If you've actually done a full grow with the UFO and could provide some information I'd be VERY interested. I'm currently using LED panels for sprouting/early vegging and as a supplement to my CFLs. If I could do a straight-up LED grow I'd be happy and my electric bill would be happy too.

why some people think that 250-400 watts are something to worry about. a fuckin computer is 450-600 watts minimum and i don't think anybody shut down his computer because of the fuckin' electric bill. Just a thought

The problem for me isn't so much the power from the lights -- it's the power drawn by fans, not to mention the noise caused by fans and the hassle of venting etc. A UFO grow could be done in a lot of places where you simply could not put any kind of HID system -- or where HID would require a whole bunch of structural mods etc.

LED Marijuana Grow

Complete grow with HID and UFO.

To me I'm not sold on it yet. The UFO cost $600, while a 400 watt HPS only cost about $150. You get more grams per kwh of electricity with the UFO, but you would need two UFOs to get the same weight that you get with a 400 watt HPS. That means you would have to shell out $1200 for two UFOs to match the 400 watt HPS. That means you would have to save $1050 in electricity just to make it worth it, and it would probably take like 5 years to do that, if not more. Wait for the price to come down, then they are worth it.
