I have a few LEDs, a 75 watter & a 200 watt.... I had gone out and bought 4x150 watt COB, before I realized how sick the colors from the LEDs make me? I get nautious and puke if im near an LED grow light for any longer then a minute or 2... I can handle the 75 watts as it isnt to intense, but damn the headache and spins...
I would love to get my hands on a high powered 2000k-6500k LED panel and see how well that would produce.

Interesting because when I very first fired up the LED I got a strange feeling. Almost nauseated and feeling a loss of equilibrium but the feeling faded quite fast. Maybe having a MH in there helps.
I have yet to use mine for flower. Just about to flip in a couple days here. I've seen lots of people online grow normal looking buds with these units.
I just can't decide if I want to use mine for flower or veg.

Method 7 makes glasses so your eyes are protected and you see like it is a regular light. That should help you.

The first time I fired up the bad boy it is brighter than anything I have ever seen, after that I got some method 7's and I don't always use them when walking around the room but when I put my face under the light I wanna be protected.

Thanks, good to know.... I am still very interested in some 2000k HO LEDs though. Closest I have found yet is a 6000K warehouse 600 watt COB. I may just grab one at some point just to try it out. If it doesnt work, then I will have one hell of a flood light for working on my cars at night!

I've seen tons of pics online and it seems all good for flowering but I'm still a bit skeptical. Either way it should do ok sandwiched between 2 hps.

<-- Welding Goggles to enter my room. LEDs are annoying because in my dirt I never have enough magnesium/calcium free for them under the redder spectrum. Means I have to supplement.

Honestly the spores are everywhere anyway. I wouldn't really stress it. It's about giving them the conditions to do their thing....

so true. i amped circulation in my lil veg area. i had a patch pop up on grgr2 but since adding another fan shit hasnt popped up. im also trying out just foliaring with plain water every other day. my bright moments had 2 plants catch pm, since plain h20 shits gone so far. been a week, the 2nd week will be telling. my thinking is the spore sits on the leaf for a bit before tunneling into it. washing it off before it can infect the plant. im probably way off though lol i have other plants that are infected that are doing great with this every other day getting washed.

I gave my buddy the 4 COB lights I had. He uses them now, loves the temps. Quality of smoke is fantastic! He did a side-by-side grow. Identical grow cabs. Same exhaust. Same fans. Same nutes, soil and genetics. 600 wats LED vs 600 watt HPS. LED won on quality, HPS killed it in yield. Plus LED took an extra 10 days to finish.

how much better was quality? and yeild was that much better? seems like 600w led should out yeild 600hps

He was running my clones; that is all he ever runs, i dont know if he is a genius or an idiot cause of it?! Anyways, the smoke off of the HPS was top shelf, but off of the LED, a fully dried with a 5 week cure, you could take a bud and slap it against the wall and it would stick! It was like the resin was ooozing out of it like sap!!!
Yea, were talking like a pitiful 7 zips off of 600 watts! The buds seemed to produce more leaf off of the LED also, which did make some amazing wax!

I've seen the argument on here many times that led can match hps. But I have yet to see and large scale grower commit to led grows. Plus I would think the 60 hps has a larger footprint and can penetrate further in the canopy.
I've never worked with leds so I'm just another a-hole with an opinion about something I have no knowledge. LOL. Cheers.
Edit, sorry I meant to say, led match hps in yield.
