Thank you il look at those brands I can spend like 350 or less atm is that a good price range or would a good one for me be more than that? What do u run for lighting? I decided to start with leds cause I figured it was harder to screw upI wouldn't spend anymore on those lights, they will disappoint you. I don't use led currently but if I were trying to grow on a budget I would look into the highest wattage led I could afford. Pick a brand with a decent following and track record like Mars, philozon, or spiderfarmer. They all have decent lights for cheap on the big A or elsewhere.
Ok so how close should the light be throughout the stages the box said a foot and a half but that seemed way to far I have these young autoflower seedlings I just started with an led from the same company how do u think that looks? I just raised the light about 4 in today cause they were growing horizontalYeah them seem fine. Just keep an eye for any of those male parts :p
As for the light, yes more light. And they are close now, but they should have been closer younger to prevent that aweful stretch, i suggest some sticks to support them, once the buds come in they may try to flop over
How much sq ft should a plant take up ? My closet is 7x2You want 35-50watts per square foot of grow area with LED. 8 plants.... So 3x3ish? You will need about 300watts

Awesome IL just stick with led then that's some good news for today at least it won't be as much as I'd thought so with that being said should I spend a lil more and get a bigger stronger led in case I upgraded to a bigger tent in the future so I could just use the same light or is that a bad idea? I wanna eventually get a 6x6 or an 8 footer but that's as big as I'd ever go soI am using cmh 315 lighting atm. If you switch to those thought, you will need a but of more cooling or heat extraction as they make a bit more heat than good LEDs. Like @Mikelej14 suggested, quantum boards are what I would look for especially with $350 for a budget. You can light that closet and have some cash left over.
Lighting 6x6 or 8x8 is $$$$$ and lots more heat, meaning lots more $ in electricity and ventilation. Im not saying dont do it, if you really want to learn and do it, but for wanting to maintain some level of minimal resources used, LED closet grow is the way to go. Mine is rockin it right now, 5 plants in a 3x2 under the Viparapectra p1500.Awesome IL just stick with led then that's some good news for today at least it won't be as much as I'd thought so with that being said should I spend a lil more and get a bigger stronger led in case I upgraded to a bigger tent in the future so I could just use the same light or is that a bad idea?

The plants only take up as much space as you allow. 1x1' each plant minimum, untrained, but training allows you to spread the canopy as much as you want with photoperiod plants during veg by bending the main branches down allowing the smaller side and lower growths to become exposed to more and equal distance light. Results are more density to yield and more even canopy for best use of light available.How much sq ft should a plant take up ? My closet is 7x2
Is that small led good for clones and seedlings before veg? How far from the top should the light be?
Awesome video wish I would've watched it first lol I'm halfway through and already learned a tonYou should watch this to better understand cannabis lighting.

Awesome that helps a ton so my small brown setup is good? Those are all autos in there the only photos I have are now the 2 females since I ditched the 2males under that 4 foot POS in my closet lolThe plants only take up as much space as you allow. 1x1' each plant minimum, untrained, but training allows you to spread the canopy as much as you want with photoperiod plants during veg by bending the main branches down allowing the smaller side and lower growths to become exposed to more and equal distance light.

Your light will work great in that little space for seedlings, if you notice them stretch more than a few inches between nodes, move light closer, or get them under a stronger light. Maybe 6-12" distance until fan leaves then move them under a higher power light
Should I use just use that one or should I still get a diff one I liked that one you showed me alot I'm tempted hahaMuch much better!! Well done!
Oh wow much better than mine you litterally saved me big time thank you so much for your help il def keep in touch I'd love to burn one with yaTo put things in perspective, heres my 5 plants under 150w-
Your 175 watt will do a hell of a lot better than 32watts. Lol
I'm definitely getting panda plastic for the closet and brown cabinet I went and got a ton of fans and the humidity and temp stays about right there just normally I was only planning to use that cabinet and that small led for clones and seedlings untill they get true leaves then move em under the big light cause those are all auto flowers seeds which I planned on only running for starting out but a buddy gave me some photo seeds so I figured I'd do those first in case I screw up it's not with the autosMuch much better!! Well done!
The light you just got will do a 2x3, maybbbbe 2x4 area flowering, no problem, maybe not the best of yields but DEFINITELY worth-while until you get your setup going. Just about anything is better than those homedepot $60 lights- a 2ft bar putting off 32w? Psh thats 16w/sqf nopppe 4" away itll get a seedling its first leafys but not much else...Should I use just use that one or should I still get a diff one I liked that one you showed me alot I'm tempted haha
