$120 is too much to pay for multiple pounds a year?lbbear: you forgot to mention these things can be on 24/0 for 7 years without degradation of light quality
HID = cheap at first, and it works. You can get 600w digital switchable ballast, reflector, MH and HPS bulbs, in a kit on ebay or under $200 and grow over 1lb of weed. You'll need to replace those bulbs every other grow ( if you're lucky ). Thats like $40 x 3 per year, $120 extra per year. If you do not have heat or space issues, HID is the best set up for the initial price. There are more maintenance costs.
LED = expensive start up costs. near zero maintenance costs for 7+ years. These grow panels haven't been out for 7 years, but the LED's can last that long. If anything a power supply will go bad, and you can get one for cheap from a computer store for like $20. But thats a big maybe. I've had power supplies in electronics last over 10 years. You can buy 600w of LED for about $1k on ebay, and grow over 1lb of weed. You do not need to worry about space or heat issues.
Are you crazy? You feeling okay?
How much do you pay for multiple pounds of quality herb? Less than $120?
