    Default 50w full spectrum led is enough to grow a plant?

    I have an 50w full spectrum cob led in my pc case, I use an heatpiped cpu cooler to cool it. What do you think is it will be enough my plant whole life or its unhealthily little/weak?

    That's more than enough for pc case

    You will might struggle with the 150+BTU per hour of heat you need to remove, if your light draws 50w from the wall

    It won't be a stealth grow by any means

    Hi mate, I'm putting together a PC grow box as well here - I ultimately decided against a COB because the intensity of the light means most growers have problems when plants grow up close to them. You might find you have problems not with the light being underpowered but with light burn in a small space. I went with Samsung strips instead myself as more sources of light means I can spread it more evenly through the case. Interested to see how you get on though - I'm not saying I necessarily made the right decision!

    Are you talking about the 3 $ cobs from aliexpress ? Curious myself about those, but seems to good to be true.
    Cheers
