That's nor cheap, nor good. Your looking at at least 4 of those for a 5x5.
Ok well I would need about 4 1000s for my flower room 2 for my veg and one for my seed/clones. What would you recommend that’s not gonna put me in the hole $2000 lmao

Stick with your HPS if you can’t afford to upgrade to LED properly.
each 1000w HPS would require at least 450w of actual LED lighting (real lighting) to replace them.
with the ideal being 650w of LED per 1000w replacement.

This is replacing my 400w HPS
it’s a 300w @MarsHydrofactory FC3000 and retails around $300 in the USA and around £300 in the U.K.

I think a Fold 8 is running around $550 to $600. It's a good choice for a 5x5 if you want an LED and are on a budget. Otherwise, you can't beat HPS for starting cost. Don't mess with any weird LED configurations. Do your research and get something that people here actually recommend, then you'll have a light that will last for years and won't hold back your grows.
