Still really haven't seen an impressive grow with led. I myself would be skeptical of them. Here is my opinion why. Well first like I said where are all the awesome journals with results? I thought that is was counted at the end of the day? The initial cost is crazy, but I guess if you have and you want to try go for it. I don't know how new of a technology this is in regards to the horticulture industry, sorry I don't care so I'm not looking. What I do know for sure I know from the aquarium industry. Whats the aquarium industry have to with this? Well I'm a reefer two-fold. Full blown reef aquarium here, nearly all the coral I keep contain a symbiotic algae. I run Metal halide. I have had some led moon light, guess what they weren't that cheap and about after a year there was a noticeable decrease in light intensity. Ok maybe they had cheap heat sinks or something, fine. About three years ago 4 and 6 foot led bars were introduced to the industry and basically they are/were (not sure they still make them something about patent infringement)marketed the with the same arguments I'm hearing here. If I remember correctly they started around 2500. I frequent a lot of marine forums and the same bickering went on there, one difference it quit a long time ago. No big claims being made by anyone that's not hocking them. As for the ten year claim on bulb life, do know anyone that has run a set for ten years, or have you yourself? If something does fail have you seen how expensive parts are, they aren't cheap and are you going to fix your problems? I just don't know, but like I said just my opinion and you know what they say, but please feel free to PROVE me wrong. Oh, by the way...

I'm thinking of setting up a grow room and only using those Timex "indiglo" watches. I figure if I nail about 2or 3 hundred on the walls ... I'll be smokin the sweet stuff.

and like i said earlier, he made a mistake using IR LED...its a waste of watts and should have just used a heater if things were too cold.

A friend of mine grew this "ice" strain. The lights are cool enough to go right on the plant.
