I honestly have no idea. For that type of LED you want a minimum of 50W per square foot so it's only suitable for a flowering plant that is only 6" x 6" wide (15cm x 15cm).

Let me know.
I’m assuming you are UK based on the language you’re using and the fact you have LFC Liverpool football club at the end of your name.
Lol might get a couple of lil nuggets . I'll just leave it flowering for ages aha . It's got activity all over tho
Lol hopefully I'll get some little nuggets . I'll send you the pics of the activity I got going on at the minute. Lol was after 4 days of flowering

Yeah, you'll get pistils but the buds will be very wispy and they won't pack on weight.
No worries . I'll have to try get a light asap . I'm in the UK . Isn't there any I can get from the shops that will help at all ?

Not really buddy. Other than household CFL’s and the bayonet clip on light cords etc.

Adding any lights to it would be better than nothing.

I would also advise that if you’re planning on using a timer for more than one of your 250w lights then I would Definately invest in a horticultural lighting contactor for your timer otherwise you’ll fry the mechanics in the timer etc.
Cheers mate . I'm off to look for some bright arse lights . Do I go by wattage it lumens ?
Cheers mate . I'm gonna go take a look . Do you know how much they are about?

The last time I saw the cords they were about £3 each. The CFL’s anything from £2-£10 Each.
You may have to buy a few though or if there are any aquarium shops open near you then that’s your best bet as you can get grow lights from aquarium shops as the lighting they use over planted tanks etc is the same lighting that we use.

Worse case scenario 11w CFL’s best case scenario 27W CFL’s. But the 27w CFL’s I’ve seen are an E27 fitment so require a different Type of cord.
I have just put this near it whilst I go take a look it's an led . Will that do any good . I'm off to see if the fish shop near me is open bro

It’s only 16w but it 16w more than you had before lol.
Lol got another one from by my house .its Only 18 watt . Thinking of buying another 100watt led light online see if I can get it here any quicker than my CFL lights that I ordered . I hopefully they will do the trick . It's better than nothing anyway haha
