LED grow lights are a developing technology. Some are crappy and some are quite effective. The good ones are a lot more expensive than either HPS or MH with a ballast. HPS/MH lights are a proven cost effective light source. The choice of most personal and nearly all pro growers.

HPS. I have seen comparison grows with led lights in the same area with same clones and the led although a great idea could not compare to HPS

Guys lets remember this is Newbie Central. The OP doesn't need a discourse on the merits of all the different kinds of lighting choices. So let's not go there. There are a couple of hot threads where blood is being spilled and reputations ruined over this topic. Plenty of fun to be had there :) :)

The OP needs a simple, reliable and reasonably priced solution.

My advice is to get a MH or better still an HPS.
