Led's aren't the best
If you want a cheap decent grow get cfl's
if you want to go the more expensive route you should invest in a hps lamp for flowering

Oh hell no dont even go to led unless your lookin for just sum pretty lights. Dude Im your solution. Get your ass to walmart. Go to the light section. They sell a 2 bulb 48inch stainless steel fixture made by Lights of America for 15 bucks. 2 6500k bulbs for 10 bucks, If I were you Id do like me and buy a aqua plant bulb they sell for 6 buccks. I bought 2 fixtures and i of each bulb in each fixture. Heres a pic of my LA woman at just around 2 weeks old in the 2nd pic and these are in 8 gallon trash cans. 1st pic is g13 white widow 3 days younger. Then veggem about till they get 12 to 16 inches if indooors 8 ft ceiling. Get a hps light for flowering for hard compact buds or you can flower by changing to a lower spectrum fluorescent bulb like 2700k 4100k. But buds will be lighter and fluffier. Sure Ill give ya my soil secret. Regular Miracle gro potting mix (not the organic its to strong) 20% perlite 10% vermaculite, Top 2 inches of soil is scotts top soil Ive got sum flowering and veggign ferts for after 4weeks.

Well I didn't really know anything about LED's. Sunlight sheds threw them in for free when I bought one of their hydroponic turn key cabs. Didn't know if they were shit or not. I knew hps was really good. Thanks for letting me know about them and I will definitely check out walmart and see what they got. Thank you.
