I have a Agromax 65 watt and I’m trying to grow a sweet tooth auto I’m using coco coir and ocean forest 70/20/10 perlite. Is this light enough or does it need help?

is it the agromax raw 65 3000k ?
They put out 11000 lumens so it should be fine for one plant. Don’t expect a huge harvest, even at 2g per watt you get 130g

I added another 20 w and a 250 w Screw in LED??? This all started out as a clone/starter set up and is slowly evolving the sweet tooth is on its fourth node and is showing life bottom leaves are yellow and the plant is pale green

More light 250 true watts led will work great also some other Deficiency’s looks like nitrogen but I’m no pro

Here is a pic any suggestions or advice would be appreciated
Is that a mason jar?
--- Just my opinion:
Transplant to a fabric pot or something with drainage and light proof.

Mason jar is not the best SUCKS because:
Light gets on your roots - they don't like that.
NO drainage - none. At all. Begging for root rot.
NO aeration - same.
Small necked container - your roots will probably expand beyond the neck and you'll tear them up transplanting (so do it now, before the roots get too big).

Still salvageable! :bigjoint:

Lol no it’s not a mason jar it’s this cookie jar which is shaped like a bear and I drilled mad holes and it’s quite bigger than looks like in the pic I never thought of light hitting the roots though ? Thanks

I’m a semi-noob, but researched a bit and am growing my first autos right now (banana kush from pacific seeds); at 5 weeks. I too am using a mix of OF but with half being last years soil I “cooked” in sun under a tarp after adding a generous sprinkle of Mykos, and Sorry not very specific. My question is did you start directly in that size pot? I know some say to mess with autos roots as little as possible but I felt mine were growing so quick I uppotted them twice from rooter in cloner (from seed, though!) to half gallon to 3 gallon cloth where they may may stay- Added Mykos to roots both times! Doesn’t seem to burn them even in generous amounts, but then maybe you just need nutes and more light? Mine get sun time and veg lights now

It’s tricky I have my medical card, I can buy, smoke and possess still can’t grow. This was really an experiment with the auto to get familiar with before I go forward with my next move prob outdoor cause everyone I partner up with is a moron or has drama and heat. I prob sounded like a newb with my very first post but got to start somewhere

I meant no implication of newb status for ya in my reply, haha, but I still kinda am. Started last year and had 3 good harvests- appreciate this forum greatly! Seems someone always some good info anytime.
I like doing mixture of out and in, mostly just for energy savings. Just converted an old hot tub into a little drop-in garden. Just some old safety glass to cover but let light through, then 40 bucks for 25ft. of mylar (goodprice/badprice?- dunno...) and some lights held by rods across the tub top but under the glass, and a couple wiring tweaks and I have easy convertible indoor to outdoor/mixed light...
Sorry to brag just stoked and I hope you can get creative with your op. Good luck!
