I have a chance to get a ufo or panel led for a reeeeeally cheap price, my question which one should i get and why and when should i use it during my growing process. a 90watt ufo led, or a 225 led panel. and since i know nothing about led lights when should i use them in the beggining or, and can i use it with my 800watt hps light

Get the highest wattage you can.
The pannel that i saw and researched looks like it can be used for both veg and flower because of the spectrum they produce.
You wont have to change a bulb ever again, your electric bill will be a fraction of what it would be if you used CFLs or HIDs, and the heat output is nothing compared to the HIDs.
I kick myself because i just bought a bunch of new CFLs. There is a guy who posted his experience with LEDs from start to finish and man, had i read that before i went shopping, i would have gotten LEDs.

The 225 is a novelty item. It will grow seedlings but once you start vegging, and flowering, you want intensity. The 90w UFO will work, the 14w 225 LED wont.

They call it a "225 LED" panel because if they called it 14w LED panel, it wouldn't sell. 225 is a bigger number, so thats what they use. Its not 225w, its 14w. Proper lighting is 3 things: the right Spectrum, intensity, and duration. The 14w led panel doesn't have the right intensity.
The 90w LED ufo will light a crop from start to finish. It has poor canopy penetration and low coverage area, when compared to a HPS, but it will work. I use it on a small grow with descent results. (2 by 2)
