New Grower New Member, First Time Grower, Did I Buy To Much?!?!

By the way I bought all of my lumigrow Pro 325s off of eBay used anywhere from $300 to $500 a piece.

You can grow in the temperatures that you have some strains will be better than others and the yields won't be as good as if you had a perfect environment. But you can still get production and then when winter time comes you've got the setup to just kill it I mean you wouldn't even have to grow in the summer anymore

To late to return the hoods unfortunately. They actually came broken from amazon and I had to use high temp caulk to fix them. I'm assuming two of those leds would cost more than one of what I already have?

So two of these would be enough for my 5x9?

I prefer one light for a 3x3 tent, but I've been growing on an eight foot long 40" wide table with there lights.
Technically they light a 4x4 area, but I've always gone for smaller footprints with every light I've owned.

There are a lot of guys here that make their own LED lights using cob chips, we have a whole section on how to do exactly that. That would allow you to choose something that would light exactly your space I can't tell you so much about the heat you have to talk with one of the guys in that section. But I can tell you everybody that is switched from hid to a good quality LED or even a home-built cop light is happier switch.

My first instinct was to go with led honestly. Hid is just so common and proven that I figured it was the safest bet. If I understood this cob stuff I would just buy them at this point actually.

I appreciate the input @jingo!

You intake should be twice the size of your exhaust. Is the exhaust from the tent exiting into the room or out of the room the tent is in? You should be able to make this setup work.
Cobs give you a lot more usable light than HID's, better spectrum, more efficient and less heat. I'm using 300 watts worth of cobs that replaced a 600 watt hps per 4 x 4. Check my link below for my cob lights

Exhausting out of the room the tent is in

No link on my end @iampepe. I looked up the cob build you did and I have no idea how you did any of that lol. I wish I did because it looks sweet and I want two ASAP! Awesome work my dude, way above my level though.
