Will my lighting work?

[FourTwoZero420]

i feel like im in the same position you are.
i live in an apartment, i only have a couple people in real life that i talk to about my grow, and the couple i do have no clie about growing so i feel like an idiot talking to them. and i also started out with a 300 w full spectrum led. get good lights. i only have a couple lights but the ones i have all run quiet, relatively cool and serve the purpose they are used for very well.
also start out doing a small space very good instead of starting huge then going half ass on everythjng because you didnt realize how much it would cost to setup that space. (not saying you in general just saying the few grows i have seen in person people started with huge areas i.e entire second floor of house and then ended up with 7 chinese shit blurples expecting to yield 20 lbs)

This is my clone set up lmfao than i have a 2'x2'x4' tent that came as a kit with light fan and carbon filter its just the 300w led light is being used in my tent with my cindy 99 thats in flower so i can only use that light during light cycle and its way too much of a pain in the ass to move the light when shes in her dark cycle so im just trying to find a good cheap light i dont have to order so my blueberry can have her own light setup ya know the light you see in the pic with my clone is 4 led "bulbs" but they arent really bulbs maybe i am just worried the 4 led bulbs isnt enough but maybe it is?

im assuming 300 watts is an equivalent in this situation but...
id move that 300 watt full spectrum and use as your clone light and get a good light for your actual grow is what i meant.
my guess is the light you have only pulls around 120 out the wall and is great for vegging but wont be what you expect for flowering, which is what happened with me. i could be wrong, but just a thought

I get what you mean yeah wow idk how I overlooked doing that lmfao i will probably just invest in a 600w led than put that in my tent and use 300w for whenever i need it

Look at the specs for your light, and check what it draws from the wall. You need a minimum of 30W / sq ft for flowering. More is better. I have a King X6 Dimmable 1800W COB LED Grow Light in my 2' x4' tent. It draws 300W from the wall, but only 265W makes it to the COBs as the divers are only 85% efficient. I could use more light, so I'm building my own.

I would use an efficiency of 80% for the drivers of any LED you buy, to be on the safe side.

You will really need to watch your height in that tent. I suggest a SCRoG.

Would a AGLEX 600W COB LED be a good investment? Or is that brand lower quality

 

[Hdinkleman]

lower, its hard to find a light. whats your budget? the mars hydro advertising on this site gives out coupons if youre going to go that route.
i know im partial but id get an hlg qb for reccomend
there are good box style leds like the one youre looking at but anything that claims equivalent wattage instead of actual is usually the first sign of a cheap light

That's under powered, delivering about 86W or 21.5 W / sq ft. I'm in Canada, where they don't deliver, so I can't see the price on Amazon. I see them for $116 USD + shipping on eBay.

They can be that close together through veg and flower?

Is it a good idea to train clones or do you not need the train clones

 

[Old Salt]

Yes. That was my first grow. I harvested more than 5 oz from it. Later grows with the same number of plants reached 8 oz. I used NugBucket's Mainline/Manifold method.

Mainlining is what I'm trying to do but it's a little hard understanding exactly how to do it go looking it up and watching videos aside from having somebody actually being able to show me to do it cuz everybody's playing and everything is different you know so it's like hard to completely understand I don't know if you can see but in the picture that I posted of my clone I have it bent over to the side to where all the branches and leaves are all going up so if I look at the bottom side of the plant it's all flat there's no leaves and everything but I don't know if I'm doing it right

With the size of tent you have, you must train your plants, even if it's only pruning away branches, and supporting the remaining ones. The net you see in my grow was to guide the branches for training in veg, and supplying support for the lower part of the branches in flower. There are thirty two colas in that tent. Here they are just before harvest:

The Pearl on the west is in flour I only have the Clone in there with it when the light cycle is on getting better lighting but during the dark cycle I have to take the Clone out and use different lighting so since the symbol or 99th already in flour can I still use screen of green or no since I'm already flowering

 

[Hdinkleman]

if you are going to do cob, you can get single cob

Mainlining is what I'm trying to do but it's a little hard understanding exactly how to do it go looking it up and watching videos aside from having somebody actually being able to show me to do it cuz everybody's playing and everything is different you know so it's like hard to completely understand I don't know if you can see but in the picture that I posted of my clone I have it bent over to the side to where all the branches and leaves are all going up so if I look at the bottom side of the plant it's all flat there's no leaves and everything but I don't know if I'm doing it right

i was where you were at 8 months ago.
mainlining, i wouldnt do it lol.
also mainlinig doesnt work as good anyways because clones have alternating nodes.
trust me its faster and you will get bigger plants faster by just topping and LST
