Imo, unless you build the led lights yourself with the proper spectrum, or spend a ton of money for the right led, a 1000w hps with aircool hood with a 400cfm fan will blow led out of the water. To put it simple, I moved and bought new equipment . I spent 140$ on an air-cooled hps with new hortilux eye bulb on Craigslist. You can get a lb easy with a shit load of screw ups with a 1000w hps. You can't with a cheap led, no way in hell. Good luck to you, you will do well. :hump:

area 51 is cheap?

I'm sure two will work for your area!! They are decent leds but the drivers and fans come from china.. the housing case and heat sinks are also imported from china then it's assembled in the usa... seems like one of the better lower quality leds on the market!

Agreed. even a 400 has respectable yields. I think a beginner can get around .3 to .5 GPW I think the OP has some limits on power, and heat.
The rest of the plant matter can be converted into hash, or oil/solvent extraction.

I tried some of the previous generation of LED's I'm still waiting.. I think in a few years I'll be ready.

400w is more efficient ( if im remembering the numbers i read ...ive smoked and slept since then) .... but i believe the consumption to output ratio is the highest out of the HPS's but it lacks the penetration of the bigger bulbs

The small tent is a 2x4 with a 400w hps and the bigger tent is a 5x5 with a 1000w. Everything was vegged with cheap $20 32w floros. If people keep it simple and use what is proven to work, with a little bit of know how, you can yield plenty to smoke with friends and family for months with one grow

The 1000w room yielded 17 Oz of bud and a few more Oz of popcorn buds

The 400w room yielded 8 Oz of bud and a couple of of popcorn.

LOL. That's how they get ya.

Don't be so uptight. Kinda funny you found the need to put you're a girl in a thread title supposedly about growing.

Whatever. Maybe that's why I've never come into this section. I'll leave it to ya'll. LOL.

Oh. and 400 watts are a "waste of time". You're welcome.

Um....because that's what the previous 7 posts were talking about. 400 watts.

Cfl's? LOL. No wonder you're in the newbie section. Ask you're husband for help.

Don't know. Never looked at anything you did. Hydro shops? LOL. That's cute.

I joined for the strain reviews section.

Once you learn how to grow some weed you'll be less of a nag.

Namaste girl.

What you need is at least a couple 1000 watt HPS. If not...Whats the point.

ok ok....I'm sorry for giving good advice. I'll let the newbies take it from here. PEACE.
