Go with a 600w bestva reflector series full spectrum. perfect for all stages but especially great for seedlings
they are about 85 on amazon and i have been running 24/0 for long time. no problems

the 600w bestva reflector series only pulls about 130 watts from the wall.

the VIPARSPECTRA 300w pulls the same amount and is a lot cheaper

i would recommend getting 2 VIPARSPECTRA 300w

Aerogarden. Works great. Set it and forget it. Can transplant after at anytime. Works great for me. Actually have a star dawg and a strawberry cough growing in mine now. Both looking good.

Well the light extends to around 2ft high.. So you have to send you plant into flower early and also take the flower stretching into consideration. I just topped them last Thursday so I'm gonna let it recover and veg some more then it's flower time..
