Some out got a photo mixed in with my autos… was running a 19/5 schedule so figure I can flip them to 12/12 - only light I have available at the moment is the 150w in the attached picture - will it be enough?
It’s not letting me edit my original post… I have the 75w light in the pic, not the 150
No. The lights in the picture are marketing gimmicks and are likely only 10 to 15% of the claimed wattage. These products are very common on Amazon and the listings are flat-out dishonest and these style light sellers have been exposed manipulating reviews (see below to see an example of a seller offering money to a reviewer to delete or make the written review more positive.)
All that said, the 75w light is probably only 15 or 20 true watts. The 150w model is probably on 30 or so watts. You want a light built with Samsung LM301 series diodes. HLG, Mars Hydro, and HLG all make good light. You need 200 watts per plant from one of these Mars, Spider, or HLG lights.
That’s what I figuered, thanks for the quick reply!

If you wanted to grow a couple plants you’d need something like this model. I have 4 of the 100w models that do great in a 4x4 tent.

@LateNightGardner’s suggestion is a good one. It is built with SAmsung LM301b diodes, which are what I have in my lights. Suggest 2 of them for 1 plant to get to 200 watts per plant.
That’s a decent light too, but I suggest 2 of them for the best results. You’ll have leggy plants with airy buds unless adequate light is used.
