Looks like you are off to a good start
Yeah,two are in there now.So soon I will have a little extra $$$ to throw a budget light in there to finish off.I gotta look but I might be able to grow it in a closet I have here.Mine is set up the same way. Looking good. Don’t give up - you don’t HAVE to spend any more than you already have. Let the plants do their thing now. Just be careful of overcrowding, I started with three plants and had to move two out because they were starved for space.
Yeah lol.For the hell of it I just checked the soil agan now 5hrs later and it is dry.So when lights come back on she will get some more water.That seedling looks perfect. It's nerve-wracking how slowly they grow when they're tiny.
As far as adding another light I am looking at the Viparspectra.They have a model that is 95w from the wall and has heat sinks and dimmable I see going for 40-50 bucks.Not bad.The MH TS 600 is a good light but man does it run HOT.I put my finger on the back of it and I immediately have to remove it as it is too hot to leave there.I will be happy with it as long as it lasts awhile but know that electronics can quit at any moment.Just the nature of the beast as I have done my share of desktop builds and am very familiar with sending back DOA parts to exchange out for the same part many times.
I was looking at those too.Man,there are a ton of different lights out there.I have 2 100w lights in my 2x2 tent. If heat is an issue you may want to check out one that I have, it's called "Unit Farm UF2000" on Amazon. It isn't dimmable, but the driver isn't mounted to the board so you can place it outside of your tent.
