Buying a new LED panel

Hey fellow LED users! I'm looking for advice on a new LED purchase; this will be my second LED purchase this year. I have been very happy with the one I have now, im just interested in seeing what lights everyone else out there is using.

The kind of info im looking for is:

What company and model?
How much did it cost?
Do you have a link to a webpage you bought it from?
How long have you had it/how many grows have you used it?
How big is your grow space?
How many plants are under it?
Would you buy another?

Thanks guys, hopefully this will help me decide which light I want to add to my current setup, and also help out others who are thinking about buying their first LED lights. Pics of your setups are welcome too.

I'm using a SG 602... cost about $1500 new.. it covers 5x4 but i use it next to a 600w in a 4x4 tent.. first time growing with LED.. but so far.. the nugs are as big as the 600w.

I will be buying a LED light in the near future as well. I guess I didn't fully realize the potential it really had and didn't carefully research it as I should have before getting my HID lighting. I can give you a few good links.

First and foremost was this thread that basically was a detailed journal comparing 290 watt LED with a 400 watt HID light through an entire harvest. To save you a ton of reading the summation was this: LED harvested a bit more (not statistically significant honestly) than the HID with the high being very nice. This link is the LED system that was used from Spectrum - same size LED panel was @$700 or so.

Additionally there are 2 grow journals on this site that are using 2 different types of LED panels. One has had proven results with a completed journal using only LED's while the other is now doing a full LED journal where his last was combined CFL and LED. dunit and kush groove are the authors. I only checked out the LED panel that dunit was using (Magnum 357) and it was priced at $750 - Link.

The first LED I got was

3w 180w extreme flower panel from Advanced LED
About $500
Just switched over to 12/12 on first grow
Grow space is 4' x 1.5' x 6' (L x W x H) closet
3 plants, 2 white domina and 1 power skunk
At this point, I would definitely consider purchasing again based on results so far

I know there's more LED growers around than the few who responded...

Let's get some good advice flowing so we have a nice resource showing which lights are seeing quality results!

well, not getting very many replies. Which I find funny since I see LED journals popping up all the time now

I just got an LED from a friend, he wanted a bigger one, so he sold me his for pretty cheap.
Not sure if it's the best one available, but it is definitely not the worst one. It is the 90 watt UFO
from HTG. My friend did 1 seed to harvest with it, and got okay results.

I just hooked it up yesterday.

So far it is just in veg, plants are growing pretty fast. Nodes are really close.
I think it's about 8" from the tops of the plants. I'll see if I can get some pics today.

I do plan to flower with it.

Matter if a fact, I'll take some pics now.

The bigger ones were under CFLs for about 5 days once they sprouted, and
went under the LED about 5 days ago, so those are 10 days old. The smaller
ones are about 5 days old from when they sprouted. There is a little nute burn
from the mg soil. It is going away pretty fast.

Nice, keep us updated on those!

Anyone else out there want to share with us what LEDs you're running with? Seeing how it's 4/20 i'll have to post a few pics of mine too

Bump for new info

During the last 6 days, my plants almost died due to under watering when I for sure thought I was over watering. They still got bigger,
and are looking healthy again. I am liking LEDs so far. I wish I had money for bigger ones besides that 90 watt one.
