I think your light is under powered for what you are trying to achieve. It's only enough to cover about 1.5 sq.ft.

I'm only growing two plants. 4 max. I dont need huge lights. My goal is an ounce to two ounces per plant. It's a little away from the light because I dont have the space to fit a 33 inch plant, dont want to bleach it. If it was smaller it could fit underneath the lamp.

How big is your tent? What he’s trying to say is that 600W blurple is only pulling 125w from the wall so that’s your actual wattage. That light might be underpowered for what you’re trying to do.

I have a closet . I thought it uses 125 watts, but puts out 600 watts. I heard good reviews that it's a good newbie light. I'm not trying to be mr professional and spend 800 for a grow set up. I will upgrade over time. First is to get a tent. I got the bare minimum for a successful grow. I spent 300 total, the light being 90 some.

So this confused me at first too when I was shopping. What it pulls from the wall is what you want to go by. That 600 isn’t really 600. But you can get QB LED either DIY kits or already assembled for relatively inexpensive. Obviously the more you spend the better quality you get but I am using a knockoff QB that has Samsung diodes and a good Meanwell driver for around $200ish shipped. To each his own don’t get me wrong, but you could power that space better if you wanted. Either way good luck my friend.

grow with what you can! but youll find that youll get much better feedback if you take pics with your light off. better color representation and some problems can hide more easily under the red/blue light from your fixture so inspect your plant under a white light regularly.
and start a RIU grow journal to track your grow and learning curve.
cheers!

I will in the future, just now I'm hoping to pull an ounce per plant, do you think that is achievable with this light?
