I have a plant outside in the greenhouse, but the temperature is getting pretty low and the frost is well on its way. The tomatoes wont last much longer so I figure I should bring the plant inside. It is about 2-4 weeks into its flowering stage. The buds are small, but developing nicely.
Anyway, I have these LED panels I build for another project. In total I have 28 Cree XML and 24 XPG 3 watt emmiters. Each panel I guesstimate would be similar to a 150 watt MH. I also have lenses I can add to focus the light more.
Would this work for lighting? In the pic there are four panels that I could hang around the plant surrounding it 360 degrees. They run very cool (warm to the touch) so I could have them very close to the plant without it getting burnt. I have a controller that will allow me to do whatever I want such as adjusting the colour temperature, from yellow to blue, sunrise, sunset and varying intensity throughout the day.
Any idea if this would work well? I've only ever used MH and HPS in the past, but I don't have a setup right now.
