Hey everyone, I'm growing 2x amnesia and 1x Super Lemon Haze (Autoflowering) outdoors at the moment, they are 2 weeks and a half old and growing, But underdeveloped, small leaves, thin long stems.. the weather isn't too great, they are receiving roughly 15 hours of light a day with scattered direct sunlight here and there, I want to give them an extra 4-5 hours of light, i believe that might be the cause for their underdevelopment? So if I want to get a grow tent that's 1x1x1x1 meters, how much led power do I need for 3-4 plants? X5 25W leds? Or less? Or more? Thanks guys.

I wouldn't bring outdoor plants in unless completely necessary, better off starting new indoors as you aren't far into it presently.

metric system ,ugh,lol.............3/4 "plants", lots of variables, starting point would be generally around +/- 400w of Cobs, QBs


good luck

Plan on between 25 to50w per square foot sorry for translation. Veg lower demand bloom higher demand. Don't focus on what light source find a good one do some research before asking. These folks will sell you a cheap solution if you let them. Many variables beyond growing style or cobs or qbs many choices from fixtures to parts and build your own. I would check out chilledgrowlights.com for ideas and information to become an informed consumer caveat emptor

If you are to bring them in I'd keep them under 24hr light or at least 20/4 light as autos Flower by Maturity, not by season. It may help them catch up for the rest of their grow.

As for the lights VegesWinner hit the nail on the head. Do some research and find a light or lights that suits your grow. It's all trial and error and a big learning curve.

Best of luck!
