i'm considering LEDs but afraid to commit $$$ to something that won't produce weight or will produce airy buds. what grow style are u using with your led lights?

I don't even know if this is the best deal out there, but $108 for a Lumatek 400 that will also do 250 if you want a smaller bulb;

Plenty of bulbs available. You can use a reflector or go bareback...reflector suggested.....if you are looking for a good alternative to LED.

I'd suggest, as many others will, wait until LED technology improves before investing. HID lighting has been proven time and time again to produce excellent results, with proper ventilation and other environmental conditions. Just get those down and buy yourself some nice HID lights, then enjoy the rest of your money

I'd suggest actually reading a few threads of successful LED grows...you wont have to look too hard...and as for the rest of the responses...it seems as if you all failed in reading and comprehension....
