The only lights from Amazon that I would recommend would be the one I mentioned a few comments back or one of the lights from Horticultural Lighting Group. The only reason I mentioned the one I did was because I have personal experience with it.

They don't need much light at all when they are seedlings. They start requiring more light once they hit the vegetative stage.

Timenuke said:

Yes I know, but I had a look around and your recommended light doesn't ship to me on amazon and cost more to ship it over here than buying one that available over here

Do an Amazon search for "1500W COB LED Grow Light" and you will find them. They are made under multiple brand names. Just look for one that looks just like it that has good reviews and it will be very similar.

I been moving them outside during the morning and getting at least five - six hours of sunshine before I put her under the light again, but could you help me Im not sure what happen to the main one

It could be light shock. Plants, especially young plants, need to be hardened off before being moved outside under the sun. If that is the one that had a slow start then it could also just be a weaker, or more sensitive, plant than the other.

It is the First one that had a slow start, it definitely improved growth in last few days but over last days I noticed it started to look bit unhealthy so I moved it away from the light and started to bring it outside now, my light was standing at at 16" now at 24" and yes I slowly started to bring it outside but as I'm getting more sunshine over the weekend so, I was hoping to put it out more during the weekend.
yesterday I kept her outside for about 3-4 hours in sunshine and rotating every hour or so. And today I'm going to have her in the sunshine about 4-5hrs

Update on the first grow that was stunted, day 55

Is this ideal lighting for small grow

Iv seen a friend grow with a single 30w light it can be done but your better off spending an extra couple quid and getting better grows

Timenuke said:

Im going to have look around for the UK alternative as they don't ship here unfortunately. But at the moment I got two 65w white led lights running at the moment, places it in my wardrobe, and for extra measure I took out energy saving lamp too that provides about 40w hanging above it. Then once I found a alternative for that lighting kit I order it ASAP

If your only doing small grow hydro ts600 is a decent light affordable aswell

Autos aren't easier to grow, they just don't rely on the light schedules to go into flower. The only difference is that your plant won't reveg when the days get longer. They still need a lot of light to grow and, due to their "hard coded" life cycle, they are less forgiving to mistakes made during their growing (poor lighting, physical damage, improper watering and/or feeding).

Autos from good breeders are usually easier to grow in my EXPERIENCE. Just leave em alone alone and let them grow like WEED! Don’t need much help although their genes do seem to allow for anomalies here and their. Like WEED does. Phenomes can change like all WEED.

I like your hard coded statement by the way. It’s the ruderali in em. I think. God bless brother.

IMO I think your pot size might be a bit premature for the plant size as well.

For the most part pot size is relevant to your whole grow. For me. 2 gallons for quick autos and 3 gallons for 10 weeks plus. Need good light and environment to meet your objectives.
