Indoor what light would you use?

[Larry Live]

Hey everyone.
I have 2 autoflower seedlings going right now.
I had them under a cfl bulb for the 1st few days.
They are 1 week old.
I am growing in coco and they are in 1 gallon pots.
I have a 150w floralux hps light and I have a very cheap 150w led light.
I am just growing for fun right now, so nothing serious.
I was just wanting to know if it was you.
Which light would you use and how close should the light be?

Again I will be buying better lights soon.
This is just a fun hobby for me, so I know not to expect much.

So what light would you use if you had a choice out of the 2?

Thank you

With that small of led i'd rather run the hps,Just getting away from hps myself lol

Can run it pretty close if you have good cooling in your space,I was running mine 3 or 4 inches above my plants with just that little 6" fan blowing on it

I would agree with Shumway HPS over that LED. Can you get away with using both ? I think that would be optimal.

I was going to say both or if it's just one light then the HPS bulb.

With a low wattage led, I'll suggest what I usually suggest and that is running the led around the clock.

I decided too run 1 plant in a waterfarm.
So how close should the led light be?
You really think I should run 24/0 or should I run the 150w hps instead?

Give us the full specs of the led or a link to it and we could help you out better

I would definitely go with the hps over that tiny thing

Is running both lights an option ?
