thanks for the help everyone! I'm looking to get a 4x4, maybe a 5x5 tent and I'm trying to figure out what light would be good. or proper coverage area. what are some good brands? I do see a good variety of lights with all different price ranges. I have like 500-600$ for my light fixture if I can help it, but i am willing to spend more.

I do see that there isnt much price difference between the grow blu(240x3) and the kind (K3-L600)lights but im not sure if i want to run 500watts "at the wall" compared to kind's 320 "ATW". The Ebay Vipar brand is considerably cheaper giving 600watt power with 360watts "ATW"

thank you for the help and taking the time to respond! i ended up going with the grow blu (thank you tax return). with a three year warranty it sounds like the best bet

Friday I ordered Dutch Passion's feminised Dutch Cheese and Mazar. I read the little snippet that talks about the strain but im sure they are all set to look as nice as possible so i just kinda picked.

So are LEDs all about coverage? Because if you think about it they don't actually have a higher wattage, they have higher watts because they literally have more lights?  all the models are the same thing. just larger.  yeah I would like to eventually get another one. the site said it covered a 2x4 area so for my budget that's what I grabbed. I went all out and didn't spare many expenses with my setup so when it came time I grabbed the 700$ light
