I would never even advocate those stupid lights filled with the little ten cent LEDs, I mean LEDs that are used for real illumination, not indicators.
But enough of that, I don't have the time to educate the unteachable.
The pic below is of a 35 LED array, made up of 35 3 Watt LEDs. It covers an area of about 30"x24". It produces at least 35 grams of trimmed, dried flowers per week, or 1 lb after 10 weeks (24 plants). I only grow Masterlow autoflowering under it. All in total it cost $160 to make. Unfortunately, it will only last 5 years at 24 hours per day. The success is due to the light being evenly spread out though the little grow space. It is made of royal blue, blue, red-orange, red, and white LEDs. It's not too hot, so odor is kept low. It CLEARLY outdoes an HPS, and MH for my needs.
Lumens???.... you just don't get it. U CHaMP! Thanks for your input, chronicless. | Where did you get 35 of those 3w Luxeon's for under 160$? Most go for about 10-20$ a piece around here.  |

I built the setup in an afternoon. Cutting the steel with a hacksaw and drilling the holes was the hardest part.
Proof? That would be hard, as I live in an apartment building, and with it being winter and no open windows, nothing grows right now.
Besides, you're not supposed to show these kinds of things online. |

Hi all.
Hey I'm the martian!!!!!!!
Ha Ha Ha.
nice to see someone else is trying out LEDs.
I intend using some LEDs for my new grow.
Do a search for my posts, and you'll see what I intend trying out.
BTW, get those lights as close as posible without damaging the plants, when they get a bit bigger, not too important at that size, but will soon.
