So my question is pretty simple but ill explain a little more. I have a 24"x18"x60" grow cabinet I made. I have 2 options for light and since I can't use both I need to choose one or the other. I have the Mars II 400 OR A Sun Systems 150 hps. Which do you guys think would be better for the situation? I've never had go results with leds in the past but I hear with the new 5w diodes on the Mars II their much better. But I would love to hear everyone's opinions if you got one?

I would go with a mars or viparspectra 600 or 800. I have no experience with led's yet, but I do know a 150W hps isn't going to be enough. Real wattage matters, the 600 or 800 led's are around 250-300W which hopefully will be good.. I just sprung for a Viparspectra 600 to test out. My main grow is with a 400W hps and 2 90W ufo led's. The hps does good, but I wish I had a 600W hps for my tent. I'm curious as to how well this cheap blurple 600 is going to do at 269W.

The 46$ 150watt HP's on Amazon I used in a 4x4 tent with a 600watt hps + a 300 watt mars and my plants were extremely happy. I also love using the 150 in a closet for vegging. So at that price buy two but it's a pretty good deal.

I already have the 150hps and mars II 400. I would love to use both but just don't have the room for it in my cab because it's only 24x18x60". I just wanted to see if anyone had any opinions on which would put perform the other.
