Hi All, this is my first post, I have been using HPS lights for a number of years with an Aeroponic setup,I am keen to go LED... anyone got any recommendations? I see a lot about different light wavelengths and colour ratios, is there any scientific conclusion. I have just a 1mx1m box, what is an appropriate power (output power I guess?)
Thanks man
recommendations?

Welcome to the forums!
I guess it depends on what you're growing but, for cannabis, I'd want 50+ watts per square feet (w/sqft) so with your 1mX1m area you'd have about 9 sqft needing more than 450w (actual draw) or else potential results could suffer.
