Hey mate. Thankyou for the advice, I really appreciate offering to help.

How about this one? Any good? Looks to be more powerful than the one I have and full spectrum??Image

Mate I'd invest in one of the small invisible sun boards or a fecida cr600. They've both done me well.
Brought the Fecida cr600. It was on offer plus I had a voucher to use aswell so it was really reasonable price wise.

Arrived today while I was out so it's not set up but God damn this thing is bright. I fully see what you're all saying now about my other one being crap .

Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it

It's the 1000watt. I tested it tonight, it seems a little overkill I won't lie. I could land planes with this thing lol. I've got a little booklet it says for flowering to have it between 80-100% power?

Am I in any danger if hurting the plants if I have it set too high?

IIRC
Seedlings - 10-20% and probably at least 50cm away

Veg - 20 - 50% as you go through this cycle

Flower - 50 to 100% as you go through the cycle.

My advice is slowly increase the dimmer and see how the plants react to it. LEDs are more powerful even though they may not feel it in terms of heat, but the light intensity is much stronger.

I have a couple of old purple lights spare if you can't get anything else. They do work but I'm not sure how many grows they would do until the chips are burnt out, but they will grow bud for sure. They are the Viparspectra V300 (130w) and a Maxisun (135w) which has a dimmer as well. They are small lights so they might be suitable for your space, I'll send some pics :oik!:

Hey thankyou for the kind offer but I went ahead and brought the Fecida cr600 that was recommended to me above. It was on offer on Amazon and I had a voucher to use as well so only cost me £60 in the end instead of £90.

Thankyou for the offer though. I really appreciate it.

That's a 60watter true power and all numbers look good to grow you 1 plant. Id look at doubling that power if you want more bud and to grow more than one plant. But ideally 1 plant vegged up for 3 to 4 weeks before flipping should do you an ok job. Its for sure x10 better than other light mate

Yeah there's two versions..600w and 1000w..the 1000w is 130w of true power I believe. I had it plugged into a smart plug and I'm sure it was correct. I'm not an expert in true wattage but I'm sure Mr Scoops can explain if that's right or not?

Yes sounds about right Wu, the 600 = 60watt and 1000 = 130watt.
