I really would love to buy a new fangled LED to get fancy new lenses, modular design, etc... unfortunately (or fortunately), i just can't find any good reason to switch from mine

I use cheap chinese 90 watt led UFOs. I add white with cheap chinese 9watt spots. I make a kinda string of lights using bathroom bar lights gutted. I hang them from the UFOs. The white spots help a bunch and are cheap on ebay. Now they are about $3 each if you buy 10. I just switched to flowering so I'll see how this setup works in that mode. I also use a tracker for the leds. So far the plants are much bushier under the leds than they were under a 600 watt HID. Most of the new LED grow lights have some white in them. It seems to me they need even more white, maybe 1/3 white. But you can easily add white spots if you have the older type. I use both warm and cool.

I read that LED is generally slower can u confirm that?Does it affect potency and yield?

I'd suggest reading some material from this awesome forum: http://www.rollitup.org/led-other-lighting/

Nice! Ive been trying my damnedest to get a second LED for the TV grow. My Esnipe keeps getting out esniped by a dollar or two on the 240 BS. Currently rocking just a Haight ppf-800 Its doing good but If I got the room for two fixtures then why the hell not rock two fixtures right?

Thread in my siggy.

very nice stannyboy what kind of panels you using in there?

got the final weight of my LED grow at 403 grams. A pinch less than i wanted but this Sour Kush stain has always been a lower yielder. I plan on running Blueberry under the same LED and i bet i can hit 1.5 per light next go, I have hit those numbers before with my 1000 HPS so we will see.. I will keep everyone updated as to when that starts. Need to take some time off.
