hello all this is my first thread hope its in the right place hah hah..... I have been growing for a few years now and I AM SO SICK OF MY POWER BILL being so high. i have been looking at the HTG supply 500 dollar led panel with 3 cooling fans built in. It claims to put out more lumens than a 1000 hps. After talking to them they say its awsome but it is kinda weak on the flowering side they told me that using a 150 watt hps mounted high would provide enough of what its missing . PLEASE bring me up to speed on led lights whats THE BEST ONES TO GET? If you use them how is the flowering with them yeild wise? Anybody using multiple led for a large grow and getting same results as hps?

Well buddy, i just bought one of those cheap 90 watt ufo's on ebay for 144$, and so far its been working really good, it looks identical to those that are 500$+ and from what is says, it puts out the same lumens as those more expensive ufo's, so far i like, but im into week 1 right now lmao so too soon to tell. But, based on what i see, it looks perfect for vegging, but im not to sure about the flowering. Since i live in an apartment right now, i dont want my power bill going really high, and i dont want to deal with it getting really hot, so its been working perfect. I have a section closed off in my closet for my 1 plant, and the temp stays about the same as the rest of the apartment. If u ad 150 hps, im sure that would work good, but ist that what ur trying to get away from? When its time for me to flower, im going to thro in two 65 watt cfl's, and hope for the best lol. I think LED's in general still havent made it to where it could be, but im just kinda looking at this as an experement.
