Testing [cree Ml-e] In Veg

[5ecret 5quirrel]

Purchased 2 CREE ML-E LEDs to veg in a 1.5 x 1.5m

3 strips and ballast cost usd$6.99

I'm getting a bit tired of wasting my cxb's on vegging.
Anyone with any experience with these?

looks good. 15-25w/sf works great for veg. the higher the spectrum the better 6500k better, I add more blue to 5000k to create the same effect.
