Default Since the search function won't work DO LEDS really work as good?
I am just curious what you guys can tell me about LED lighting as I have only seem them advertised but don't know anyone who has grown with them.

i am not speaking from experience so LED growers will have to weigh in but from what i understand they are great for vegging but need some HPS help when it comes to flowering (for now).

again - i don't use them so could be talking directly out of my ass

I would be spending 230 for a cool tube and HPS, I have already bought a carbon scrubber and a computer fan, and a 6 inch inline fan I guess it would work out nicely to just do LED but I am growing in a cabinet and am interested in the yield via LED vs HPS, I would need to have a bunch of LED to equal the yield the 400 would do I bet

LED yields are not even comparable to HPS yields

Go with the HPS, period.

Until you see the LED grow log that looks successful, go with HPS or ceramic MH.

Go with the hps. LED still needs alot of work before it can start growing high light plants. NASA is working on it, once they find away to prefect them and start realeasing the technology to companies then you could condider going LED.
