New Grower my first grow and im using 90W LED

[Rozzy]

Hey Guys!

So i have set up my first grow for autoflowers.
I am using a 90W LED light with also a LED light strip and they are both a combination and im not sure what W the strip is.
But anyway, i have 2 Royal Creamatic from Royal Queen Seeds,
1 Nitromatic from Powerseeds.
These seeds have just started and are in small soil pots.

And i also had a chance to get two regular female clones, 1 is Cheese and the other is Amnesia Haze.
These clones have been growing for 2 weeks in 11L pots

I will upload pictures once i have got them all in the 11L pots.

Any thoughts?

How big of a room, also generally autos shouldn't be transplanted

The space is 1m x 1m but i should have a tent very soon.

I havent transplanted them, they were in the paper cups with soil and when the first root shot through i planted them in the 11L pots

It seems like for that big of a tent 90w led is too small, typically I've seen people run one 300w led in that space sometimes two.

actually you only need 100 watt for a plant to grow as "recommended". and that's with cfls etc... with LED it's 60-70 watt I believe. it's just not gonna be a gigantic monster plant which we all usually strive for here.

A 90w led doesn't draw 90w it'll actually draw something closer to 40-50w, and he doesn't have just one plant in the room. A led strip has very low wattage also. And the most "recommended" wattage that's been told, is to provide 35-50watts per sq ft.

Well he/she doesn't state if it's actual draw or not. if it is he/she is spot on growing as recommend for 2 plants (sorry overlooked that it's actually 3)
So basically adding a bit of cfl would be needed

damn ok so while writing this I'm slowly realising and rereading that first post and yes you're right rozwada94 you need quite a bit more light!

if you're not able to get more light as of this instant I would put your seeds in a windowsill till you get the right amount of lights! (this will provide WAY more light then you'll ever get from what you have atm.)

Maybe post a picture?

Now I just read her profile and I would believe that somebody with photo experience probably knows all that

Yup if price is a problem look up cfl's you can get a 250w with a reflector for like $60, only thing is you need a dual spectrum light or two separate lights one for veg(2700k) and one for flowering. Marshydro also sells 300w led panels (180w actual draw) for like $105

Before I'd spend $60 on CFLs, I'd find another $20 and get a 180 LED. Also, those striplights are only good for sidelighting in a space bucket, they are a complete waste in a growroom. In fatc, you can get a Mars Hydro 300 watt LED for $102 direct from their website. They also have the 180 watt UFO LED for $84
