What do you think about this LED?

[idf420]

Hello everyone.

i am a new grower and i hope that some of you more experienced growers could give an advice about choosing a LED.

some details :
i have a 2X2x3 (60CMx60xmx170cm) tent and i also have a 250 HPS for late veg and flowering.
i am also using soil that i bought from the local hydro shop and biobizz fertilizer set .
my friend suggested me to buy a 50w LED for the seedling and early veg state so i went online and found this one :

- 6500k Fahrenheit
- 4500 lumens.
- 90 lm/w
- 240 illumination angle
- 50w

Will 1 bulb like this be enough for 2 plants?
Do i need to add a warmer bulb for better results at early stage of veg?

...not sure that will be enough. The seedlings may stretch really bad.

do you suggest to add another 6500k led something warmer?

I would honestly suggest an entire different light....that depends on your budget though.

Well this is exactly the problem - BUDGET.
this light cost around 15-20 dollars and produce way more light than CFL.
other grow lights that I've seen start from 100$ (include shipping to my country)
also i have the HPS bulb for later stages.

will 2 of those be enough?

It will work and they will grow....just may be a little stretchy until they get moved under the HPS.

I needed a little seedling light, root farms has a decent one for $100 bucks that I bought at my local walmart. Workes perfectly.

This was just before transplant

since i live in a country without Walmart lol, can you please tell me the specs or model name of the light you using?

 

[Hrenklin]

I cant even find a model but you can find it on root farms website, and if you dont have a walmart, you could just grab a 45w led light from amazon. Really don't need alot of power on it

i found the root farms light on amazon, its 63$ + 89$ shipping lol.

i am wondering since my light is 6500k 50w and you are offering a 45w light, why the one that i got now wont work?
i also have a 20w 2700k light bulb that i am thinking to add (both for light intensity and spectrum) will it be enough?

It looks like it puts out about as much light at the same spectrum as a t5 HO light. That would be good for seedlings, not enough light for decent veg, and no good for flowering.
I've used a t5 for about 3 weeks of growing from when the seed broke the soil and it didn't kill my plants, but I moved them outside under the sun as soon as I could.
For anything indoors an led panel is your best option, especially if electricity is expensive where you are.

Check out a Mars-Hydro TS-600 or TS-1000.

This light I think is more suitable for sidelight. You can look at TS1000 if you want to grow 1or 2 plants.
