Hello everyone, although I’m new on the forum I’ve been lurking on it for many years, but just recently created an account because I finally decided to quit stalling and grow my weed, seeing that where I live only Paraguayan brickweed is the only thing available I thought that growing it from the seeds you get amidst the brick is my best hope. Anyways, the economic situation where I live is dire and the access to growing equipment is really hard because they’re mainly imported, but I’ve came across there cheap Full spectrum LED lights that claim to be 60w

I think they’re too good to be true, I would really appreciate the opinion of someone experienced on this matter. I have a small setup 50cmx50cmx1m I plan to grow 1 or maybe 2 plants. Anyways what you guys think would yield better harvest; These cheap FS LED, Regular65k house Led, or plain cfls ? Those are pretty much my only options.
I thank you guys in advance for the attention.

Hey, man, I really appreciate the help. Anyways, I’m pretty sure I can get those, how many W would you recommend for a worthwhile yield ? And how close to the plant should I set them up ?

The ones I have are supposedly 15w replacement for 100w, 1560 lumen, 6500K daylight, LED GLS (made by LINX) but I'm only growing small plants.

Hold on for more replies before you spend your money though.

Can you not get your hands on an hps light mate?
Get a " 600w hps" here for like £70 and they can drop a half kilo no worries.

Thanks for the replies everyone.
I thought about it, however I live in a tropical area which is pretty hot already And my setup is fairly small I was worried that heat would be a prob with hps. Don’t you think ?

Thanks for all the help mate.
I also intend to grow small plants, that’s why I’m thinking cfl, In don’t think I’ll find quality grow led around here, do you think even the regular house leds would yield a better result than cfl ?

Oh, I did not, sorry! Haha just woke up, still a bit groggy.
Anyways I just read it and it made me more confident about going cfl, specially due to my small size tent and the price.
However I’m still wondering what would yield better, regular house LEDs or cfls.
anyways I’ll have to decide today, and will keep you guys updated on it. Thanks for all the support
As genetics go, I can’t wait to try these South America land races before they become shit brickweed, the one in my profile pic is manga Rosa which is native to Brasil and I’ve smoked a lot in the past, simply delicious
