grow light suggestion for a single cannabis plant

[LoveGrowingIt]

The space is not such a big problem, It was more the problem of hanging the panel.

A small, 2x2 tent would solve the problem of hanging the light and solve a few other problems.

I'm wondering about light leakage. Photoperiodic cannabis needs uninterrupted darkness during its night, so the terrarium light would need to be off during the plant's night. Also, would the very bright light from the plant light affect the terrarium inhabitants?

If there's not enough room for a 2x2 tent, then there probably isn't enough room for a productive plant. A tent provides a way to hang the light. It also keeps the room dark when you want it dark. There's also the matter of temperature and humidity. Cannabis has specific needs for both.

I have two ViparSpectra XS1500 Pro lights in a 2x4 tent. I'm currently vegging three plants for my second grow with the lights.

mostly seconding what's LoveGrowingIt just said a tent would help a lot.

also your terrarium light(s) are probably too far from the plant to bring any really intense enough light regarding yield while being intense enough to disturb a photoperidic plant night time, not an issue if your growing some automatic unlike photoperiods they don't need perfect darkness at night to trigger flowering.

I don´t have a space for a tent and since I live in a rented apartment where weed is illegal and treated as a hard drug (sweden), I cannot have something as conspicious in my appartment. The plan is to move the plant in my walk in closet if the owner ever shows up.
And I was looking for a way to do this for my occasional personal use and was hoping there was a way to do it in a more simple way than having this whole setup and complicated proceedure. I am aware it might not work or result in a small yield, but I think it is worth a try. Especially since I have grown a successful plant in the past in the most ingorant way, with zero knowledge and it worked . But that was in another country with much more sunlight.
The grow lights in reptile tanks are off during the night and I can set schedules for the intensity and time. The lights are quite bright, but since they are coming from the side and mostly trough the glass, I am aware that this alone is not enough. I was just hoping that supplementing this with another less intense grow light might be good enough... If I bought a very bright led light panel it might be disruptive to the reptiles, but also myself, since this is my bedroom.
As regards the temperature and humidity I think I am keeping it within the recomended window for my seeds (gorilla cookies auto), although I know it is not ideal.
But I appreciate your input for managing my expectations.

A lot of typing and work done for pending failure. What you going to do about odor control? This will be a disaster. Look into a small micro grow in a computer case or a box. 50w cob light. Computer fans for ventilation and carbon mat filters. And don't grow a auto. Grow a photo. Lots of info out there on clandestine box micro grows.

it's hard to control the smell without a tent/small box, negative pressure and a carbon filter especially in an appartement in an illegal place with some close neighboor ...

if you have a walk in closet couldnt you grow one/two plants in there ? ive got a ts600 light hanging off a clothes rail , and as an experiment i am just feeding it houseplant food , its the healthiest looking plant ive ever grown. i didnt top it but pulled the top shoots to the side.

I do have an auto. This is the setup. The light are turned off at night.

That´s a fair point
