They are growing slowly because they don’t have enough proper lighting. Those LEDs are only good for seedlings and then they don’t have enough to get a plant through veg and definitely not enough to flower with

Agree, lighting is inadequate.

What kind of wattage do I need? I’m not able to have a hanging light

Suggestions on wattage and or a light set up. Not able to have hanging lights

Ideal lighting would be 50 watts per sq. ft. I expect the light you have isn’t actually any more than 15 or 20 true watts. These “burple” lights are, unfortunately, misrepresented.

You will really struggle to flower a plant with that kind of lighting. I don’t know what to recommend that doesn’t “hang.”

I’m not sure what there is that doesn’t hang… maybe @dbrn32 or @Covertgrower know of something I don’t

I use the adjustable yo yo’s to hold my light up. My infinity fan is the only thing keeping me from going any higher.

Why are you not able to hang your light? Maybe start a journal or something and explain your space and situation so we can get better idea of what you’re working with. Pictures always help too.

Get a light and train plant to stay low aka LST. These plants are very resilient plants

Thank you. It’s LBW as the brand image

@dbrn32 light man

That looks good for early veg. He will guide ya im sure. Need more lums for later veg and bloom forsure

I still don’t have any idea what grow space is, or anything like that. The fact that it’s a rental and space is limited gives no explanation as to why overhead lighting can’t be used either. Do we have a grow tent, box, closet, or what here? How big is it? Or, is the goal here to try and grow weed on an end table in the corner of a living room?

Easy solution is to build a gantry out of 2x4’s and hang a 600 watt hps rig from it.

I look that light up. I think ur going to have to do some research. Look at the grow bible by Robert Bergman. It will teach you step by step also look at pot for a pot kit. It will set you up. All you need is a small grow tent it all preferences. How big or small you want your plants size depends on you with fem or reg seed. Get a whole grow kit set up online also. I just advise doing alittle research. Good luck stay the course.
