Just get some hlg lights. Amazing... bare in mind that you'll need to run your room warmer. If your in colder place then cmh is actually better than led
1.8m x 2 meters length and budget maybe 300 upwards
I’m over in the uk so is kinda cold atm and I’m kinda new to all this with knowing what things are called and stuff what is a hlg light or a cmh??
That's 3.6 square meters so you need 1200+ watts! You can't come anywhere near lighting that with any kind of led for 300.

Dug123 U.K. here too bud.
New to this site mate but looooooong time grower....
I bought L.E.D. light 3000w Bestva 2 months ago for a change, found this only useful for mid growth as you have to hang them 4 ft away until you have at least 3 sets of true leaf coming through. All's it was doing that far away was burning leccy but as the growth of the plants went on it done it's job through veg but when it came to flowering.....Geeez what can I say to be polite about this L.E.D.??, if you want fluff an I mean fluff get an L.E.D. light.
If you want solid, resin coated rock hard weighty buds, High pressure sodium is the way to go. 400w or 600w depending on your size available.
I was going to get fluff from my 3000w L.E.D., so decided to go back to my 600w high pressure sodium to save this crop. So glad I switched back. People have there opinion but mine is 600w high pressure sodium is ideal for a 5ft x 5ft tent and the best around. Hands down!.
Been working for me for years, you can get a 600w kit for about £90 maybe less so good luck mate what ever road you go down.

The cmh is your cheapest choice inwoukd go for... but I would choose the diabolo if I could. You will bot regret it. These boards geow solid buds
Do t listen to this. Don't buy coloured led lights... you want white light. Then blurple or colours leds are just OK. They typically create more heat. You get what you pay for

I've had excellent results using several 300w LED multi-spectrum lamps. I usually have two or three op top and have at least two side lighting.
Growing in DWC I've never had a problem with heat nor skinny buds. I look for those 300w LEDs that consume at least 125w to 140w. They are cheap, usually around 50 bucks. You could get 6 of these for $300 and I can assure you it's plenty of light.

Giixer sells QBs. Also the only "blurple" they sell isn't purple. Its red as fuck. How can you knock something when you have no experience with the specific brand. I have 2 giixer QB and another giixer sunlight spectrum LED along with a MH QB and a hortibloom COB LED.
Giixer is low price and high quality.
