Hello, I am setting up my 1st grow room and have ordered a few rolls of this LED light strip. I will cut them down to strips and use them as light source for cloning and the grow room. Are they suitable? I am setting a 4 site recirculating DWC system.

For starting seeds, maybe. Beyond that you may be extremely disappointed.

What would you recommend for a 4 site DWC grow room?

Or google LEDgardener strip builds.
I wouldn't want to use those 4:1 red/blue leds even for seeds tbh. You could get a couple of 2ft bridgelux EB strips for a few quid and if you chose right use an old pc power supply.

8x4 grow space actually. I am planning to setup 4 site grow space and use both white LEDs and the LED strips.

8x4x35=$1120, at least, for a proper DIY led light.

What climate zone do you live in and what is your electric cost per kwh?
