Lightbulb LED Grow Lights?
Is anyone using these yet? Saw them featured on the news today:

Damn, I was just about to start a thread on this. I've been looking on eBay for LEDs and there appear to be some good deals, but I've never actually heard of someone (besides the seller) grow with them. I'm thinking about supplementing my T5 system with some LEDs for flowering if it's worth it.

I have played around with them vegged one plant under them and did not like the results. If you are going to buy them stay off ebay. I do have a friend that is doing awesome with LEDs but he also has unlimited funds and his lights were about 100 a piece and he has over 20. I am building a box lined with LEDs but a 3"x3" section takes an hour if I rush it. so it will be done in a year or so.

LED's have years to go before they can be used for growing pot successfully.
I've read several tests on this and the growers almost always in an attempt to save there grow, ditch the led's in favor of any other light source, even CFL's.
Peace

And they are DAMN expensive. For a person to replicate the light output and coverage of a 1000 hps they'd have to spend THOUSANDS of $$$.

for now, you'd be better off going digital HID, IMO.

good luck
