Different cycles for different stages of growth?

That's a gimmick. The sun doesn't change in output, and the difference in spectral balance only shifts 1-2% in either direction when you get closer to the winter season. This is why the majority of LED panels suck, all gimmick, no actual scientific research.

300w would be about right for veg, you'd need a minimum of 5-600w tuned LED to match a 100w HPS in yield, and tuning LEDs to beam like an HPS is rather difficult.
