has led lighting been proven to work or not. i was just wondering because i have seen some really tall claims about it. i dont think i would do a 100% led grow but maybe some side lighting. i found some 1 foot by 1 foot panels with blue and red spectrum leds i was thinking about picking up but im not sure if i should.

any advice will help thanks in advance

ive never used em, but ive heard negative comments abount its flowering potential and cost.

try it for veg tho, presumably they do that nicely :p

"David Zap" on uk420 (I know he posts here as well) did a very detailed lowryder #2 grow (http://www.uk420.com/boards/index.php?showtopic=86168)with LEDs.. sadly its flowering potential is lacking. However there are two new lights out involving high powered LEDs that may have better potential. But at a $600 price tag makes for some expensive testing.
