| | taz Leds have not proven themselves to be sufficient enough for growing..
I have yet to see even the $600 Pyrocon 100 or the UFO led unit outperform a 400 watt HPS...
It would take a lot of $$$ in a custom made cree X lamp unit to even begin to compare with flouros...
Stay away from LEDS for a couple more years until the technology develops... |

*When you germinate bag seeds less most probably wont be good they
*I dont think they grow as fast as seeds bought online
*Not feminized

| | Correct partially, plants need to maintain certain temps to take in nutrients properly.
Some heat is needed. |

| | 65 to 85 degrees fahrenheit is a good range of temps BTW. |

| | The GlowPanel™ LED grow light represents the latest in plant grow light technology.
Our GlowPanels are the brightest, most intense, 225 LED grow light panels you can buy. Providing your plants with only the light they need, our 225 LED mixed red/blue spectrum GlowPanel™ is up to 90% more energy efficient than metal halide or HPS lamps. Unlike all other grow lights (HID & CFLs) on the market, GlowPanels do not contain any hazardous materials (i.e. mercury). GlowPanles will operate maintenance free for over 100,000 hours without the need for a bulb replacement. GlowPanels are great for growing plants, they're environmentally friendly and with today's skyrocketing energy costs, they're also good for your wallet.
GlowPanels produce virtually no heat and run cool to the touch. They are very discreet and produce no thermal footprint. GlowPanels pay for themselves many times over via lower electric bills and replacement bulb savings. They make a smart and responsible choice for today's indoor grower. GlowPanel™ grow lights are suitable for all stages of plant growth. Simply adjust your light cycles as necessary.
we offer a complete line of LED grow lights. Not just one item. We have LED grow lights up to 300 watts (Equivalent to a 1500 Watt HID).  GlowPanel™ Features & Benefits: - 5x more energy efficient than Sodium or Halide HID lights. <LI class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Significant savings - lower monthly utility bills - no expensive bulbs to replace <LI class=MsoNormal>Discreet – No thermal footprint – 100% silent operation <LI class=MsoNormal>Reflective finish ensures maximum light delivery <LI class=MsoNormal>Can be used with any indoor growing method - hydroponics, aeroponics, soil <LI class=MsoNormal>Operates cool to the touch – no heat exhaust needed <LI class=MsoNormal>Wide angle insures uniform coverage <LI class=MsoNormal>Safe to operate – no risk of fire or exploding bulbs <LI class=MsoNormal>Lightweight - no ballast required. <LI class=MsoNormal>Shock & vibration resistant <LI class=MsoNormal>100,000 hour life cycle <LI class=MsoNormal>Free hanging kit included
- One year replacement warranty
Each GlowPanel provides sufficient light for a 1 square foot garden
Recommended height above plants is 3"-18" (plant dependant)
We recommend 4 GlowPanels for a 2'x2' coverage area. 73% Red (165 pc): 655 (nm)
27% Blue (60 pc): 460 (nm)
110 volt
Dimensions: 12.25 x 12.25 x 1.5 inches
Weight 1.5 lbs. Frequently Asked Questions Q: Why do GlowPanels™ work?A: Basic biology has taught us that a growing plant needs specific bands of red and blue light to stimulate chlorophyl production. It is also well known that blue light promotes vegetative growth and red light promotes fruiting & flowering.
Until recently, the only options for growers have been inefficient, energy hogging HID systems using High Pressure Sodium & Metal Halide lamps requiring ballasts and additional cooling. The problem is, these systems consume large amounts of power yet direct very little of their consumed energy towards plant growth. Most of the light these systems produce falls outside the red and blue spectrum in the form of ultra violet, infrared or other visible light not used for the production of chlorophyll. This is incredibly inefficient and results in a WHOPPING 85-90% energy loss. That’s right, only 10-15% of the energy used in the average HID system is actually used to grow plants! Understanding the history of these lamps, one can understand why. They were originally designed to provide overhead lighting in warehouses and street lamps. They were not intended to grow plants and they certainly weren't designed to be energy efficient. Relative to other lighting systems, there has been little to advance bulb technology for HPS or Metal Halide lamps during the past 40 years.
GlowPanels™ are 95% energy efficient and shower your plants with only the blue and red light plants love. GlowPanels were designed with one purpose in mind; to grow plants, not light a warehouse. Q: Why LEDs?A: LEDs produce light more efficiently, can burn brighter longer, produce virtually no heat and the wavelength (color) of light produced can be controlled to the nanometer. This is why LEDs are great for growing plants; they are extremely energy efficient and can produce the exact wavelengths of blue & red light that plants love. Q: Who can use a GlowPanel?A: GlowPanels can be used by home hobbyists, urban gardeners, nurseries, schools, researchers, florists, well basically anyone who wants to grow plants. Even NASA uses LED grow light technology to grow plants in space. Q: I see other grow lights similar to the GlowPanel. Why should I bA: Q: Can I use GlowPanels with my existing grow lights? A: Yes, GlowPanels make a good supplemental lighting choice. GlowPanels complement sodium and halide bulbs extremely well by raising the deficient levels of red & blue light. GlowPanels™ are lightweight and are well suited for helping any dark areas in your garden spring to life. Q: Can GlowPanels be used outdoors? A: No. GlowPanels are made for indoor use only. GlowPanels are made to be water resistant but are not designed for outdoor use. Q: Technical Specifications: A: 225 pc LED mixed red/blue GlowPanel™ LED grow light
