{Two pictures listed are different times apart}Grow tent size (48x24x60) This is my first time indoor grow run I picked up everything cheap and off eBay due to the fact money’s kinda tight I have what’s claimed to be a 1200 watt light (keep in mind it’s $45 on eBay) my plants have been in this set up from purchas as clones roughly 3 weeks old, they seem to be looking very beautiful and I was just wondering if everything is going good and has anyone else used a light like this and actually had good buds come time to switch in flower. I was also looking to see your guys opinion on if I should get the same eBay “1200 watt” light again as number 2 because it seems as if that tent does not get enough *i would get better lights but due to money being an issue and this my first attempt I wanna just see what I can do. ANY INFORMATION ON HELPING ME GROWING IS VERY USEFUL ex.? how manny I can fit in there,what’s the recommended height in tent before switching to flower etc anything will help me thanks in advance.

I got a 1200w eBay light that looks like that, it was pulling 35w from the wall. 35w from the wall isn't enough for 1 sq foot. I fronted the seller and he refunded $20.

You need to check the sticker for from the wall watts. Even a budget 1200w light should be pulling 150-170w.

I'd bite the bullet and get a Mars Hydro ts600 for $90ish. I know money is an issue but underpowered lights and you can end up with a handful of popcorn buds. You can get up to 1.75gram per Watt on a perfect grow, most times it's more like .75 gram Watt.

Those small foot print lights you drop them to 10-18 inches in flower and they cover 1sq foot. So 1sq foot will be decent and the farther from that you go the smaller the nugs get.

It boils down to watts = weight, that goes hand in hand with more dirt more roots.
