Hey well long story short starting to do my own seed breeding. Going to build a box that would be about 24-30inch for length and width and about 36 inches tall
With not knowing much about led wanted to see if anybody could give me any input on a good brand and size for that size box that won't burn the plants, also so I don't wast money on a piece if shit or something to big. Plus not sure if if there is a style of led better for flowering vs grow.dont want to go super crazy in expenses sense I'll only be putting small plant that will be mostly 24Oz cups to the max of 1 gallon size pot. And will only be used to breed seeds.doing this so I won't risk any pollen getting into my flower room

I think the XML 150 or the XTE 200 would cover that area well.

Umm,yah 500ish for one light is kinda insane for what I'm going to use it for....I was think maybe 50-75 max cause this is only a small basic setup that will Be used maybe 2-3 time a year if that. Plus can't afford thst cause I just bought a 48k btu ac system that was about 3500 not including cost of install.for my new grow and flower room. And about 3k to have all the electrical work done. So just want to go bare bone basic that will just get buy for the time being
