any one know how LEDs are for flowering My first grow is in flower my second grow was started 13 days later in a smaller grow tent with 4 90watt triband LEDs the veg state differance is amazing LEDs are deff the way to go for veg! Ive been told to just switch them to the bigger tent with the two dual acr 600watt hps mh systems for flower cause the LEDs wont do the trick? The 4 LEDs are equivlent to 1000watts of hps and mh. but not intense enough for my Co2 set up. Just sucks i dont have the room in my budding tent for the second grow cause i was told today by a very smart longtime grower they are well ready for flower and will produce bigger and tighter buds. I think the first time vegging with the 1200watts of hps and mh and using the Co2 made the plants grow too big and too fast which caused spaced out nodes. idk any ideas?

where did you get your LEDs and how much did they cost?? i bought one awhile back on ebay for 150$ and its the most shitty piece of shit ive ever seen. It came from china, what a piece of shit it is. I think i get better growth using a normal 27 watt cfl that my piece of shit ufo. I hate that piece of shit. yours are prob alot better tho. But thats another thing i dont get. Why is a more expensive 90 watt LED UFO better than the cheaper one's. I kno you get what you pay for, but if there both using 90 watts, i cant imagine a more expensive ufo would work so much better.

unless you want to spend a lot of money, and a lot of time researching and possibly building them yourself, I would not suggest LED's. To give you an idea, the minimum I have seen a worthwhile system for is around $1200, most of them have been closer to $2000, unless you are thinking of growing just one small plant.

LED's are BY FAR better than any HPS or MH system. As long as you buy the right ones. DesertHydro has the only models I know of that have Mixed Spectrum Technology. You must buy a unit that emits this range of mixed light Blue 620~660 & 430~470 Red. A plain 630nm / 460nm will not do very well. Mixed mixed mixed.
