Hey guys! So I have a 2’x2’x4’ wood box interior painted white that I’m growing in. Still trying to figure out ventilation but waiting until after I get lights figured out, I have some ideas already.
I currently have one 32w Feit electric 3spectrum grow light I got from Home Depot for like 70 bucks. https://www.feit.com/products/grow-lights/adjustable-3-color-spectrum-dual-2ft-led-grow-light/
I know I need more light, so my question is should I get another one of those (making the total wattage 64) or should I get the Mars Hydro ts1000(https://www.amazon.com/MARS-HYDRO-Thermometer-Hygrometer-Marshydro/dp/B07PLY1WKK
)and return the light I have? Prices would be the same as getting another Feit light after returning so I’m REALLY leaning towards the MS ts1000
Advice is welcome thanks y’all

Just trying to grow and get the hang of it before getting into anything big. I’ve tried before and failed miserably so I’m just trying to learn on a smaller scale for now
I’m pretty sure the plant I have is indica dom anyway so

Return that light ASAP ...seen that crap at Home Depot.
A regular T5 would be better than that choice.

But the TS1000 has some growers using it . It works for about a 2x2 and apparently throws about 530umol at 18” . Not too bad . But draw is nowhere near stated. Actual is about 150w but driver can be adjusted up slightly.

You are paying about a dollar a watt based on pricing ... amazon I believe is like $130.
I say why not ? ...

Worse could happen is that this light will used as a supplement as you get more grows done and upgrading.

I figured as much for the light I have. Seems okay for the seedling I have but no way it’ll work later on.
The mars can be adjusted up to 164w-ish I believe or down to like 38w. My box is 2x2 so I ithink it would work.
Come late winter my plan is just to veg small seedlings or clones early then throw em outside come May/June.
