Thinking about picking up some LED lights instead of HPS. Not using HPS now but the lights I'm using are.. Not the best at creating lots of light.

So down to business, anyone got any good brands to suggest?

Looking for a good LED:
Grow
& (if possible)
Multispectrum (Grow/bloom)

Thanks in advance!

Room
1x1 (for grow LED)
2x2 (Multi)

Plants 2 at the moment but moving up to 6 after first go!

cidly.com for the best price. but Im assuming they arent the "newest" panels, but they do work from what I have read/seen. I just made an order for 2 Apollo8s for $580 shipped to Canada.

Magnum Plus2 is on sale right now for $999 free shipping. http://www.357magled.com/Magnum-Plus2_p_16.html

Helios lights from http://www.cosmicgrowth.ca are the same (I think) as the Magnum Plus2 but in Canada.

best of luck

look to get 40W/ft^2 whatever the choice is you make. and make sure to get as high of a PAR reading as possible for your area.
