Changing over to led help!!

Hi guys iv decided to make the change to led lighting have been using a 400watt hps setup in my grow tent

Im a led newbie and iv purchased 2x 31cmx31cm 150watt led panels that promise to put out 400watts each they were faorly cheap. One problem is I brought them off aliexpress any one used Chinese led panels before ? The picture is the lightsame I brought hopefully I havn wasted my $$$

those are similar to the ones i started with...if u are growing for personal they will work well enough...in fact i still use them for cloning and seed starting...you wont spit pounds out but plenty of usable product...there is one problem i have noticed with leds...from area51 to mars...calcium deficiency springs up pretty regularly at least for me.

Ok I'll have 2 of these lights in a 1.2mx1.2mx2m grow tent not going for pounds but would hope for a good yeild. Do you think the 2 led panels will be better than my 400watt hps

IV just started growing with a mars 300 (150w) and the seedlings (11 days old) have yellow water leaves on the side that the light is shinning on them..
I'm gonna raise the light even high then the recommend veg height until I have more growth... They are seedlings after all. And all I can put the yellowness down to is the light, as its seems obvious enough...
IV got a mars 192 Reflector (400true watt) ready to go as well.

This growing with lights similar to yours

I ran LED's and was not liking the slow vertical so I left a 400 hps with the LEDs and got super growth 1 to 1-1/2 leaf sets a day. Grew me out of the space almost.

like Cx2H said, if you can add them with the 400hps you will be VERY pleased, providing airflow/temps can be maintained...you could probably even pull a dozen O's every 9 weeks and then with the larf and trim every 3 runs you could bubble bag and make some hash, of course I'm assuming you have veg space too...and speaking of said possible hash its got me filled with a billion stoner questions....so......veg space? / 1 harvest every 9ish weeks or perpetual? / strain? / medium/nutes/pots ? probably more but all the sudden I'm blank again...but I am having a deja vu moment..that seems like the path I took to keep my friends medicated and their "friends" broke...
