It would be much appreciated if only people who USE CURRENTLY leds for mostly full grows, or vegetative grows using only LEDs.
Thank you all, and I hope this thread EXPLODES in growth...
LED USERS UNITE!
Current Status: Not Growing Yet
Current equipment: Prosource Jumbo 180W UFO.

I'm loving this thread .
Ok I use to be a mh/hps user and the power bill killed me .
I've been researching leds for two years .I scored some bitcoin and made the plunge and I'm glad I did .
First off I have a large family and I've used my lights to start my garden growing veggies is great I can hardly belive how developed the plants got ill let you guys know what's up with them at harvest now for my medicine.I've looked at every light on the market marshydro 300 is what I could afford. So I bought a 80$ eBay gift card with 75$ in bit coin .I rescued a baby permafrost clone from the dumpster at a very friendly med dispensary and with a small space in my closet I was off and growing .long story shourt I yielded 5 oz off a 144 true power draw marshyo300 I got it for 63 bucks free shipping it was worth the risk so based off that input I put together a very cheep 4x4 tent (i got a part time job to make it happen ) and I had to use 4 of theese laps and I just put my ten to 12/12 for the lights .and I'm am sogging and I'm very please with theese light but when I fist got that one I was bleaching the leave useing the manufacturer's recommendation 4 distance on vegetation and flowers they recommended that I could get within one foot of my plants but every time I've done that why leaves turn White. Being a HPS guy I didn't have a clue as to y I thought it was my nutts lucky my ratchet hanger ratchet failed so I hung it frome my cross member in my tent and Walla now I grow plants with very tight growth node pattern s very hard to clone from but super good for hst and sogg
Please keep in mind theese are the cheepest quality lights I can afford I pull 4 amps with all my lights on
They are kicking the power bills ass in comparison to my 600w hps my tent with ventalation stays 81.2°℉ with co2 .I'll update with a freash pic when the lights come on
But so far all my mh/hps friend love the fence nugs I've shared with them[/QUOTE]
Here's a current pic 7 days into flower the two shorter plants are bouth white Syrians and the two taller ones are kush .in hind site I think I could have flowered just one plant and filled that tent
