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.

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?

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

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.
