I am now running a 19 watt led and 6Just make sure u dont get light burn idk what kinda led ur running mine I can feel the heat at 6inches away a good way to test is use the under side of ur fore arm if it feels uncomfortable its probably uncomfortable for ur girls
I will update pics in a bit i am now 5 days into using the household ledsHow is that plant doing with the small bud sites
I dont qwant huge plants i want to keep them smaller and i think ill be ok with my new light setup
I am absolutely looking forward to my next grow once i harvest this one i can start a new as we r only aloud to have 4plants per household here in canadaI agree. Not everyone's a bigger-is-better person. It's a lot of fun to grow a plant from seedling to harvest. Keeping them small (less veg time) means you can grow more frequently, that's all. It's a great way to get experience. Instead of waiting 4-5 months for an outdoor plant to ripen, you can harvest a plant that vegged 2-3 weeks in half the time. (If you did grow outdoors, you can plant some autoflowers too. They're perfect (IMO) for growing outdoors. You can get 1-2 harvests while waiting for the photosensitive to ripen in the fall.).
I've always thought a great way to get years of experience in a short period of time would be to start a new autoflower (indoors) every 2 weeks. After about 12 weeks, you'll have 6 plants going -- and harvest one of them. Every two weeks, add a seedling -- harvest the holdest plant. (Rotating a new one for the oldest one). That would be a phenomenal way to experiment with things, apply what you learned "the last grow (two weeks ago), and the grow before that (4 weeks ago), etc." It would require tremendous organizational skills, record keeping, being able to glean what worked better, worse, together, separately, etc. If someone didn't work, sat at home for a year... that could be like 8 years of growing experience in 1 year. That would be wasteful running lights 18/6 for a year, growing smallish autos. But, the motivation would be something other than energy efficiency or size.
So, there's nothing wrong with growing smaller plants, stating new grows sooner. If it's just a hobby, it doesn't have to bigger is better, 63w/sq ft lighting, etc. As long as you're enjoying it, looking forward to the next grow, etc.

I did this with 3 Cree floodlights, took out the reflector and mounted them in a cheap 3 bulb fixture, looks good but haven't tried it through a grow yet. I would have gone with 4 or 5 bulbs but they are too big in diameter and would have hit each other.I just started looking at these recently. Cree makes one.
I really like the idea of these 3 bulb to one socket i may have to pickup a couple of theese for my next set of seedlingsI did this with 3 Cree floodlights, took out the reflector and mounted them in a cheap 3 bulb fixture, looks good but haven't tried it through a grow yet.

OK, everybody has their own tricks & licks for growing...looks good though.I dont qwant huge plants i want to keep them smaller and i think ill be ok with my new light setup
Is it powerful enough for flowering? Some plain floresent bulbs are sufficient for growing in the vegetative state, but it'll grow slower than it would with high watt LED systems or high pressure sodium or metal halide set-ups. If you can use it for both veg. & flower that'd by a nice set-up.I really like the idea of these 3 bulb to one socket i may have to pickup a couple of theese for my next set of seedlings
