I thought you had an LED question?

 

[superbub52]

yea i did wanted to know casue from what ive read that the red spectrum was for flowering and the blue was for vegging but since this panel has both i was wondering how it works out

That thing is trash and you will be pissed that you wasted money on it........just a heads up lol

I didn't wanna tell him. A bunch of those grouped up helps in veg for side or supplemental lighting, however one of those is not going to produce any buds or a large plant.

lol yeah even then it's not worth it for the cost. I would rather get some shop lights haha.

interesting im what is i run these with sum cfl's ? would it even be worth it

 

[oJUICEBOXo]

Those panels in no way are worth trying for the money. Look into HID lighting like metal halide or high pressure sodiums. They work much better for the money. Shit T5's would be better than those panels, or just go straight CFL. What size grow space are you working with?

 

[superbub52]

I already have a box in operation but wanted to go bigger it will be 5 feet tall 5 wide by two and a half wide but plan to cut it in half and use half for veg and flower in the other maybe i can use cfls for veg and wanted to go with leds for flowering the halide bulbs may be too hot for ly space and will require some serious cooling

LED's suck for flowering get a 150 watt HPS

 

[superbub52]

Hmm Wat about heat issues would a
pc fan be able to control the heat that pushes out

For reference I had a Speedy Gonzales autoflower plant very close to one of these 14W LED pieces and well as everyone has already said they aren't worth a shit. After that failed experiment I bought a 150W HPS and a shit load of 105W CFLS. The difference is night and day.
