WHAT ARE THE BEST LED's OUT?

Hey I recently came up with an idea to use a couple plants as decoration. To do this and not have to worry about pests and disease and lighting issues I was going to use auto flowering plants in a dwc container I designed that keeps the water aerated and has a drain spout for quick water removal to change out my nutes. Im not too concerned with getting comparable results to a HID grow but was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for a single small plant under an led light. I am new to this site is and it littered with so much bad information and people that show their "awesome" plants and claim to know so much when it seems like I cannot find anyone with credible information with pictures to back up their claims. I am used to getting about 2000 grams per 1600 watts of power consumed by my lights and was hoping that someone with that kind of understanding could get back to me.

Basically I need the best led light for a single plant but does not take up more than a sq. foot of space or a few inches more.

Also any awesome LED grow journals or other interesting thread recommendations would be appreciated!

If it's really only 1 ft2 that's a little tough on choices. Hans Panel - bonsai hero.com - would be pretty awesome for about that size space but it's 10 x 15". I would want a space about and inch or two bigger than the fixture. Kessils could work well if you put a little white light with it - like one or two small CFLs or white LED bulbs - but I hesitate to recommend it without at least a little diverse spectrum. I grow with Kessils and love' em but I add some white light - either fluorescent or LED.

This would be a good diy project and you could get the best LEDs, drivers, etc and make a killer 1 ft2 grow; populate about a 10 x 10 heatsink with Cree and Philips at about 30 - 40 total real watts. Make the driver/powersupply remote and even that heat source is removed too...if you desire. (BTW, Kessils and Hans come with remote driver/powersupply.) If it interests you at all, take a look at ledgroupbuy.com stevesleds.com rapidled.com modularled.com and of course there's always mouser, cutter.

Area 51 makes the best panel out hands down.. The SGS-160 needs way more space though..

Look into the California Lightworks 100W SolarFlare.. I have the 200W Bloom Booster and it does what it claims..

Both of those lights work with 5W but I like the A51 set up and A51 has those CREE top bin LED's

The area51 fixture is excellent but is 12 x 18 and meant for about a 2 x 2 area. The CLW will fit in 1 ft2 so that would work and some people love it but I'm leary of no-name LEDs; there's just so much con artistry going on in this arena...not saying CLW is...just generally for the LED horticulture industry. BTW, Hans is using Cree and Philips LEDs only in his fixture.

Here you are wanting to.grow.one plant. On the other thread you said you want 6 led lights. Talked mad shit. You never grown before. You may know someone who.grows but you never have.

You go from.1600 watts and 2000 grams to 1 little plant.

Its a trap!

Just to clear a couple things up:
SGS recommended coverage = 2x3

Cali Lightworks has a forum full of journals with their lights:
www.ledgrowlightforum.com

Anybody who just believes what they read on a website, without doing any research on their own, almost deserves to get their money took.

OP: should do what you say and "buy 6 different lights from 6 different companies" and let us know.

well 1 plant, small area..

HGL single light ( not sure the name ) ( there's chinese sames on ali )
kessil ( but there shit, and expensive )


all I can think of micro LED units. besides DIY
