Lighting for Indoor Grow

Very happy with the seeds I ordered they all germinated. But, I think my lighting was inadequate so I ordered a new light. I only grow 2 or 3 plants at a time.
I ordered this one thinking I could switch between the light spectrums, blue, red etc. but that is not the case. Can I use the full spectrum for the whole life cycle? I have 3 new seedlings growing and trying my best to get a good grow this time.


K… Maybe not a joke:

Just wanted to ad this isn’t my forever light. It’s all I could afford at the time. It got me growing and I think that’s what counts.

@Dj351 My purples got me through first LED grow as well.

Learned alot, saved… And upgraded… The cost has more than paid for itself. Probably after my first grow with my current setup.

@Growmoredank I don’t see my bloom plus as a waste of money. When I upgrade, I will either use it in a veg room or for clones.

@Dj351 The waste I mainly talk about is electricity, mine ran very hot and we’re very inefficient. The extra fans, running ventilation higher… More waterings…

After upgrade… Cost of electricity. Which I have worked to minimize… Next upgrade is further automation or at least wireless control of all but watering… To further decrease my electric bill.

My last savings was buying the RO buddie… Saving me in water about $110/grow/4 plants with perpetual grows.

@Growmoredank that’s great. I’m still ironing out the problems with my grow setup. I think I have the heat problem solved. I have a small ac unit coming to put in my tent. Hopefully I’ll be able to grow all summer. I couldn’t afford a lot when I got my tent. Had my wife’s blessing but she didn’t like the expense. It gets expensive but I think well worth it. Happy growing

0.4A at 110v is 44watts. This is what these sellers don’t tell you. They aren’t technically lying to you because they list the current draw, but if you don’t know anything about electric…they got you @Dhay

@Jazzy take a look at HLGs 260XL and 320 XL DIY kits. Ive grown 2 plants with just the 260XL before i became addicted and purchased the 600r to go with it and fixing to pull the plug on a Scorpion…
