Researching LED lighting... Never grown before but i wan to yield the most. 3x8 space for flowering. Wanted to do about 12 plants. What lighting setup would you suggest? Is it true it should be around 82 degrees when using LED? Thanks!

for a 3x8 space your gunna need some serious led power. Im thinking at least 3xblackstar 500. Iv never heard of 82 being optimal for led. BTW: what did you get last time you posted if you did not get advice?

IMHO - I'd say if you're starting out you should try a simpler / cheaper upfront cost lighting source rather than LEDs.

LED's arnt for noobs. You need to know how to grow first. If your doing 1 plant go with T5. More then 1 go HID. And stay. LED isn't all what they say it is.

@ thatmessedup:I just checked out your grow!!! nice! I've heard that i shouldnt get the LED b/c its my first grow. What do you think? Have you ever used HID or any other? Are you using same LED from start to finish? How important is the extra CFL's? What is a good seed to start? Thanks in advance.. Again very nice!!!
