Does anyone have any experience with using LED Light bars for growing? They are about the same cost as HPS's but put off less heat and should require less energy. I am not sure about the lumen out put though.

everyone's watching LEDs closely. they will be the future of indoor growing one day once the technology get's the lumens high enough for flowering. right now, it isn't up to speed.

get an hps.

Has anyone tried growing with 'em yet? Or is the current technology just to inferior?

search the forums here at rollitup. a couple of people have tried them and journaled the process. LEDs work fine for vegging but fail to preform anywhere near an HID during flowering.

Thanks for the info. HID it is.

I don't agree that hid's is the only choice. I believe it is the wrong choice. You may want to view my journal. I am getting ok results using t-5's. Numerous advantages for new grower's. It's like Prego. its in there ( the journal). VV
