Wut up! California lightworks..thanks for the chance to run thise LED! Hoping to replace the 600HPS currently.. Currently got 4 cuts ready to go, could not wait for the rest of the equipment so i put the light in the closet just for a couple days
The setup : Strain : SureFire seeds "FireStarter" <------ FRAWWST Monster, for those who followed that grow on other forums Medium; coco mixture with perlite Bucket: currently in plastic cups then 1 gal geo pots and 3 gal geos once in bloom Watering: Blumat auto water system..( The Shit)!!! time saver Feed; botanicare, AN, and grat white
More than one grower here has said that they feel that the SS is similar to a 600w HPS so, if that's your goal, you might be able to reach it. Hopefully you'll be able to pull off that 1g/w mark that HID growers aim for. Automation is a good thing.

I can only see 4 plants, how tall are you going to veg them before switching to flower? Planning on topping/training or just letting it go natural?

Interesting, I hope they don't outgrow their space, 1 light only covers so much area.
I'm not familiar with the strain... *shrug*

This is just theory and its a lil late anyway but current feedback would tend to suggest that led's lack enough intensity at this pint to penetrate a five foot plant which you may theoretically end up with if u wait til 24-30". On another note though I would love to see how it turns out and you seem to have a decent grasp on the basics at least so I'm excited to see how it goes!
I agree, LED doesn't penetrate well but the SS has a better chance at taller plants with it's 5w diodes. Personally I wouldn't go above 12-18" with LED but the OP said he'd flip them early if they got out of hand...
