Are you growing in soil? If so...what type, if you know?

I understand and thank you for the info, I will keep this light for now and work on getting COB's for later use and use the LED for seedlings.Hey buddy....I don't want you to think we're baggin' on your light...because that is certainly not the case. That thing will totally grow some weed...and pretty good weed at that, probably. There is one thing I would like to teach you, though about LED manufacturers. Its all about marketing for them...they'll call it 600 watts...but the true wattage is measured at the wattage consumption, which for that light is 277 watts. I have a "1200" watt led....it pulls a little less than 600 at the wall....but its not the same as say, a 1000 watt (true watt) hps light or something.
I bet every body here has paid for something they weren't happy with, and we hate to see it happen with others. If at all possible, return that light, and buy a single autocob (exact same price as what you spent), and buy another one when you can, and so on. 4 of them in that tent will be freaking awesome, and will last you forever! And if growing isn't for you, I guarantee you will not have a problem selling them!
Like I said...we're just trying to help a brother out!
That is an excellent idea, my friend!
I have P&G organics potting soil (i could not afford fox farm soil) I know it is not the best but I am on a limited budget

For soil i prefer to be around 6.5 for the entirety of the grow.....I'm not familiar with that soil, so I can't offer any help with that. When you do save up for different soil....there are certainly better choices than fox farm for autos.
is a bit too hot for autos, which prefer a lighter nutrient regime.

Tru, I'd rather get 2 time 250 watts dual spec CFL for that price instead of a cheap active cooled 'throw'way' LED. Will be safe on the outcome and get your tent fully lit.
I have 10 seeds right now. I just need to get some grown for my wife as she really needs it. after this first grown I will be coming back and asking about better soil again thanks for the informationFor soil i prefer to be around 6.5 for the entirety of the grow.....I'm not familiar with that soil, so I can't offer any help with that.
