Is there any root booster that contain both ? Wanted to keep cost down on the first attempt. Was thinking of black gold organic potting soil ( seems to have lots of natural nutrients) and perlite to transplant from MG soil. Not sure if I want to or need to mess with cleaning the roots. The plant is a little over 3 weeks from seed


It was advertised as that. $50.00. Is it overkill or maybe raise the lighting. It's looking good now

If it was a $50 light that was advertised as 5000W then I think it’s safe to say it’s garbage. It would be far from overkill and probably isn’t strong enough to provide decent growth in veg, never mind when the plant goes into flower. Those two bulbs are probably doing more for the plants than that light. If money is a problem then you can get a Chinese COB LED light from Amazon for $100 that would work well for your tent dimensions. If money isn’t as much of a concern then I would look into a quantum board instead. Here’s a picture of the light I recommend for people on a really tight budget. It is advertised as “1500W” but it draws close to 300W.

If I'm going with all LED how many watts do I need ? If you figure. about 5000 watts LED is about 100 real watts. I heard you can mix cfl with LED lights?

Don’t confuse the “5000W” they told you that light was with “5000W LED”...that light isn’t 5000 watts of anything, it was straight up false advertising. That COB LED light I posted the picture of will be more than enough for your tent. I ran one of those in a 32” x 32” and my plants grew great in there. I currently run two of them in a 4x4, too. That light would give about 55W-60W/sqft in your 30” x 30” tent.” Which is more than enough.

Ok, so that listing didn't mention anything about how many watts that light draws, but I was able to find another listing that does, and that light only draw 100W (See below)

Feature afford price with energy-saving. Save 95% energy compared with HPS/HID.Beat HPS/HID and traditional LED Light.Covers a full 2' x 2'/4' x 4' ,easily replace a 5000W HPS or HID while consuming 100 watts of actual power.Suitable for 100*100*180cm/120*120*200cm grow tent(not included).

The claim that it will "easily replace a 5000W HPS or HID" is 1000% bullshit.

Would adding any other type of lighting like cfls help during the vegetation stage. It's looking ok with the 2 led floods and the Ebay light now but it's only a little over 3 weeks old

Any additional light could help. You don’t have to have the best equipment, you just need to give them enough light.
