No mate.

Just get a 1000w hps unless you want a good LED that costs $800 +

That’s the only lights available in the market. x2 KING 1000w led is same priced as the available iPower 1000 hps.

Where are you located? I can't imagine the King 1000w LED is the only option you have. And it's only a 185W light like most of the blurple trash on Amazon. If you have the budget, I can recommend several terrific LED fixtures, but they're expensive. Otherwise, this

looks like the right deal for you.

No... that light is not suitable for that space. Yes the Mars hydronine is a billion times better. A little small for that space but it will do. Check out my grow journal... it's a 5x5. Best off with 4 plants

That looks wonderful. I see you’re using LED’s and the other 2 are hps?

I didn’t know 4 plants would look that beautiful and big. I might choose to plant 5 instead of 4.

how about MARS HYDRO TS 3000w? Is it good enough?

Forget what I said. Which would you choose for your 5x5:
-
VIPARSPECTRA VT1350 Timer Control 1350W Dimmable 12-Band Full Spectrum with VEG/BLOOM


Or

-
MARS HYDRO TS 3000W LED Grow Light

The Viparspectra is only a 280W light and way under powered for a 5x5.

In the "ready to wear" off the shelf moderately priced LED lights, your best choice for a 5x5 is

I found SF-4000 here for 850$. However, I can buy x2 SF-2000 for 300$. What do you think of having 2 sf-2000 in my 5x5x8? I think it’s possible since each light will be 2ft.

If you are looking to light up a 5x5 with LED, expect to spend at least $1000. All the cheap led ratings are FAKE. Sure a "1000w" burple led for 50 bucks off ebay might put off as much light as a 1000w edenpure electric heater. LOL.
