Should be 1200w. They got you on the light grobro. That is only a 140w light. And Blurple to boot. It was also a bit hard to find accurate info which is another flag.
Some good lighting parameters;
150-200 watts per plant so you are slightly underpowered to grow 1 plant
$1.00 per actual watt is a good reference for cost to power
35-40w per square foot of grow space

Im growing autos
Okay. Autos don’t care about the light cycle. 24/0 is okay, though most auto growers run their lights 18/6.
Your light is underpowered, so I would go ahead and run it 24/0 to maximize DLI.

At least they say on Amazon that its output is 140w a lot of them dont show true wattage draw. Might want to upgrade the light at some point.
These burple sellers on Amazon are incredibly dishonest. I bought one when I first started growing and quickly realized that it wasn’t going to get the job done. I wrote a scathing review of the light on Amazon. The seller emailed me multiple times offering me money to retract my review.
The reviews of these burple lights are manipulated. I reported this to Amazon and they didn’t respond or do anything to change these sellers behavior. Folks should mass report these scams to Amazon.

I think you should, kind of shady to ask a customer to take down a honest review for 20 dollar refund so they can still get more orders😭
They sent me 3 emails like this. The last offer was $50 and then I didn’t hear from them again.
Yea thats super weird they most likely are trying to scam people. You should sent it to amazon maybe you’ll get your refund and the sellers off the market. Double wammy
I did send it to Amazon.
