    before I start ordering...

    LEDs are about as basic as it gets. Building one is well within my technical ability it's just I'm not convinced it's actually cheaper. I found myself wanting to copy area 51 and it quickly became apparent I should just buy their fixture. If I could build something similar for cheaper I would have.

    before I start ordering...

    I had a similar experience and decided that the price difference was so negligible that I may as well just buy something good. Also it seems to me it's hard to source quality diodes at reasonable prices. It seems impossible to verify if what you're buying is even real.

    IF you are new to LED and want help choosing what to buy, POST HERE!

    I'd do a bit more research before spending any money as you seem confused on some core concepts. IE, lumens don't matter at all for growing plants.

    LED LIGHTS BRANDS/MODELS : Which is the best and why?

    Not trying to start shit but what evidence is there that Apache Tech is actually better? Have there been any side by sides?

    If you're looking for a trust worthy company most people are going to tell you to buy Area 51 and they'd be right to do so. No one else is as transparent about what components they use or how you can expect it to preform. No one else offers a lifetime warranty or an upgrade program.

    LED Round #2 - Apollo8, T5HO, Coco

    Is that a sticky trap full of gnats? If so I've found a top layer of perlite kills those little bastards. They lay their eggs in the soil but they can't burrow through the perlite so the eggs get trapped under it and the remaining ones flying around just die off.

    Mars II 1200 vs 2x Area 51 XGS-190 in 4x4 LED tent shootout

    What I do is similar to mainlining but it's sort of my own technique that I've developed. I top the plant and leave four main nodes. I guess that's known as "Uncle Bens Topping" though I discovered it on my own. A few weeks later I top those 4 main nodes again turning each of them into 2-4 tops...

    3x3 would be perfect. You should really just check out his site. He's gone out of his way to provide all the info he can. http://area51lighting.com/ I just ordered two of the XGS-190s for a 4x4 but I think the recommended for a single unit is pretty close to 3x3. I think the way the unit is...

    Mars II 1200 vs 2x Area 51 XGS-190 in 4x4 LED tent shootout

    Mars II 1200 vs 2x Area 51 XGS-190 in 4x4 LED tent shootout

    Still no signs of life from the Pineapple Express. It was open when I put it in the ground but hadn't really developed a taproot yet. I'm worried the seed may have channeled down too deep with a watering or maybe it's just a dud. I'm going to keep it in there another week or so but I'm not...
