The wattage rating is not printed on this case. These drivers usually specify wattage either as part of the output specs (e.g. DC 36–95V, 600mA = about 60W), but your label only shows the voltage range, not the current. Without the current, we can’t calculate exact watts from the info printed.
Look for an amp rating (A or mA) somewhere on the casing or the other side of the driver.
  • If it’s, for example, 600mA, then:
    • At 36V, it would drive ~22W (0.6A × 36V).
    • At 95V, it would drive ~57W (0.6A × 95V).
  • That would mean it’s rated as a ~60W driver.

If you can flip it over or check the fine print, it may list more.


Do you want to show me the other side of the driver (or the LED panel it came with) so I can calculate the wattage for sure?
 
I found this on the back of the lights
When buying a light, look for models with drivers that are not attached to the light. That's so the driver can be located outside the tent. The reason is they tend to get hot and make the tent hot. It's best if they don't.
 
I just want to say I'm sorry for your loss. No parent should ever have to endure outliving their child. Bless you for finishing his grow in his absence. If and when I pass, I would want the comfort of knowing my pets and my plants will be looked after.
 
How many grows under your belt or is this the #1? If so don't get overwhelmed when info gets really specific. File it for later if it's frustrating.
I'm making my learning mistakes and real pros sometimes need advice with a method or a puzzle. Tiger Woods has a coach.
Think about separating the two in one pot.
Personally I had pots like that and just switched to fabric but I can't tell you anything yet.
This forum turned me from a hasbeen grow-slave to "not horribly bad"
First one I took over my sons plants it would have been both of us first time

Thanks appreciate it

If I lived in ur state I would tell u that I got u I love pets and plants lol
 
It's called research
I agree! I don’t think his lights are all that! They were being grown in a closet before he got them! I guess we will find out if he has enough juice for a decent flower! Hang in there! And do you have any idea when he started them? Do you think they are over six weeks old? I don’t think we even know whether they are auto or photo! That does make a difference! Do you know anything about the strain? Anything in his notes?✌️

And don’t get all uptight about it! Just relax and play with it! It doesn’t matter whether it is successful or not! He is proud of his old man for trying!😍🍻
 
I think I saw where you said it was a clone! Could be wrong! But if it was a clone, it’s photo! Or should be!

use Ohms Law to find amps resistance and potential voltage or start over with known light. either way the two in one pot has to change.. at that point you can decide on a better medium.
my two cents
 
I really don’t care if I don’t get a yield from it I’m not looking to sell all I want is to finish his dream of growing
yes it would be wise to finish the process, along the way you will see why.

if it was an auto its growth/timeline will have been stopped/slowed. If strain is important look thru personal effects, might get lucky otherwise roll with the strain and learn to grow... it is very rewarding.
 
The plant looks like it wants more light and it's still in vegetation. If it's not enough now, it certainly won't be enough during flowering.
for the clones and veg the ion beam from AC INF will work fine/ for 1 plant out in the open-air fan etc. ... if comfy for you then comfy for plants = explosive growth using craft blend BAS, you have to consider dark periods (lights off) if indoors and tent for efficiency and flower (fear of HERM is real) consider covering at night (dark periods) with air exchange
Flower: @LoveGrowingIt is spot on with the light issue. I'm sure you can find one or make. if decision NOT to split, then the two will eventually root bound, most likely when you don't want it too. when in flower stretch roots also grow. if decision TO split consider stressing out the plant and feeder roots growing back vs taking clones should it not make it back to health. Once healthy flip to flower.

Before doing anything, all plants need to be healthy. Next, you took a pic of the placard on the light set, can you take pic of the front side...?

next the size of the tent to match the size of the light. too many plants in a big tent and not enough light coverage, might work for one plant provided ppfd is correct...

otherwise, the two in the pot flip to flower ASAP the more it grows the more the possibility of failure.

for the transplant, the plant needs to be healthy as well. until a better source of light is obtained, what is the ppfd and light distance to the plant using the light you have on hand...? is a meter available to take that measurement? I think it was 300-600 for veg.

LED / Grow light: Pics of the front
Number of plants & gal size of pots:
Size of tent:
List all on-hand inputs/biology:
Provide PPFD measurement:
 
if you are not concerned about the yield, consider:
- why growers grow
- what are the 2nd and 3rd order effects of decisions made during a grow
- once plants are healthy what's the next step

if I was in this position failure would not be an option and I wouldn't be after a large yield either. All plants yield something. I guess in this case I would want to see a small yielding plant with a monster potato on the main stem.
That is a success by any metric.
 
I think I saw where you said it was a clone! Could be wrong! But if it was a clone, it’s photo! Or should be!
yea its photo, look how he bonsaied at each node , directly across from each other. clone would have been branched everywhere, suspect 3-4 months on age
