    Question Help with LED grow lights

    Hi mats i'm a couple issues with my next growing i after searching a lot(really xD) i though it would be better to ask for help

    I wanna go hydro and led, and about the hydro i already know what im gonna do but my thing it's with the lights.. I was thinking about buy 2 of this http://www.mauser.pt/catalog/product...ducts_id=54660 and 2 of this http://www.mauser.pt/catalog/product...ducts_id=54659 and put them in a wooden plank or something so i could adjust the height.

    The thing is that i saw in some sites that many of the leds won't work for growing weed and that the better "combination" would be 2 strips of blue light, 2 strips red light and one of orange light (which i can't find).
    i got the info from here http://www.marijuanaled.com/led-grow-lights-review/

    I was also thinking of putting one cfl to put some heat in the closet and help with the light
    And keep in mind that i have 300€ budget including the hydro system and the closet that i still have to build xD and sorry for any noobiness but the growing community in Portugal it's very low but rising

    Dont bother with LEDs with such a small budget unless you are going to make your own light even so it will be too pricey for you, go cfl...

    but have you seen the links? cuz most leds system i seen in growers have the same characteristics has the one i would build with those 4 strips or maybe more and it would be like 50€ = 65 bucks. ohh and im going to grow 4 babies

    if you only have that much to spend go CFL. you will be sorely disappointed with those LEDs (probably wouldnt work at all)

    but in hydro yield it's better cfl or led? and does cfl create a lot of heat that i need to use a not so simple venting system?
