I'm using a Marshydro TSW1000 in my vivosun 36"×20"×62" tent.

Imho, It's a good fit.

This pic is running at about 70% on the dimmer, 16" from canopy.(edit - I set it here a month ago, plants were 1/5th size, thanks for this thread realized I need to move it up, so I did raise it to 24").

100% is ridiculous for size and 150 watts. I think it would be fantastic for flower.

Those are two 5-gallon fabric pots in front, two 1-gallon on the side, with a small bottle in-between, and a quick DIY stand with two seedlings in back.

I think you will be disappointed using just that to flower.

Yeah, I see that now. This forum has helped me SOO much, I've learned to just "shut up and listen". But, it is INDEED a MAJOR upgrade from the 19W I used in the last grow.

For reference, what IS a "normal" amount for a plant to produce? (Ball park of course as I realize there are tons of factors.) Was 14.5 grams an average amount? a crazy small amount? If so, I'd assume going from 19 to 100 will give me WAY more.

Sir , there are too many factors to even get you within a mile from the ballpark.....
Some folks grow a rediculas amount of tiny ones to equal a good yield while others can get a few lbs off one plant. The "main" factor on that would be how big you grow them before deciding to flower them....

14 grams on ANY plant/s is good for a person who knows nothing.... you got .75 grams pet watt of light.....thats a "high yield' but i can promise you that you cannot use those numbers to form an opinion on your next grow.
20w=14g so 100w=70g is the math but thats not going to happen. Keeping them healthy and green is the key.....the rest will follow.

Following info on this forum should get you a MUCH higher number then on your own. With solid advice , you can get 60-150 grams easy out of one girl.

I still think you made out ok with that lamp you got, the price of the other light appears to be in USD.

$89 + $68 shipping = $157(&tax) = $180.55 USD = $225.19

Yes, you bought an inefficient blurple light for flowering cannabis..... It will produce "something", but it depends on your Outlook and how you value your time?;-)

If you look at the pic of the driver you can see the number XLG-100H-AB, meaning 100 watts. I don't know why they say 1000 watts unless they mean 1000 watt equivalent. https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/LED-Plant-Grow-Light-1000W-with-Samsung-Chips-and-Mean-Well-Driver-Growing-Lamps-Full-Spectrum-3000K-5000K-660nm-760nm-IR-Grow-Lights/PRD7FN8I75IXGI0

But @WubbaLubbaDubDub is right; it's a way better light than the two you mention.

That is truly amazing.

Wonder if they ship to UK.

Most say if you get 1 gram per watt you're doing well.
100w= 100 grams.

A plant indoors with the correct amount of light can easily produce 1+lbs from a tent.

Indoor/no tent, @Renfro pulls 3-4lbs per plant.

Genetics/space/light are your only limiting factors.

Sorry guys, I didn't mean to start any arguments. They way I look at it, The majority of folks here said the "Walmart" light was a good one and I've learned to trust the folks here. Will it give me maximum yield? I'm guessing not. BUT, I'd bet money that it will do WAY better than the 19 Watt I was using (Am currently using on a seedling, as I type this). I needed a new light, right away, and if this will bring me a higher yield than the 19 Watt did, I will consider it a success. The light is supposed to be here either today or tomorrow. I'll let you guys know how it turns out.

Just bought the Walmart one, $138 CDN to my door:D
It'll be used for supplemental lighting, I'll post how it compares with 315wCMH & 600w HPS

Slow down guys , the walmart one is not a good deal nor is it a "verified" light from the community. If you look at other options on this thread , you will see WAY better deals on verified lights.
