Theyre eatin it up...I can see and tell how much more powerful it is than the cfls n not only that just how much easier it makes things.
I really think even if I had a room to work w id go w these..it puts off like zero heat draws like 92watts of power n the no bulb replacement is very attractive as well....n man that lites cool lookin...ha...I dont mind havin the closet door open now its not like havin this bright blinding lite comin ouuta there...the way it directs it lite and the spectrum make it not bad at all....

Yeah even at 160w like mine, the light foot print is very precise. Unlike the 400w MH/HPS HID that blasted light in every direction. I'd open my closet at night and it would light up half the house like ET was visiting or something. Cost of acquisition is higher on Led than HID, but in long run, I believe they are a more efficient way to grow 1 to 4 plants in a small grow environment.

Yeah, my closet runs about 73 degrees all the time. Started this summer at 85 degrees and opted for LED to overcome the heat issue. It was an immediate fix and I can grow in the summer without a problem. With 105 degree temps outside, I couldn't justify the expense for air conditioning being sucked through my HID cool tube and into the attic.

Growing is all about tweaking things until you're satisfied. I'm pretty much there now and can grow 3/4 lb. in my 2' X 3' grow with little operational cost.

Agreed......if it doesn't make a substantial difference in weight,because that's what we all want in the end.....then its just not worth the money/time/effort.Especially when just switching whatever light source you have to 12/12 works fine...lol...as a matter of fact I have been going with 1230/1130,just for shits and giggles and it works fine:)


Vega,Pros.....a few vids down was an ed rosenthal video on his opinion of leds..lol..Ed Rosenthal on leds-Youtube...I don't know how to post vids.

About five minutes into his video he actually says something significant. Run HID HPS with LED. Instead of 1000w HID run a 400w and a LED panel. I chose to run white leds to replicate the full spectrum and the red leds to pic up more the flowering period spectrum. I have a switch on my Led panel that turns the red leds on. Hard to watch this guy, prefer to read his stuff.

Yeah, really doesn't mean much because there is no benchmark to say what and how much the flower initiator is contributing to the results. There are so many influences on a harvest and I think a lot of voodoo tech hides behind this fact. You can't prove it doesn't work.
