You need to be careful about the "Wattage".
Posted wattage and wattage that it pulls from the wall are two different things.
A "1000w" equivalent marketed LED would actually be like a 150w from the wall. LEDs should be referred to what they pull from the wall. A 300W LED could like a 4X4 space pretty easily, so that would be more than 1 plant.
A good starter light would be a Mars Hydro TS1000, they are about $150 US, and 150w of power. The umol/s is correctly advertised and their distances are accurate for their intensities.

you can get a 300 watt led for pretty cheap now day, around 65? they work good for one plant and are small, just make sure you hang the light at the right distance for the plants needs. or you get get a bit bigger depending on your budget. if you can spend 100 on a light you will have more options of course but that is with anything when you spend more money. hope this helps

Lighting cycle for VEG stage. Is 24x7 OK?Hi,
Should I use the VEG lights 24x7 from the time I plant my seed until it's ready to bloom, or would something like 18 hours on and 6 hours off make more sense? Is there a "best practice" for veg lighting? It has worked for my first 3 grows. VIPARSPECTRA 600W LED
Thanks,

Bad idea?Will a mars hydro TS1000 be too strong for a 60x60x140cm tent?
I have been using a TS600 and TS1000 in tandem in a tent 4x too big for the light level, I have been growing strong and tasty buds but with low yields so downsizing my tent size to maximise the light.Other. General questions
