Hi. I've been growing from clones since I first started 8 years ago. But now I've started germinating seeds. I've just germinated my first 4 and they are off to a good Start. I used my maxibright 660w pro on its lowest settings and got no stretch or stress. But now I'm going to purchase a small grow tent and a light so I can get my seeds germinated and vegging for the first couple of weeks while I'm flowering my other ones. Obviously to increase my turn over rate. I'm confused with which light to buy. I was favouring the the Migro Array 1. https://migrolight.com/products/migro-aray-1-seedling-grow-light im confident that this light will be great for the seeding phase but I am concerned that it won't be adequate for the first few weeks of vegging. Can any of you guys advise me please on this light or which light you recommend to achieve my goal?

The light size will depend on your tent size.

So what is your proposed tent size? That will be determined by how many plants you need to put in there and how long they will be in there.
 
A little piece of advise:

The fixture with active cooling and higher NA/(P.p) is better.

N: number of diods
A: area of the heat sink
P: true electrical wattage
p: price

NA/P estimates PPF.
 
I was working on my new LED fixture project today. The fixture i had made several years ago needs some improvements. It was 20cm×40cm, 630 umol/s, 273 watt. The new one is going to be 20cm×50cm, 440 umol/s, 150 watt and 800$. It is 30% more electrically efficient than previous one.

I told these because it may help you to have a better understanding how they work and what matters when you buy one.

Wow that looks like the flight path to blow up the death star. I use a T5 fluorescent or CFL's for seedlings. New born's need light too bit I would put them in a tanning bed on low. LOL
 
Quit playing with your toys Scotty! And beam my ass up!
