I've been setting up a veg tent for seedlings and Clones over the past month. I was going to go with T5 fixtures until I came across this T5 alternative. 200 watt LED fixtures. I was skeptical at first as I could not find much info on these lights. I went ahead a pulled the trigger on two fixtures and decided to try it out on some cucumber seedlings here are the results:

Not sure how will the light will perform for Cannabis but will be doing a trail run as soon as I can get these cucumbers out side. Anybody else have any experience with this light?

Looks like it will grow! How long from planting cucumber seeds until picture? I believe the main goal is to get higher on the spectrum with more blue for veg. A lot of led's for veg are around 4k.

15 days from breaking the soil. 3 Days to germinate with heat mat set to 80. Below is a picture 40 days old just before I put them outside.

Cucumber's look great! I bet that cannabis will have no issues vegging under that light. I used a pair of cheap 5000k or 6000k shop lights that were only 50 watts each and my plants cannabis and now veggie starts have been more than happy.
