Hi guys this will be my first grow, ill be using soil to grow indicas in a 1m x 1m x 2m grow tent I can't figure out what size or make of led light to get me started. Once I've done a few ill upgrade but I need something that can get me going. Any help is much appreciated as I'm really nervous about led's capability to penetrate the canopy
looking for suitable led for 1m x 1m x 2m grow tent

It all depends on your budget. I am currently using 1 area 51 190 and I love it.. wish I had the money to buy more!

I would think about two of the Area51 RW-75 or 1 of the RW150.
I am waiting for two of the RW-75 myself.

or if your in EU the Hans panels, two of his new 80W would be great as well for your space

well actually I don't, I think HIDs are great grow lights, but so are LEDs, IMOO it all depend on your situation and goal`s
Etc
if you just want to grow a few plants in a small space and maybe live in a hot climate and don't like high power bill`s and heat prints and have the money to trow at LEDs they are perfect, if you want to grow 100ish of plants commercial and don't need to think much about safety and can control the heat, I would go HID for sure

next to no heat, don't count at the LEDs for a heat source, you be glad in the summer time, I am, even in Denmark a HID light can be too hot in the summer time, much more easy to warm the room at winter time then to cool it at summer time IME
and best strain I had to put me to sleep (also one of the main effects I use it for) is the LSD from Barney`s a bit triply effect as well, but damn, so potent that it put you right to sleep if you just smoke a bit too much, witch is`t much, as strong as VERY strong hash
here is a few pictures from one of the grows I had with LSD
and a link to the strain
http://en.seedfinder.eu/strain-info/LSD/Barneys_Farm/
I also had good experience with Skunk 1# (LSD is a cross between skunk1# and Maza)
and good luck with the Hans Panels, they are the best of the best in form of quality inside and prices is`t bad at all, and pretty local compared to Area-51 witch would cost a bit in Vat/Tax as well to have shipped to EU
the Hans panels is a bit small in size compared to many other panels, also why two 80W would be needed to cover your room but IME its way better to have multiply smaller panes then one big, as you cover the ground much better then with all the Watt concentrated in one panel
hint: no matter what kind of LEDs you get or for that matter any artificial light, but special LEDs and special them Hans panels as they run with out lenses, will do best with some kind of training, a Scrog work very well with LEDs but attest some LST and/or topping/FIM

if you want a bit more powerful LED panel (don't believe its necessary) you could also look in to this place
http://ledlightszone.eu/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=63
even more local for you (think they are located in Ireland) cost is a bit more and its more of a "standard" panel but still top quality parts and will for sure do the work, I don't believe one of there 233 £ panels will cover all of your sq meter, like the hans panels two would be needed to prober cover all of your ground, tho if money is tight it is allowed to start with one and upgrade down the line and one panel will for sure grow you two nice plant`s
