I planted my plant outdoors in like May. I brought it indoors in late September. I’ve had the lamp on it since then and haven’t noticed any growth. Any lights you’d go with? I’m only looking to grow a plant maybe as many as three. I’m not trying to grow a big ‘ol farm. Just for fun.

You’re in luck with all of the Black Friday sales this week. I just finished doing my share of LED research but I don’t know enough to recommend a specific lamp with enough data to back up my recommendation. But if I can guide your research, I’d start by looking at some of the reputable brands out there instead of these anonymous Amazon/Ebay brands that seem to promise more light output than they deliver.

A few reputable entry level brands that come to mind (in no particular order) include AC Infinity, Spider Farmer, ViparSpectra, Vivosun, Mars Hydro). Apologies if I missed anyone. Youtube videos by Migro and CocoforCannabis also provide some excellent LED comparisons. You should be able to get a great lamp designed for a 2x2 for under $100 this holiday.

While I am not an expert on light spectrum, I can say that I was impressed with the quality feel of the AC Infinity T22 and the ViparSpectra XS1500 I used last year. Both are designed for 2’x2’ tents. I would expect similar quality from any of these manufacturers but it’s definitely worth reading and watching more current reviews since technology has changed since I bought those.

Good luck…hope that at least gets you started with your research.
 
Not really on much of a budget. But if I can save some money that would be great. My max for lighting is $200.

I found these on Amazon.
Which would you go with?

GROWING LAMPS

Or if you have any other recommendations?
I like a lot of wattage…..maybe this will help.

The LED boys will chime in. I'm still a neanderthal and use MH/HPS. If I was just starting out, I'd go LED.
 
40 watts per square foot is considered standard for led's. Less wattage will equal less yield and buds that don't quite finish. More wattage won't get you much more than a bigger electric bill..
