I would also suggest either building your own cob led or buying a pre assembled kit. Timber grow lights have good lights. I have a 300 watt kit from timber. I'm happy with the results. Very good on heat too. Like it's not even there.

Basically want to get the viparspectra 450w
Says its cover 3.5ftx3.5ft
My tent is 2ftx2ftx5ft

Would this be ok for 2 plants both cycles?

Oh yea that does look like a decent light for both cycles for your space. Would like to see a grow journal from this light to see how bud density and weight develops.

i have been researching led lighting for 5 days about 6 hours a day . this vipar spectra looks like its one of the best from the specks . i passed on it though . i found a different one half the price same specks . the vipar has some very good reviews with pictures . i wanted to get the 1200 watt . but its 400 so i have to go plan b got a http://www.ebay.com/itm/MEIZHI-Reflector-1200W-LED-Grow-Light-Full-Spectrum-5W-Hydroponics-Plants-Indoor-/232107259458?hash=item360aabb642:g:qtcAAOSwNRlYJDmq half the price . with zero reviews . i am currently starting to review this light on here . if you have to drop the ball now get the vipar . only thing i want to say about them they over estimate the coverage it can do . over rated . the one i posted same watts as the vipar 1200 says it compares to a 600 watt hps the vipar one says 1200 hps . so idk whats up with that .

I got a 600w hydro mars led. Alot of good reviews.

Does anyone know a solution for my tent vents, basically i have the vents open at the bottom but it lets out light into my bedroom, any solution for this?

there are a lot of pics on here people using the mars hydro and they look very good . some people dont know what the fuck there doing blame the light first . this is why i am testing a 220 possible total piece of shit or it will be just as good or better then kind led brands costing 9 times as much . we will see . dont worry if its a paper weight i will not feel bad ill post the reviews and i wont be buying a light for 1900 unless it was capable of giving sex ! insane high price not worth it
