QBs and COBs, all the way.

2 x qb 320 kits would probably be great
But I'd suggest 3x 260 xl kits for a 5x5.
Not sure if that extra bit is in your budget right now or not, but the spread would be better at the same intensity.

I'd go with HLG just because their literature is clear about exactly what you are getting. "GS1 WIDEBAND SPECTRUM TECHNOLOGYlets your plants “see” and soak in what traditional LEDs can’t give them:a scientific nutrient blend through spectral light wavelengths. "
IMO, gobbledygook, Show us what it is. Might be great but I know the HLG will have lm301b's in it.

Not a whole lot to be honest, I've grown outdoors but this will be my first indoor (coco)

Thanks everybody for your help! I ended up going with the electric skys because I'm in a 240v country and didn't want to have to deal with transformers. I really was torn between the hlgs and will probably get those when I get to the point of having both veg and flower tents

The HLG drivers for the qbs can be ran in 240v...and they also have universal connectors generally for international customers. Just saying

They're pretty badass and I also have a kind led which is a great light but the electric sky blows it away I've started a YouTube channel so I can compare results between lights and let people see for themselves. I'll have some real comparisons uploaded soon. But totally happy with these electric sky lights. I've spoke with the guy that designed these lights and he's a super nice guy with awesome customer service.

What price did you spend on them?

Definitely more than the hlgs lol. It's cool, I'm pumped on 'em

Yeah, it's more just your power range is at around 24w a sqft. It might have been better to bring it up earlier but the power from my earlier suggestion (3hlg 260 kits) would have given you 780 total watts at max. Or 32ish a sq ft. I'm just not entirely sure only 2 units would put you exactly where you want for flower in a 5x5 unless you are doing a 4x4 canopy in the 5x5.
You might need an extra 200w at some point if you run into issues of not enough light.
