l-e-d lights any one used these

.69-100 dollars is overpriced for functional grow LEDs? Get the hell out of here.
.
How many watts are the lights?
The 300watts lights are the older tech, Very inefficient. I based my post on the newer lights, look at the 600s and up.
A 600w is approx $170http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mars-Hydro-600-LED-Grow-Light-Panel-Full-Spectrum-272-5-True-Watt-For-Hydroponic-/290950075690?hash=item43bdf9d52a:g:YSkAAOSw8KNW~OGo & the 1600w is $590. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mars-Hydro-...490721?hash=item2367276661:g:IXYAAOSwv~xXD9FU
You can get an 1200w COB for $200 http://www.ebay.com/itm/1200W-COB-L...010471?hash=item43eabc3027:g:qOAAAOSwu1VW2VOR

300w is inefficient? "Old technology?" Based on the wattage alone? I use a 240w BlackStar for veg and a 500w for flower. You don't know what you're talking about. They won't last forever, but they'll certainly work

He refers to the "300W" (135W actual) Mars Hydro.
I don't have personal experience with them, but a good number of folks here have reported them failing completely out having many of the individual blurple bulbs dying.
 
not for me dude,I don't mind paying the extra money for juice ,I get good end results with 2 x 600 hps lights I was going to get it me bro he wants to start growing ,so I was going to get him one ,just to see if his hearts in it or it's just a fad with him,if he takes to it then I be doing him a room with hps lights.but dont wanna lay out a lot of money if he is just gonna play at been a grower
Great plan for a beginner that your spitting the bill for IMO. I've seen some pretty decent grows done with them and who knows it may only be one lol. Nice of you to set your bro up, kinda like a franchise lol. Having to deal with HID's and the heat they produce can be daunting for a newb, it was for me lol
 
Far as I'm concerned the two I bought are working out fine. The one in the pic I posted above is turning into a beast. Had to tie it up today and it's only half way. I'd say use them. The price is right.
 
Guess I will be finding out. I have 2 600's that give me a total of just over 550w. Only vegged under one but added the second for flower.

I have kept a personal journal this grow frow germination until now which will be the start of week 2 of flower. Written journal and photos. I dont have it on here but very well could create one if need be.
I grew with Cfl's last year and didnt keep a journal and kicked myself because I didnt. Would have been nice for reference but hoping for better results with these LEDs.

I would just like to see how you plants are compared to mine. Not dick measuring by any means. I'm just a noob. I've got 2 plants in supersoil from a local shop under 200w of 3500k CXB3590s. Literally the first time I've grown a plant in my life.

Oh by all means I am always interested in other peoples results. I am not here to out grow anyone. I just really love doing this.
