I’m sorry, man, but you have a lot of research you need to do before you buy anything. I laid out what you need in your other post but you seem to refuse to accept what is needed for the plants to grow. Like I said in your other post...if you don’t want to spend the money to do it even close to properly then wait for the outdoor season and grow outside. Plants don’t care about how much money we have to spend. They have a bare minimum requirement of light unless you want to grow a weed houseplant that won’t produce anything worthwhile of consumption.

This light will get you to just after seedling stage. I use a 24w T5 for seedlings/clones when I need to. It works for 4 seedlings.
Dude you’d need at least 4 of those to grow one plant due to the lack of light penetration and wattage.
That light will only penetrate around 3-4” of plant growth. If you’re lucky.
I’m with the others. If you’re not prepared to give the best light for your area then don’t bother and wait for outdoor season.

No one is saying you need to lay down $$$’s for your lighting but at least listen to the wealth of knowledge on this site.
You can stealth grow properly. I know I’ve set one up in a cupboard in a friends house.
He used a 125w CFL 6400k for veg and a 2700k for flowering.
He grew 4 lollipop clones and gained around 2 ounces of bud from those 4.
It was light tight. Smell Proof and you wouldn’t have known it was there unless you knew.
He utilised a small 4” centrifugal fan that he connected to a dimmer switch and blew his exhaust through a filter rather than sucking through the filter.
All exhaust air from this area went up into the attic space above the cupboard all out of sight.
We used a small 12v PC fan inside for air circulation.

That’s what my mate was using with that style reflector.
We picked his up at a local grow shop and it was £25 for the lamp and I gave him the reflector.
