From my findings, they have no interest in shipping to canada
During checkout there's a point where you have to choose international shipping. The pain is that a lot of their products can't be sold in other countries so trying to go back and forth to figure it all out can be quite a hassle.

If i was to do a planter thay was 3x3
For 9sqft.

Is that really 254 liters of soil?
Or something like 75?

Im having trouble finding a conversion calculator to use.

You can find find conversion tables by just googling your question. In your case you need a third value. You have a length x width but you need depth.

Is it normal for these low frequency square wave ballast to show bars in pictures on a camera like traditional hid?

I thought that was a sign of less efficiency because of the lights actually flickering at a super high speed and that these lec's aren't suppose to do that. I bought a couple and mine are showing that so I'm just wondering if maybe they're faulty or false advertisement

Standard magnetic ballasts run at 60 hertz. Hertz is cycles per second. Digital ballasts run over 100 hertz.

No, that's a sign your ballasts aren't square wave units. The manufacturer cheaped out and you ended up with a less efficient system.

The flicker is a hallmark of a sinewave output, where square wave won't have the dark bars.

Okay that makes since. And even so they are still more efficient than a standard hps right?
I'm not sure about how they compare as far as raw light output. I think the biggest difference is in the quality of the spectrum.

The far red can help through the Emerson effect and even UV can increase growth rates on top of increasing potency by helping convert cbg into thc and cbd and increasing terpenes.

Eye Hortilux has a side by side comparison of seedlings started under their UV t5's and regular ones that make a strong case for using at least some UV in all stages of growth.

Well, full disclosure, I don't actually have any direct experience with lec. These pics,show the difference between my old sun systems magnetic ballasts and the smaller, less distinguishable pulses after switching to the Solistek Digital Matrix. I was making the mistake of assuming that the lec ballasts would have the same affect.
