Sansi 15w Full Spectrum LED bulbs from Amazon

A HLG65 would not be too much light, I'm using one in a 35x35x50cm tent (about 1x1 I think?) and I wish I had more light.

Interesting. At roughly 45 watts per square foot, you're way over what most LED growers use. How long have you had the board over your plants?

The sansi bulbs are large, inefficient and apparently cost a lot. What's the point? Of course you can grow weed with any light source, we already know that. The bulbs I use from the local supermarket are 20 watts and put out 2520 lumens and they cost a lot less than 19.90$. I'm sure you could find similar bulbs where ever you are.

ps. A HLG65 would not be too much light, I'm using one in a 35x35x50cm tent (about 1x1 I think?) and I wish I had more light.

I would repeat everything I've already said but...

Anyway not enough or too much light is entirely subjective. If I wanted my plants to grow faster, I would want more light too. In a month my plants take up almost the entire 2x2 footprint. I don't need more light. Maybe you're trying to flower in your 1x1? If I didn't mention already, this is my veg/clone tent so I'm not looking for the shock and awe levels of photons.

One person. One person in the whole thread.

Good job calling them out.

He was absolutely right. The majority of this thread is someone trying to tell me that I made a stupid decision because of x, y, z option that I had available to me. Either nobody bothered to pay any attention to anything I wrote or people just love to criticize. This was a lesson in futility from the start but I followed through for shits and giggles. Approval not required or desired. And idk where everyone is pulling their claims about this light's efficiency (or lack there of) but maybe that's bc I know better than to take the arbitrary manufacturer's box claims for supermarket lights (or these) to be worth more than a stray pubic hair found in a public restroom. The point of a forum is to post info, ask, and answer questions...all part of that whole community thing. Criticizing anyone who doesn't follow the status quo is so fucking boring and for a bunch of stoners, lotta assholes around these parts in 2018.

Anyway, idgaf and since this thread got bumped, I may as well showcase the girls under my mutually accepted shit ass diarrhea LED fixture that I could have replaced with a solar panel powered diode from a micheals art supply mason jar.

And here they are today. Basically no room in the 2x2 anymore 1 month and 7 days from sprout, one plant topped, one has weird genetics I think. 1/4 of their life was spent under 1 bulb and the rest under 3, hacked to remove lenses a week or so ago (foggy on that one). I'm chopping them up today for clones before they go to the flower tent where I will be flowering under 69 of these bulbs.
