You fucken guys! The OP was talking about using little lights to grow weed, not which is bestest in the Biggliest Way. It was about minimalism not maximum yield.
- Anyway
I am using cheap lights too. A 50 watt panel in my cultivator tub and a 225 and a 140 Wall watt panels, in a pair of ~2'X2' screens. The problem with them is penetration/coverage. To get the photon count up, the things have to be 6-8 inches from the tops, so I LST & SOG to even the tops, but hte lights only 'cover' about 15X18 inches.
The Spectrum of the lights is "pretty good" and and the power draw is low enough to keep the load to about 5-6 amps on a 15 amp circuit, lights, pumps, and fan.
I had some problems last grow and still ended up with six quart jars of pretty good bud. I don't have a scale but if it lasts 'til Xmas, I'll have round #2 in the jars.
The light shown above is interesting due the the cups the restrict the spreading of the photons. My panels are more like QB boards without any restriction of the approximately 120 degree cone of radiation. I lose a lot of light to the side as the photons are not aimed right. Oh darn, but I can fix that.
I refuse to fund the weed capitalists, so I grow my own with what I can accumulate. I may be old and poor, but I'm higher than FUCK!

Oh hell ya half ounce would be great ... I'm not a drug dealer or farmer I want a little personal stash of home grown bud lmao anyways I ordered the 300w led panel which replaces a 150w hps as soon as it arrives in the next week my plant will start growing fast so I'm not worried hahah anyways thanks for your ignorance and willingness to put me down and try to steer me away from growing but Imma keep doing what I'm doing as this isn't my first grow as I said before . Has been a few years since my last grow

id get 6 days out that amount of weed but if you smoke like one bong a day i see no problem using low wats to grow apart from its a waste of time when you could get 3 times the amounts with stronger lights and potentially only need to do one grow a year over 4 a yearYou fucken guys!

i use a low ish watt led to grow and have done 6 grows under it and im telling low watt leds can grow a plant but its still a shit light regardless and a waste of time when if you upgrade your lights harvest will be better

please explain why you refer to people as ignorance when you clearly have no clue when it comes to pulling a decent yield also explain why you even came to ask if you have enough light when you wont listen to anyone regardless of them attempting to be helpful
my guess is your a punk child and you shouldn't be smoking cannabis
if you're not a child you're sure acting like one

@TheHaters (all of you) -
Lol if you say it's bs I guess you are god because you know all. Trolling ? Lol I'm helping the original post. You believe what you will. I don't know where ppl are getting this 4g per 4watt but yes I got about 8oz from 4 plants with 4 blurp lights. Believe what you will and start arguments but I'll keep growing the way I do and won't lose sleep over all your silly posts.
@CODEE420GROWS,
I apologies for the hate comments by some of the other members. I have no reason to lie or troll or whatever anyone says... I grew what I grew and will continue to keep going the way I am. Wishing you all the best of luck.[/QUOTE]

I understand your point but not everyone has the funds to grow with high quality lights I do not work so I do not have extra cash to spend on lights I'm using tax returns and YouTube checks to buy this equipment and it's not alot so I am doing the best I can with what I got

you need to think in the long run. this is how it works buy a light that's less effective and uses more power but the light is cheap so up front cost is cheap but when its time to pay your electricity bill you'll be paying allot more then if you go the more efficient lights that use less power but cost more up front but when its time to pay your electricity bill you'll be paying allot less
over 4 grows you'll start saving allot of money. keep using inefficient leds and you'll understand in time but have fun with that

I realize your point and even agree with what your saying. I too am looking at the quantum lights because of all the good reviews. But they are expensive.

id like that too and its out of my price range. no one is telling this kid to go buy that and no one is telling not to buy the light he is looking at we are all just saying their is better lights
i started with a 45w red blue panel then moves to marz them to viparspectra now im moving to quantum boards only for the electricity reduction
the current light i am using is 270w true watt viparspectra what cost me $200 what is much stronger then the light he is intending on buying. the vipar will cover a 2x2 space in flower and will costs me $500 for electricity used i pay 35cents per 1000 kilowatt so electricity savings is a big thing for me
on a good grow ill pull 5 OZ off two plants
if i was to buy a 135w quantum boards that costs me $250 it will cover a 2x2 in flower will probably yield me the same but my electricity bill will be half Eg: $250. so from the savings from my electricity bill i can now go buy another 135w QB put both in one room and cover a 4x4 and produce half a pound if not more for my original $500 bills what in turn i can turm off my grow for 3 month because last grow i produced enough to keep me going. well not me because i smoke too much but for most people it work out like that
when i look at more efficient leds all i see is savings

yep,
this is an idea of the difference thats isnt all yack no bite
now take a light 320 HGL XL V-2 which is over 6 times more photosynthetic photon flux density and higher PAR figures (don't quote my bad math skills) as that the
HLG 65 Quantum Board in video
so who knows how many burble lights that is at some silly watt rating they simply are not really rated for its all marketing.
Soon all you can buy will be LED for light bulbs, shop lights etc, check home depot is you don't believe me.
this guy did a good comparison gives you an idea of what is most energy efficient=low heat=low energy use=less cooling etc, to me you gotta look at big picture as far as energy use, AC is not cheap to use if your grow space gets hot your plants suffer so do you lol
samsung quantum boards
or these strip type(just an example) type make your own light

I attempted to politely dismiss you because I’d rather not engage with a mentally unstable person. I’m still laughing at how stupid you are if that’s what you’re asking.
