Starting off indoor

I’m thinking of starting my grow indoor for a couple of months before the outdoor season here in aus , my question is , can I use standard Fluro lights or would the plants grow out better if I used 150w full spectrum led,s ,cheers j

The more wattage the better, and depending what your growing autoflower vs photoperiod.

Use LED then. Fluorescent is great for the first couple of weeks. After that they’re not a lot of good. I know there’s people who do full grows under them but check out how they do it. A whole lot of bulbs.

Yeah I'm old school I use MH for veg, then switch HPS for flower, havent experimented with LED but heard good things about them.

Thanks for the replies team,I think I’ll buy the 150w full spectrum led,s on eBay, 3 of them should do only about 40 bucks each

If you want to go with LED you should get good ones. They won't be cheap.

Quantum boards are good, I like cob setups like Timber makes. You can build them cheaper if you want, cobkits.com

I have a cob setup in a tent and it's doing good, my first run with it. Here is a few shots at day 52 of 12/12.

Also, if this is your first indoor grow be prepared to cool the space and control humidity. Happy growing!

We use both fluorescent and led to give our plants a jump before we throw them outside. Partially because we already had a bunch of fluorescent and partially because we have too many girls to fit under the one led we have. We run a Kind XL1000 which is nice because you can adjust the intensity. The first time we used it a couple years ago we set it on 100% and nearly fried all the ones under it. oops.. Best of luck on your grow
