Because I asked him what model he was using so I could know how many Watts it has but he figured it out faster than it took me to research it since apparently home depot doesnt want spanish people in their website not even a VPN worked.

Do you think it would be a better idea to use a single 400watt high pressure sodium light bulb instead of my LED? I can get a bulb for $15.

Much better yes, but you will need to connect it to a ballast and those are a bit more expensive than the bulb. For flower your LED light wont do or max a top bud. With 400W HPS you can grow both plants if you want. I have not used HPS for a very long time but I dont have anything against them besides the heat in summer, maybe someone who still uses them can guide you better.

I'll probably just go with what I have and see what I get out of it. If I run into some extra cash then I will definitely be upgrading

You can’t really get it too big because you don’t want the stretch to come and all of a sudden you have two to three times the plant to keep alive.

Oh okay , yeah that makes a lot of sense . I hope that I can find a better light. I wanna try to get some decent buds. The bud the seeds came from has 38%THC

With this being low wattage, should I move the light closer to the plant then ?

There are some good panels that are on Amazon you can pick up cheap that will definitely get you through your grow. I've picked them up for as low as $40-$50 dollars around this time of year.

They're going to need to be closer than your average light but not right on top of them.
