights. Lower efficacy will need more watts.

Need to upgrade grow light I'm looking to buy a stronger light for around 200$ that can adequately cover a 4x5 space for veg/flower. I've been researching for weeks but can't decide. I'm currently running with two TOAD LED Grow Lights 600W, actual watts 85. They are Blurples. Any suggestions?

Light power Is a 100-watt lamp sufficient? I don't consume much, so I opted for a modest light, anticipating lower yields. Can the quality match that of weed grown under a stronger light(600watt), despite producing fewer grams overall?
