The Fecida CR600 is £69 with 5% off from amazon. Actual draw is just over 100w. It has a dimmer too. I've ran one of these and was impressed.
Even better

Don't waste your money on any of those lights dude.

Let me have a dig around in the garage later and see if I got a small LED you can have.

Send the original light you got back to amazon and get a refund BTW.

Yes it will grow and veg your plants up ok, but for budding a weed plant up you really need to be looking at least 100watts true power draw, i mean colour spectrum is sound but rest of it is crap man. Looking at specs its 12v x 2.5a = 30 watt true power draw.

You can get much better for that price, if it was all about looks it would be a winner hands down. You can pick up half decent led lights 2nd hand on eBay for that price and cheaper and yes even new that will perform better. A quick look i see you can get plenty half decent and better led 2nd hand as well as new from £30 to £80.

So yes id think about getting summink else for flowering. I mean even this which is a £5`ver atmo is gonna trounce that and easily out perform it when it comes to flowering plants out https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255983035364 ... R5SCspDPYQ

Anyhow it will veg you plants up cheap enough but its a bit of a waste of time if your wanting it producing buds Pork Chop. Can you not get your cash back and ill try to find ya a half decent new or 2nd hand one on eBay for a similar price ? But hit me with a pm anytime before you splash out again and ill take a look for you and find summink x10 better than this rubbish.

Old wardrobes or small cupboards are great for growing bud in too not just tents, i grow in a small cupboard.
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

Yes if its 360watts true power draw from socket in wall it will piss all-over the light you've bought but im sure Marcus will have you a much better freebie in his garage, tis a great offer from him their, I'd snatch his hand off mate. Proper UFO lights are decent cheap little things tbh. Don't you have a link so i can look at all specs myself ?

That's a really generous offer. I don't want to put anyone out though, I feel bad.

I don't mind saving abit back this month and buying one of the new ones next month. But if you're absolutely sure you don't mind that'll be amazing! I'll gift @vader this light as he said he could make use of it - I brought it last year so I can't return it anyway.

One thing ill say is autos are finicky and you need to be on the ball with them right from the get go or you wont get the full potential from them, if i were you id look at getting a new light asap before they get much bigger, just like 2 scoops said if you try and flower with that you’ll regret it.
Invisible sun is a sponsor of the forum and offer a forum discount so make sure to check there first, there is a thread on the forum where you can see all the latest lights as well.
You could use the flowering light to veg anyway if needs be so thats where you should spend your money, better light = better bud.
Even a hps setup would be better than what youve got, will be cheap to purchase but more expensive to run than led, also led are usually dimmable so you can adjust the light output when you need to.

What nutrients are you going to use?
You can have it once I get a new one if you like?

I can't return it anyway and I have literally no other use for it after this... Let me know mate and I'll send it to you.

Anyway....

Day 14 of the gorilla cookies and Day 9 of the critical Kush XXL.

Both doing ok so far. Doing nothing special with them feed wise or anything just yet. Water only as the soil has feed for up to 4 weeks apparently. ImageImage

Thanks mate. I'll try to do weekly photos.

Hopefully they come good. I'm excited to see how they grow. Appreciate the message, take care
