A Phriend here at Yahooka suggested I post some questions I asked of her to seek the collective wisdom of the group.

I have been reading about the benefits of LED lights (low heat, focused light spectrums specific to growing) so I bought a used 45 watt LED panel. The manufacturer claims it produces the equivalent of a 250 watt HID.

My questions. Is this alone a strong enough light source for seedling through harvest? Despite what the LED manufactures say, is this light spectrum sufficient, or should I supplement this with CFLs on the sides or top? Lastly, can anyone recommend a pot strain that would be best to help alleviate my spinal neck pain and migraine headaches but not put me to sleep (I know kush works, but it puts me into couch lock)?

Thanks in advance for the help. Peace of God to you all.
