Great, thanks jackmc and Bilbo! I have been reading on this site for sometime now and your previous posting have been of help to me as well, great to have the AFN community. Hope to make a decision and order a light today, 5 NL and 5 Blue Mystic should be arriving anyday...
Lighting What size led do I need?

Nice thing about the reflector is you can lower the intensity for veg, allowing your plants to stretch a little and also saving some electricty, then pump it up for flower to full strength. For a 5x5 area I would definitely go with 2 lights, the you can angle them slightly to get better penetration and also if one dies, you arent SOL. Consider 2 mars reflector 144*3watt. Cost will be around 500, depending where you shop. Make sure you purchase from a legit seller so you get the 3 year warranty. Another consideration would be the cidly apollo 10's, 2 of them would cover that space well and would run you around $600, probably a little better light, being modular and allowing you to customize your spectrum at no additional charge.
I'm leaning toward the Mars Hydro old style 300 (100X3). They are selling dirt cheap right now, and I think it would be a great way to dip into led. Just looking to get some more solid nugs compared to the t5.
I'm thinking the 100x3 would be a good bet for me as well but without the bloom booster of the reflector series I'm not sure it would be that good of a bet but I'm not an led expert so that's why I am here
It just dawned on me today popping some seeds it's going to be mid may before they finish
and I hope I can keep them cool enough by then running my 600 watt hps

Mars has a sales representative here on AFN with her own Mars Hydro thread. If you go with Mars get a price through her, sometimes a few bucks cheaper than on their website and you've established a relationship with someone directly from the company. Nice to have a go to person. Here's a link if you haven't seen it. Warranty from Mars is 3 years. On Ebay 1 year.
