If you've got the room, go for a 4x4 tent. You'll thank me later.

I actually already bought the growtent I linked to. It was a pain in the arse to assemble. I’m growing no more than four plants. Will it do?

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.
