Hello all I'm just stopping by to ask some questions about l.e.d lighting

I'm semi new to growing, but I've always hurd bad about led, can't remember the reasoning, but any way

What are some things you look for in a good led light?

And could you be producing the same/or more then a cfl floro set up?

What about your hid set ups?

What's grow time like ?

Could you just use store bought LEDs?(like with cfl)

And what type of led lights do you need? I've seen a big led box at the grow shop for like $500 .but when I go the store I see led strips, that I could piece to get her with the same amount of light at about $150 or just take some led lights from around the house and use those for cheaper.
What separates the big boxes from all the other stuff,?


Anyways,all answers are appreciated I hope there are some good answeres cuz I'm curious, thanks guys happy growing
 
LED is best for vegging. We use 80W LED to veg for 2400W HPS flower and 1W LED to clone. My friend uses 400W mh to veg for 1800W HPS flower and 40W CFL to clone. The power savings does add up over time especially considering that veg rooms run 18-24 hrs/day.

If you want to use LED to flower it can be done but very costly on a large scale. If you are doing a micro grow LED is by far the best option because you can get HPS type nugs on a very small scale.
