is this light good enough to grow with?

I'm not sure what the wattage is on it but it's a 4' fluorescent and I heard those work well for growing. So am I better off growing it outside or will this work?

It doesn't matter whether you have that sorry light or 10,000w of MH/HPS, if you can grow outside, grow outside.

The sun is the sole epic growing lamp. This is not cannabis specific.

I have to disagree to be honest. I grew outdoors (both guerilla and controlled) for almost 15 years. Pests are more prevalent outdoors. Guerilla, you need to throw on animals (deer and rabbits especially) to the list, and those damn pesky helicocksuckers (as Bubbles would say). You also have to carry stuff sometimes a long way, need to be close to decent source of aqua, and places where you can go unnoticed digging holes and hiding dirt that you replace. This is difficult when each site has 30-50 plants.

However, you can have diversity outdoors; if you have a few spots that are good, it's unlikely that you'll lose them all. However, now you have to include travel and all the planning and secrecy that comes with that.

I prefer outdoor to be honest, and this year will be my first in many, but it does have its challenges ;)
