I'm looking to get a light for a 2x3 tent because all I have right now are two 300 watt burples. I'm planning to just grow one plant at a time. I was going to get the 260w v1 kit from hlg because it was on sale but it sold out. Would this light work well for me? https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Kingbrite-3500K-Samsung-lm301b-Quantum-led_60804816911.html?spm=a2700.galleryofferlist.0.0.c5905cf1Jlpfc5

I read not to use epistar but I'm not sure I understand how much ppf or umol are needed. Does that look like enough? I was told by others it would work well for me.

KingBrite also sells boards with Cree 660nm reds. Just get that model. And yes that is MORE than enough for a 2x3. You'll want to dim it through the entire veg stage. I'm not sure 240w in 6sq ft (40w per sq ft) can be handled by a plant. You'll have to play with it and see. But that's why dimming is so wonderful. The powers there IF you need it!
