I haven’t had both the switches on so far only the veg light has been switched on but for flowing I was planing on leaving them both leaved on maybe I should even do that right awayAnd do you have both switches turned on, or just Veg? They should both be turned on all the time with blurples, unless you're cloning or something.
But still I would still get another light if you can but if not for the mean time forsure I would lower the light to about 16’ away from canopy
Within week you will see a huge stretch in growth compare the last 3 weeksThanks man I’m going to leave both veg and bloom light switched on and I’m going to bring down the light

Are your plants autos? Dont forget that its the overall photons they receive not just intensity. So if they are autos you can improve this by running the light longer.
Ideally you want 18/6 or there abouts if you can but by running for longer periods you can running a lower wattage and still deliver the same amount of photons…
What im saying is if you have autos you can get away with less wattage.
I agree with @N1ghtL1ght 400-450w to many are pushing to hard for thier skill set and environment. That would be for 12/12 to flower well.
NOW HERE IS THE PART PPL MISS… if they are autos and your running 24hrs a day you ONLY NEED half that…. I swear one day soon im gonna do a write up on all these light issues and send it over to @N1ghtL1ght to add to it what i may have missed so i can just link it and save myself some typing.
Sorry to throw you under bus @N1ghtL1ght i just see almost everything you post to line up exactly with my experience, knowledge and opinions.
With all that said there is a benefit to a dark period and ideally we would want one if we have the light source needed
Your welcome Aqua, no need to say sorry if I can be helpfull I will be there. Yes, bigger posts that give a good breakdown of the interrelated factors coupled with experience are a good way to point new growers into the right direction and save some time for the forum's stock helpers and long-time members.NOW HERE IS THE PART PPL MISS… if they are autos and your running 24hrs a day you ONLY NEED half that….

noHey everyone new to the forum but I was wondering if anyone can answer my question where i have a 4x4 tent with reflective material on the inside and a 110watt led light with 4 plants inside. They seem to be doing good as far a the vegetative stage but when they start flowering is that a intense enough light to grow significant buds
Thanks for the advice, I’m 6 weeks into flower I have an updated pic I would like to share with you guysTo be honest the light source should not be the the equipment you skimp out on! I say get what can for what it is... I have a philizon from Amazon rated at 660 watts usage with output at 1200... which I doubt... I have 5 plants myself under this... 4 in 7 gallons and 1 in 15 gallon pot...
The light source is what gives your plant life! Regardless of size the brighter the light the happier the plant!
Hey, I've got the same giixer light from amazon... How did your grow went? you shoud really consider something more powerfull or another giixer light to pair in your grow spaceThanks for the advice, I’m 6 weeks into flower I have an updated pic I would like to share with you guys

Dude is probably my favourite of all time
No it's not probably using 5 gallon pots Has a lot to do with who manufactures the light what type of diodes are used what driver u have a 110w Walmart grow light is significantly different than a HLG 150 I Tink that is there smallest That's why you see the prices very dramatically For sameWatage It is a full spectrum Generally though smaller lights are for vegetatives day only You're gonna want to have one that produces that red light that is what they need during floweringYou can veg with CFL inexpensive inital cost is sodium bulb high energy consumption but in a 4x4 600w sodium is going to give u great yeilds Do you use a higher quality bulb even better like Don't buy the most expensive Which is generally the houorrlux or a HLG 300L Rspec 400 bucks sodium 175 all in from Amazon Sodium generates a lot of heat and especially in the small space Do you want to move a lot of air and possibly have small air conditioning With sodium you however can Do it without AC If you use co2 hopefully I confused you But if it doesn't have the red light Look up a light chart for what you need for cannabis compair what's labeled on the package If you paid less than a 100 bucks you probably don't have a full spectrumHey everyone new to the forum but I was wondering if anyone can answer my question where i have a 4x4 tent with reflective material on the inside and a 110watt led light with 4 plants inside.
