And now I bought 5 olive seeds and 3 tomato seeds. because of there dont have enough sunshine so I am going to buy LED grow light to help them grow , But I have not idea that how many light I need to buy, Now , I state my space size :
It is about 30 square meters, almost dark, only one with a 14-inch laptop a large window and a door(Actually ,I don't want to talk about this, I just think this space have a lil bit funny,lmao) :mrgreen:

Typically you will shoot for a certain watt per sq ft of the desired grow area. It varies depending on light type and quality of light. That light looks like pure trash... no offense. Leds are no longer blue and purple diodes... rather chip on board or COB.
I recommend you look at timber grow lights instead. Google it, thank me later. Yes they are a little more pricey than a cheap Chinese blurple led. But the quality of light can't be beat. They have recommended grow areas for each light, and they are plug and play. Not to mention dimmable.
Steer clear from Amazon lights... trust me. Been there done that

Not a professional opinion but it is an opinion....

The LED you find on amazon you can usually get cheaper going right to the manufacturer, BUT AS RECOMMENDED; STAY AWAY FROM AMAZON, and most Blurple LED.

The more newer LED are the Cobs and Quantum boards these are like DIY, they're expensive however. You could be looking at 500$ for a 300watt output..

Honestly your best to still invest in one of those MH & HPS lights, depending on your wattage and space size you could maybe drop as far as T5 light, good for the smaller plants, once they get to big you'll still want those bigger lights so they penetrate the whole canopy

Thank you ,Thank you for your suggestions , I totally agree your views. Exactly , The cob light will be better than these Chinese cheap led light, but I found cob from the store , they have COB light , can u help me check it , I never have used COB, I used full spectrum led light and panel light. lol

Thanks for your opinions, That's would be better if I can DIY like you , But it a giant project for me ,lol, But I think I can use the cheap led to help my seeds grow first , and then I use the COB , but I will buy it :lol:
