how much light is needed ?
For that small of a grow, and looking for stealth, (Specially on the power meeter.) I'd go with LED. Our high quality hydroponic LED grow light products | Ecogroled 50 or 90w LED should suffice. I've got a 120w over a ruffly 5x5 area and it's over 3 feet away from the plants, and could suffer being a bit farther back (Need to lower my table some) since my plants simply arent stretching. Node spacing under my 400w MH was about 3/4" under the LED its more like 1/4" Freakin CRUSHING light!

Spensive too!On the cheap, get a 3-4 bulb bathroom light fixture like above the mirror, hang that over the grow, screw 3 "Y" splitters into each socket and use 27w CFL's (104w per socket) So it'll be 3-4x the power cost, but about 1/4 the cost for the light. Your choice. :stoned:
P.S. Not trying to spam any particular company for LED, just they are where I ordered from, and their tech guy/designer is a member here on Canna.com:hippy:canniwhatsis Reviewed by canniwhatsis on . how much light is needed ? my friend is doing a grow this winter in his closet, he is trying to use minimal ligh and power because the *power ranger* as he calls it comes and checkes the meter from time to time and he cant afford to get nailed with even a small grow.. i was told he will be growing an auto flower dwarf called AK 47 im sure i dont need to go in detail about what that is so moving on.. long story short he wants to grow 2 of these at a time and plans on getting over 20 grams per plant just for personal use..
