Thanks, please keep us updated and do a journal I really want to see how this turns out.Hey Bro That Coment Was for Al B Fucked No Worries I like cfls I sell them all day long just not what we use them for. This will be up dated almost daily, got to push the edge isn't that what brought about hydroponics in the first place This will be fun but no worries critisium is always welcome
Where did you obtain "900" from? Are you being sarcastic? Lumen doesn't mean a whole lot for a plant; we humans use it respectively to identify how bright an hps or mh would have to be for its use-able amount of light to be intense enough to activate and maintain photosynthesis.
wroooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnng
wronnnnnnnnnnng- high output LEDs make so much heat that they have to be flow soldered onto a heat dissipating mounting substrate! Their power supplies generate a fair amount of heat, too.
Well, it makes sense that a plant that isn't thriving won't use much water... but I'd like to see where you got your figure from. It's a bit useless.
Big deal, space is very cheap, especially space spent on lights that will produce some buds.
Crap. Gimme a source for that information (that doesn't come from a maker or seller of LEDs).
Sorry, but this is bullshit.
You SERIOUSLY don't wanna know about the cyanide and arsenic as well as lead & mercury used in the production of semiconductors. Look up gallium arsenide sometime- it's common in LEDs.your CFL's are loaded with Mercurybetter hope one doesn't break, hope you recycle.
Oho, the truth comes out. You sell lights. No conflict of interest here, is there?
Quite so! You need to use your nose to smell asshole.Lights Don't Smell Asshole
How many people need to jump off a cliff to prove they can't fly? All you need to know is that LEDs make fuck-all luminous output to know they'll not be very good at growing plants.
For $1.50 you can get an 1800lm CFL at the fucking grocery.
You can take temp down with fans. I say go back to the hps.I talked with guys from htg about the led's they are only suppose to be used for supplimental light. Heat is always gonna be a factor If your in a closet I have a tiny grow box and just using cfl's I have to keep the door open until I can get better fans. Good luck with LED.
Wow you are an Angry Bitchwroooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnng
A Luxeon K2 (which, by the way, you don't have, considering what you paid for yours) makes 200lm from 5W input. That's 40 lumens/watt. My 1000W HPS lamps make 160,000lm, or 160lm/W. My 1000HPS lamps are 4 times more efficient in lumens/watt than the very best LEDs (which, again, you don't have).

600 hours, my ass. My 400HPS in the mum area runs 8000 hours/year and my 1000HPS are running 4000h/yr.
Why do people come on this board and talk pure shit and think no one will call them out?
Quite so! You need to use your nose to smell asshole.

Space = $, five miles from me the richest 1% of the world pay's $4000/ 1000 square ft per month, Arsinic etc wont leak out on my crop if I accidently hit the lights with my elbow or screw them in a notch too tight use the base to avoid this. I sell photo/ movie lights not grow lights, 140 watts all day 75 degress I'm the fucking source. If I turn your screws a little more I bet I could hear your head exploding from here And yes heres my source for the rest
Yeah, I do tend to get a bit snarky when people rock up here and spread the manure. It's hard enough for new growers to get good information without being deliberately misled.Wow you are an Angry Bitch
I'm reasonably sure that's what he's told us... twice...

I sell photo lights for a living believe me when I tell you Led is the next generation of lights
spam spam spam
I do not sell grow lights I sell movie lights the leds we sell are $1600.00 for 1 x 1 foot they are for shooting film and video the growing is a side hobby to keep me in pot so I can deal with the customers. but its fun when I get the address of the kid buying 5 85 watt cfls just squirms
Whats fun about that?
One of the problems with keeping an open mind is that people will throw a lot of garbage in it.
My children are in their 20s & 30s and they hate me for all the same reasons.
I'm totally OK with that because they can hate hate hate me now but take the wisdom with them for their own quiet benefit later.Good point. My argument is now null, as you reminded me of the true nature of the forum.
