I plan on growing 2 plants in a smaller space (both on/in a 10gal rubbermaid container). What I'm wondering is what type of LED should I use and how much power do I need?

In my research I found one the is just under my budget of $300 and a set of what I'd prefer to spend.
$300: http://www.dormgrow.com/240-watt-led-grow-light.html
$150: http://goo.gl/SwAQr9

Do you guys have any suggestions? Is the $300 one worth the extra $150? What do you use?

Thanks very much!

Buy from a trusted company with proven results and top of the line equipment

Kinda pricey ($174) for a Vero 29, but it will make beasty plants, even better if you went with 2....

Where are you located? In the US I'd also look at California Light Works and Spectrum King.

OOPS missed under $300, forget the two above and check out Mars Hydro.

Morning sex with someone who's orally obsessed.

You wanted to know what's better than LED lights, didn't you?

Moral of the post; be careful what you ask for around here, someone will know his grammar well enough to give to you- but good!

Yes if you do everything else right, you'll end up with bud.

I'm no Led guru..yet !

The beef with Mars is the epistars, are bad ..The best lights use Cobs. The Mars use cheap parts and bogus claims on coverage .

A part goes bad and you wait weeks- months to get a replacement part that YOU need to repair.

The best lights are the DIY self built ones that guys are building.

If You buy one, get the Cree Cobs.. Not the cheap Chinese junk.

Follow JimmyIndica around, read his posts, that's where I'm picking up most of the Led info.


Alternative? I'd buy One of those Tasty LEDs or Optics .. Area 51 LEDs ..Gogreed LEDs.
