Welcome !!!

I just started consuming at the end of Dec of 2018 and started growing end of Jan (or so) of 2019. I bought a couple of SANSI lights from Amazon. 40 Watt lights, which are not equivalent at all to 40 watt incandescent. more like an 800 watt (equivalent) bulb. Grew some nice Autos to start and have a photoperiod (unknown strain) now moved outside all big and bushy. I know LED measure in a different way, using PAR, but in Lumens the 2 really put out the Lumens. I'll attach link to the light and picture graph of the light spectrum. Many folks use these for other plants indoors with great success. I keep this in mind, 1000Watt bulb will burn 1000W or 1 kw and if it's on 1 hour uses 1 kw of electricity. Let's say your Kw costs are 13.9 cents or 14 cents (national average... Michigan is 16cents ) so you run 16 hours of light a day on timer. .14 x 16hrs = $2.24 / day X 30 days in month = $67.20 extra electricity consumed above and beyond what your normal electric bill is. 4 months of running 1000 W bulb 16 hours a day, will cost you an extra $268.80 of electricity to grow just the weed. I'm cheap. I use 2 X 40 Watt and that is 80W total (but actually on SANSI it is more ike 37 watts per bulb. Did I mention they are BRIGHT and full spectrum? So I try to keep electric costs in line with our budget. A good mylar grow tent that has reflective sides top and bottom will do wonders for channeling lights down thorough the plant. I would even turn the plants at least 1 time during the light hours so that different areas would be hit a little more intense.

Link on not too expensive grow tent. I have this on my wish list. Amazon product ASIN B01DXYMQ9M

How many plants you growing, what's your space?? A 40w bulb is not going to replace 800w my Telos 008 was 240 Actual wattage and replaced around 400w hps. My tent is 1.2 X 1.2 that's 15.5 sq ft I'd need at least 4 of those lights in order to fill that space and would be 160w and that would not replace 800w HPS more like 150-200w HPS

I would get a tall tent 5 or 6 feet mines 2x4x6 and just look for the thicker material ones with what looks like the kind of holes for vents you like and viperspec 450 is a pretty good light for cheap I run 2 of them in my tent

I thought about a Viper.. But the videos I saw of Phlizon where guy was running one of each both 2000w the Phlizon came out on top .. I think for anything light under say £300 I'd go for Phlizon 2000w cob for £229 and covers a 4x4 space with ease, but check out some of the grows

I eventually switched one of my Viper specs for a optic 2

I like it more then my viperspec the light it gives off looks more like a natural daylight haven't had it long so can't say too much on how well it does you can see the difference in the light's here

I don't go with high THC makes my mind to active, THC studies show it works better for Nausea and appetite, THC (As far as I am aware) doesn't deal so much with pain, that is all CBD and how the cannabinoids react with receptors in brain.. all I know is I find low CBD and high THC not benefiting me re pain... I often get bad neck and most the bud I smoke where I am (If I have to buy) doesn't help me with pain... Anything I grow does

CBD strains I have done include

RQS Stress Killer
Fast Eddy
BlueMatic

CBD Compassion Lime (Dinafem) I think

Industrial CBD.. there are more but my mind has gone blank now lol

Thanks for the feedback, I’ll look for CBD seeds and try growing them.

I also use CBD Isolate and like that a lot.

Where can I get that?
