leds real or hype
can i grow under colored lights (red and blue) would this be the same as led
i see a lot of led setups online and they all are red and blue 7/2 could i just by a massive amount of red and blue party bulbs and have a seed to harvest grow during my research i found out that its not about the brightness of your light but the spectrum led's do a good job at forcing the red/blue light spec. onto plants could this theory work with colored lightbulbs, it would defiantly be cheaper
and why are leds so much $$ couldn't I just buy a bunch of super bright x-mass light, about 50 leds come on each string so about 7 reds 2 blue tape all the lights together or how ever just put them together so they kind of look like the ones online.
would the light thats produce be comparable to led made now. i mean we are talking about 400 super bright xmas light focussed to one point and not the typical pointed sape but the ones that look flat at the top in theory this could and should work?????
maybe

i dont know realy .. maybe those are cheaper made? less reliable for high output of light ?

bundles lots of bundles a whole lot of ele.tape

those super bright leds have to be 1w and at least 50-80 come on a string 1 string cost 10-20 $ put 10 strings together tape all the lights so they have one side flat like a book


yeah this should work and youll save 600-1000 $ DIY

leds are leds theres people makeing there own leds if that will work why wouldnt mine work becouse theyer x-mas light your not even giving the thought a chance think about it when ever i put up x-mas lights they light up the whole living room and that them spred out now if they were consentrated in one spot then they would be even more intense

further more IGNORANCE i am poseing a question and that was more than likely what was said when the first led user said hey let grow under led red and blue or also this is what was said to the first indoor grower by in outside grower hey you cany grow inside you need the sun or that pants going to get to big

the planet is not flat there are hundereds of ways to do something. maybe you call it ignorance becouse you did not think of it and or maybe you have bought one of these $3000 led setup and now feel slighted after running into my post or maybe you are a bulder and seller of one of these $2500 led units and if people thought like me the prices would have to come down about 80 % if not more

has any one ever put a red light in there flowering room to help with flowering would that even do anything ive say this some where

What type of xmas lights are you going to get?
I would have to imagine anything sold as a christmas light is going to be the cheapest LED on the planet that that chinese manufacturer could find.
The LED grow lights (at least some) use T-bin and similar very high quality very high out put LEDs. Thats why they are so expensive.
What your talking about... if the lights are actually LEDs will work, although probably not as well as an hps or mh would.

Also, if your serious about wrapping a bunch of xmas lights together in a bundle, it sounds like an incredible risk for a fire, and heat...

Your talking about spending 200 bucks to try to see if you can grow trees with christmas lights.... you could buy a light designed for it for that.
