Led grow:

"for anybody that was wondering, I took the 3 nicest led plants and the 3 nicest hps plants. After 7 days drying there was 23.75 oz from the led's and 26.95 oz from the hps plants.Only a 3 oz difference,considering the led's are covering twice the area with only 400 more watts im pretty impressed with them."

I grow with a puny HydroGrow 400.
Instead of buying the deep red extension for the Pontoon for 800$, how about buying 10 of these?:

Bought some 75 Watt 7 Band Mini UFOs for side lighting. But, decide to experiment with the Mini's before adding a 300 Watt LED in the middle of my grow. Want to test how effective these lights would be.
So, far vary interesting results.
Here's a pic.
2 plants in the back are about 35 days old and the others are about 20 days.
I grow them small.

The pontoons are more than just 660nm, they have the 730nm initiator on a timer built in too. And the angles are designed to work with the IG induction to spread the 660nm properly.haha! I wish that was my grow!

If you are looking for cheap 660nm supplement then just get the 4foot 660nm agroLED tubes.

Flipped them 12/12 today.
Here is an update 6 days after the 1st pic.... I'm liking what I'm seeing from these 75 Watt LED UFOs. Can't wait to add the 300w LED in the middle, next grow.
Don't ask me why I don't just add them now.
The reason, is it will mess up my evaluation of theses 75 Watt UFOs.
Got to go thru the whole cycle, Seed thru Flower.Plus, I have to order the 300 Watt LED unit, Shy a few bucks.
These are going to make great side lighting in my future grows.

Got (1) Blackstar 135w and another on the way supplementing during flower with T5's. Very new to this loving all the great info. Only done an auto flower so far its at 37-38 days from seed. But I have some Tangerine Dream and Liberty Haze coming up next feel free to check out and comment on my grow with any advise. 
I have mars 2 900 w ,veg is amazing and so are the units.72 degree perfect and plant structure I've never seen before solid branching with very little gap between nodes.I would recommend them ,cost varys who you get them off.I don't lie and in 20 years I've never seen veg growth like it ,don't know about flowering capacity yet will let you know soon.peace.

I'm looking to speak with someone with personal experiance useing the california lightworks 200 watt solarflare... any takers? Just kinda curious if it could be used as stand alone lighting? or if it would be better suited to have some floro's with it too?

To beat Hyroot to the punch, it's just a re-branded apollo, there are better lights out there for the price.
