oh my... so much....
first what is the actual wall draw of those lights ? likely isn't what you think..
take the specs off the driver if they weren't provided.
next.. most seedlings do not require a pile of light at first.. but it has to be there.
a complete guess would be starting under the 600 watt.... probably good enough. impossible to tell without more info.
next have a look at the last line in my sig, in there you will find how to ask for grow support, and how to start a journal. get familiar with those and good luck.

Where do I find the draw? I have used the 600w before and got 350g off 4 autos. But was wondering if the 1000w would be better as my seedlings always stretch and sometimes fall over. They are a week old today they have stretched but not fallen this time.
draw will be printed on the driver.
lower the light if seedlings getting stretchy.
pics would help.
what are you running for light ? actually go through the how to ask for grow support and repost with the rest of the info

I have a 120x120x200 tent I have a 600w and a 1000w led. Will it be OK to start my seedlings off straight under the 1000w or should I start with the 600. Also as my seedlings always stretch and sometimes fall over. They are a week old today they have stretched but not fallen this time.

? It's a bossled 1000w used it for 4 grows now just wondering what one is best for the seedlings?
real 1000w led doesnt exist or atleast I didnt see them and I have seen a lot of led lights.
that's not a 600 watt. maybe a 100 - 150.
those specs on the light mean less than nothing.
ebay or amazon light ?
seedlings look ok. is the other light burple too ? maybe get it going.

Don't mind cost I will be checking it out. Il use both these lights then and purchase better one for next grow.
check out @Budget LED for quantum boards.
they have great spec boards at very competitive pricing. they easily match higher priced boards in performance.
they are also sponsors. link to them thru the site.
