Hey! I desperately need some info on lighting! Anyone?

[CanadianBacon92]

Ok so my seeds just came in (pineapple chunk)

I only want to grow one plant this summer (outdoors) but I want to start it off inside. I recently purchased x2 Philips 16w LED full spectrum grow lights ( par38 bulbs) would this be enough sufficient lights to keep it growing/veg so that when it comes spring I can transplant it outside??
Any advice would be so helpful

I think you will be fine. Where do you live in Canada

it will be enough to start, probably not enough to get a nice robust plant going

Personally I'd want more watts per plant. A single LED quantum board would be good to get it started and strong for transplant outdoors.... or possibly even enough to continue the entire cycle inside for just one plant. How much are you looking to spend?

Woah, sorry for the late reply, I didn’t end up
Going out a few days ago and picking up a 45w LED grow light board (root farm) , not sure how good it is.

Sounds good, any pics of the light? Also, have you started the seeds yet and when do you estimate you will be able to plant outdoors?

I have that light for starting seeds. It's ok.

I picked up the light it works well to start

They are good for the first 3 weeks of the cycle, I would reccomend putting your plant into the regular daylight in the window to keep it more adjusted for transplanting into the ground at another time. I live in west toronto so it wont be warm enough to transplant outside for a few more weeks still

Well it’s too cold rite now, the three that are sprouted are white widow autos but I don’t know how they will end up in those square pots; anyways, the pineapple chunk is just a feminized so I want to start it off inside and then transplant it into that pot, not sure if that’s enough room for it, and that’s the fan I use. My medium is pro-mix premium potting mix p.s I just picked up that spray bottle it holds 1L or 2.2 Pints.

Ahhhh yessss!!! Buddy! Eh!
glad to see there are others out there that have Lights, how far away would you recommend the light? And I usually do keep it in the window sill, just cloudy today lol

I just use it as a starter light under my sink in my small ass apartment, then I bring it out to my main tent in kw. Only 2 servived, 1 didnt germ, 1 hermied

Auto flowers should be planted into their final pot to start. As for height it just raised it as much as possible and let the flower do the rest, the heat and intensity really wasnt much to worry about with early.

 

[CanadianBacon92]

Damn! You got the whole set up, mines on my dresser . But if those autos don’t survive then I’m not to worried, they were meh seeds, the pineapple chunk is from Barney’s farm, so I just want to keep it inside till it’s warm enough, crappy Toronto weather lol.

 

[BooMtoLate]

I'm about an hour north of Toronto, and yes the weather sucks here too lol. I usually wait til June 1 to put plants outside.

Lol that one day last week were it was 21 lmao, had those autos outside that day, then boom shit weather, at least the summers are golden for growing, im a bit sceptical with this pineapple chunk tho, says it takes 3 months, Harvest is in early September, my question is will it still flower in later August? Or just stay in veg till the days shorten??

 

[Hrenklin]

Auto flowers will flower in 3 months ish

 

[BooMtoLate]

I was outside all day on that really hot day and got a sunburn on my arms lol.

 

[BooMtoLate]

It will veg until the days shorten, I usually pull my plants end of September or early October

I spent the day watching morons get tickets in the park across the street. People think parking in a no parking zone is legal because the parking lot is closed.

Under that light in those little pots!?? My first time growing really
