These guys are letting you know the truth. The problem is we deal with this all day everyday. Especially @TreeFarmerCharlie hes always in here like a GD broken record.

Put in work get results. Your light might get you through veg but flower is a whole other animal.

Looks like a nitrogen deficiency and not enough light getting to the plants. You'd be better off going to a big box store and buying a 4 pack of the 9 watt led lights and using them..... Also dont take picks with the shitty blurple on, we cant see shit when its on in the pics

What's the best light on a budget of around £100
Marshydro ?
I'm not a fan of Mars Hydro but it would definitely be better than what you have in there. If you go with their newer boards then you want around 30 or more watts per square foot. If you go with any LEDs that aren't as efficient as the LM301B then you want 50-60W per square foot.
 
Thanks all .will get better pics tomoz what's opinion on light more natural white light ie marshydro spec or the blurple systems

Box is 3x3 by 2 wide ft small exhaust fan temp/hum seem to be stable what size light
So it is 3' x 2' and 3' tall? If that is the case then it is 6 square feet so you would need 180 or more watts. I would recommend cutting the top off of that and making it taller though. 3' of height is not much room to grow cannabis in, especially when LED lights should not be closer than 20-24 inches off the canopy during veg and no closer than 18" from the canopy during flower.

Sorry m8 no offense meant, but we get a couple of these threads every day where a couple google searches will give you the exact answer you're looking for with less sass

Can he put that much light in that small of a space though?

The height is going to be a problem for sure. With that height limitation it might be better to go with T5, since those can be inches from the plants, but I have no idea how many watts of T5 he would need.

Had a little look into t5 but marshydro 600 appealed how do people do it in little stealth grows
Some of them use CFL and some use lower wattage LEDs and just cover the walls with them. Keeping the plants small can be a challenge, though, because some strains just really like to stretch in flower.
