I'm looking to buy:

Mars Ⅱ 400W Led Grow Light Veg Flowering Hydroponic 5W High Power 9Band Lamp

Will this veg 6 girls just as good as a 600 or 1000w MH? Trying to save energy with as much yield of course.

No it will not.

The actual power draw is 170w-200w. The best yields being put out are not much over 1g/w....so that being said if you were to pull of one of the best led grows to date and get 1.25g/w that would be 212g-250g. The real likely hood is that it will pull closer .75g/w, meaning 127g-150g.

If they are who you like, and are in your price range, then you need at least 600true watts to replace a 1000hps...450w to replace a 600hps.

Maybe I should have mentioned I will only be using it for vegging (4 to 6 weeks of vegging clones) then throw em under a 1000w HPS. So I totally left out a huge piece of info. What I really want to know is if this panel will VEG 6 girls as good as a 600/1000w MH. Hell, maybe the answer is still the same, hopefully not lol. Thank you.

Yep, that definitely changes the story...

It should be close. I would like a bit more wattage, but it's close if it actually pulls 200w.
