    LED Grow Light - First Time Grow

    lol I'm from England, the people I met weren't rude or anything, and did provide a lot of information, however they did seem to overcharge quite a lot I noticed (basic grow tent kit was over £700), and didn't even entertain the idea LED or HO were applicable for a decent grow. Your grow looks...

    LED Grow Light - First Time Grow

    1 gram per watt with LED? I've been to several stores today comparing prices and getting information, and I was told that LED or (V)HO lights are very impractical and only HID and HPS lights are sufficient for a decent grow. I was also told with a 600w HID or HPS I could expect to get about...

    LED Grow Light - First Time Grow

    thank you, I've been to a few stores today and got some first hand information about lights; I was told with strong conviction that LED and (V)HO lights are not suitable for a decent grow and that HID are best and especially for my level of grow (6-8 plants) with 600w, any opinions?

    LED Grow Light - First Time Grow

    oh and to Mad Scientists comment, what do you mean by gpw? (sorry if that sounds really naive), and thanks for the equations set out for me, I don't suppose anyone else has an opinion on VHO T5 grow lights that someone on another board recommended to me?

    LED Grow Light - First Time Grow

    thank you that actually answered something I was wondering about; I was considering getting a few small wat LED lights instead of one big one, say if I had 3 180 watt LED bulbs over 6 plants (and one 400w HDS I have could possibly become part of the equation if need be), do you have any idea...

    LED Grow Light - First Time Grow

    ok then I think I've settled on my option then, thank you for all the information; if VHO saves enough money on electric bills they will be my choice. However I'm having a hard time finding them on ebay whenever I type in VHO T5 8 Bulb grow light, can you send me a link? I promise this will by...

    LED Grow Light - First Time Grow

    thank you for the reply, I'll take a look at the sites you've mentioned. Sorry to question you when I've only just started to learn about growing, but are you sure a yield of a pound from 600w is possible? I'm not sure what an average yield of a hydroponic grow with 6 plants with 600w LED would...

    LED Grow Light - First Time Grow

    thank you everybody everything that has been said is helping a lot, and I am taking the advice I'm being given. VHO lights do seem better, but still having trouble finding suitable models, could you recommend one for the 6 plant grow I was planning? And is the energy consumption of a VHO T5...

    LED Grow Light - First Time Grow

    I've been trying to look up the lumens per watt, but some sites say it doesn't need to be known when it comes to grow lights (which I'm pretty is wrong but then again I don't know), so would LEDs be stronger overall? Btw could your response about vho lights, which I haven't done as much research...

    was the HID light you used the same strength as the 90w LED you used?

    LED Grow Light - First Time Grow

    again thank you, I have been doing so quite a lot of research the last few weeks and have narrowed my options down. LED is most appealing for saving money in the future, and don't mind investing in more expensive bulbs at first for long term gain with bills. Oddly enough I already have a 400w...

    LED Grow Light - First Time Grow

    thank you that link is very helpful, do you have any recommendations for a decent LED grow light? I'm not entirely sure what voltage yet, but between 300w and 600w; I'm intending to grow between 4 and 6 plants in a tent and still researching all the information such as how strong lights need to...

    LED Grow Light - First Time Grow

    I'm going to be starting my first hydroponic grow soon; have been researching different types of lights and want to select LED lights for my first option and was wondering if anyone could recommend a suitable example or brand to go by. Have a few ideas already, and I will enclose a link to give...
