Honest mistake that most everyone has made in some form or fashion. Simple inexperience. At least you learned from it. I'll be honest with you, I would highly recommend one of the spyder farmer qb style lights. Already built for you, cheap in the world of lights, and pound for pound will kill any blurple from Amazon at the same or more price. Look em up and save up. Best move you can make. Unless you're a diy guy, then by all means build you a quantum board setup. That and some reflective material and you're on your way. Good luck to you, hit me up if you ever have any questions or need some help. I love talking this stuff.

Keep that light for the mother. It would be perfect for it.

As for recommendations I like the hlg quantum boards but if you asking about Amazon. This light would kill a 2x2

No no... You don't need and tbh if a light has a veg and bloom switch that's the first indication you don't want it.

This is the light I use.

Correct, you don't need that feature, is worthless. Just a gimmick. Think about the power you are running now, use those buttons and you cut that little wattage in half.

In all honesty, I also began LED's with Meizhi Burples. They grew good weed, but the white light grow way better weed; so I sold my Meizhi(s) off on Ebay while the getting was good. My 1st "white" light was a Nextlight Mini that cost a boatload, and was the model that HLG used to knock off..the rest is history.

I still have a high end burple in the center of 2x Kingbrites (Unitfarm UFO80 with Cree chips). It was a free light for testing and it does seem to add something to the grow. It only draws 175 watts and Unitfarm does not overstate the power either. (I check everything with a kill-o-watt meter ($21usd) you can see the burple tones in this shot)

I got lucky and for whatever reason I went the COB route. You can dive.down the rabbit hole on Amazon looking at lights. Also on Alibaba, they have QB's and COB lights at good prices. They can be hard to deal with at times. Their QB are much cheaper than HLG for basicly the same thing.

There are many threads on the farm discussing light in great detail! All I can say for sure is at some level there is a light for every condition. I have 3 grows under my belt and am ready for a better light for sure! ( I use 2 recordence lights at about 500 true watts ) sorry side tracked,
Really what I wanna say is results don’t lie look at some of these guys pulls with LED ! Buzzer has great hail there! And there are countless others here at the farm that get exceptional quality and quantity from led lighting ! It’s just different than what your used to! May b you don’t really understand the way they work?
In the end use what works for you!! Happy gardening
