Lighting Micro grow

[Melin]

Hi everybody!

Im a newbie, from a small european counrtry, and I would like to ask some questions!

Im a first time grower, trying to set up my micro grow cabinet. It is 46cm x 56 cm and the height is 149cm.
Ive got a cheap LED full spectrum UFO light, the advertisment sad it is 300W. Im not sure about real wattege....

Will it enough for one or two autos?
(I want to use mylar to cover the cabinet.)

The light provides :
20cm - 25110 lux
50cm - 8230 lux

This parameters are right, I checked it with a lux meter.

Thank you guys for helping me out,

Linda

Hi @Melin , that light should be fine for 2 plants, my grow space is a similar size. Use smaller pots, I use 5 litre. You may need to top or lst to keep them short.
Hit me up if you need help. You can also see my grows in my signature. @archie gemmill will be along shortly for a proper AFN welcome!

Thank you guys for the reply. @Rollin_along @archie gemmill

In the blooming phase is recommended 50000-750000 lux, right?! Than this lamp provides way too less light, or am I wrong?sould I buy some deep red lights for this phase to achive the optimal yield?

I dont know what to do, go for one plant in a big pot or two smaller one... witch has the better value with my circumstances?
What do u think about two plants in one big pot?
(I orderd royal jack and quick one from RQS, this girls are about the same size)

I read the journals, nice plants
Im looking here and all over the internet for a while and I am just getting more and more confused...

First grow take it easy,sit back and watch the plants.we have a habit of doing to much first grow,adjustments changing this and that.2 seeds one pot aint best practice.i like small pots perpetual,about 21 days between plants
Good luck n keep er lit

 

[Melin]

21days between two plants, such a good idea!

Yes, you are right, ill take it easy!

Go with smaller pots and concentrate on keeping them alive, get into flower and learn from mistakes. Harvest, smoke and repeat.
