Question about which lights to use.

Hello, everyone!

I will be growing in this (http://www.amazon.com/Apollo-Horticulture-Hydroponic-Indoor-Growing/dp/B00H9O6UJ0/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1459180021&sr=8-6&keywords=apollo+grow) for my first time, and I was wondering if using LEDs or MH/HPSs would be better.

I feel like the LEDs may be better in that setup, just because of the built in fans and ease of setting up. The question then is which LEDs should I use? I was looking at these (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NTBS91Y?psc=1#Ask) but I'm not sure if they're big enough.

Thanks for the help!

That P1200 looks tits keep us posted it sounds great, I am interested in how it works to. may be my next light if all works out for you. I am running 3 600 hps they seem to work great for me but i have been thinking about trying some LEDs out so keep us posted I am sure what ever you choose will be okay. Myself I would go with the 1200. Good Luck Like I said Keep us posted on your grow. Thanks and good luck. Happy grow

I wouldn't waste my money on that light. Post over in the LED section, they're awesome and could help you out a lot. I think you'd be able to find something that would be a better value for your money. The tents cool though

If you don't have issues like heat, power and head space you might like a 1000 watt HPS MH

To fill that tent with LED that are worth the investment you'll be spending $2000 on LED's

Is $2000 in your budget? If not HPS

like grumpy toker says HPS are much cheaper to buy, but may be more expensive in the long run. go to the LED lights section and see what they are saying about the subject.
