Doing my first set up and need some opinions on lights

[RMB22]

I'm going to be growing 2 royal gorilla autos and if they go well I may get the non auto versions.
I dont want to use a tent if I don't have to I have an unused room to grow in
If I want to use LED only could I get away with one light?

Depends on the light... but yes

Autoflowers are a lot less forgiving than photo period plants. What size area are you looking to grow in?

 

[RMB22]

I'm totally new to this if photo period plants are generally easier to grow I'll go with that version.
The room is probably 2x3m
The space for the plants is probably like 2x6ft
Sorry i wasn't sure which area you meant am high as fucj

Which would you suggest

Photo plants are easier, because you have more time to fix mistakes. Autoflowers have a set lifespan, if you fuck up, you just potentially missed out on a weeks worth of growth or more (as an example

It's not that they are specifically easier to grow, you just have more leeway with fixing any errors you make. Autoflowers will flower when they are genetically ready regardless of their current health. If your photo plant has issues you make a correction and flip to flower when healthy. Good luck

Should be able to bust out 2 fatboy plants with this bad boy. Can get some $ off with discount code "RIU10"

If your a bit more mechanically inclined, you can build an LED high quality for less money. But you'd have to head over to the LED forum for help with that lol

HLG lights are where it’s at for led lights IMO but they are expensive. You can get much cheaper and same quality from China just make sure you get the better diodes. If you aren’t interested in quantum board LEDs like the HLG ones, you could always get a blurple. My father bought this one from amazon and has it and another smaller one in a 4x4 tent. I told him it wasn’t going to work well and, I was very wrong. He grew big fat kolas, mildly airy but resin covered galore. I would say if you are just experimenting and are a first time grower you would be safe with the blurple.

Could also get a 315w cmh (ceramic metal halid) lamp for about $100-$150 if price is a concern
