Not sure but I'm pretty sure if your going to use led's you need a mixture of red and blue spectrum. Probably better off with a t-5 with 6500k bulbs get a 4ft with atleast 4 bulbs equals like 238watts or so.

i agree LED's is a whole different road :) it even says on the site Blue's are for veg, so u'd need two red ones too...

That's not what I'm saying. I'm ONLY talking about the veg room, forget about flowering right now.

(I'm trying to setup a multi stage grow area with different spectrums and lights per certain parts of the plants life cycle. It's hard to explain, I'll have a log when its all set up)

I'd stay far away from any of those types of lights. A good LED panel will be running 2 and 3w chips at a minimum of 1w each. That panel has 225 diodes running at 0.08w each for 18w total. It might grow two decent leaf sets on one plant directly below it but that's about it. And mixed spectrum is best for all stages of growth.

Thank you! That's exactly what I was looking for!

So maybe I'll just get a blend spectrum led, for both veg and flower, with blue boosters for veg, and red boosters for flowering.
