for 5x5 i would at the minimum do 2 150w LED bars and a 600w hps....use the LED only in veg and when you flip to flower you could cut the HPS to 8 hours during middle the flower cycle and have the LEDS running for 12hours to help minimize the power spike and keep the benefits of using the HPS :thumbsup:
