Hi all Canna-buddies
So i plan to start my first grow, now that i have some free time.
I am going with a PC Micro grow using LEDs with 1 or 2 plants max. My issue is that i'm from South Africa where things like Cree and Vero led's are very hard to come by and getting them online at digikey or mouser will prove to be very costly, when shipping is included. (Shout out to Mr Jacob Zuma for the dismal ZAR/USD exchange rate) My only choices are cfl's 18w 6400k, this is the most common, hard to source anything higher and sourcing 2700k's are also a mission, or Chinese star/cob led's from aliexpress or dhgate.
Can anyone help with lighting requirements for my plans? This is a fun project grow so i don't require the best lighting setup i just want something that will grow 1 or 2 plants and it doesn't have to be the greatest yield ever.
I would ideally like to use 1 light for veg + flower if possible.
I found this which has free shipping: CXA2530
Is it possible to use those chips ?
Kind Regards
