If you're serious about growing you need a better light.

Looks good for what your working with. You need around 100w to get any decent yield. Look for full spectrum light...should have 3000k, 5000k, and 660nm diodes at least...some now come with ir and uva included. Looks like your in an enclosed area so ventilation should be addressed also. Good luck!

Ooh okey good to hear that it might turn out good , and indeed I’ll get the light sorted soon, the area that its in has a automatic ventilation system so i hope that’s enough, but im also gonna buy a tent , so I’ll sort that as well, and thank your i have a high expectation, even tho it wont be much just hope its gonna be good

Yea just read directions probably like a tablespoon to a gallon. Then get a little cheap spray bottle or just make sure to soak leaves and water it in also. If have left over leaves for next feeding.

You don't have to go super expensive to get a great result. You only really need like 125w-200w for a single plant, depending on how efficient the light is, of course.

Nice job...you don't have to break the bank. With the 301h diode being released, there are lots of lights with older chips like the 281 or 301b that will do everything you need for a fraction of what it did a year or 2 ago. You can also get cob light with Vero or Cree chips that would work great. Avoid the high dollar stuff it seems like every few years the light everyone drools over is obsolete so buyer beware good luck and keep learning
