I would also like to comment to you regarding the fan. While it is true that LED lights put out less heat than many of the other systems, they do generate heat, and especially in the summer time this needs to be dealt with. You are also forgetting that there are other reasons to have a fan in your grow room, such as to exercise the plants and make them stronger, provide a flow of fresh air that the plants need to thrive, and to keep down moisture that could produce molds and mildews. I would never recommend running a grow room without a fan, no matter what lights are used.

Emilya,,basically I do two or three grows indoor and I first indoor was back in 77 when I was in College and we did it with CFLs and I even get my plants up to at least 2 feet tall indoor and plant organically( Seabird/Bat Guano:High Phosphorus) the High P and medium K=Potassium content, and organic matter/composted planted outdoors the week of 4/20,spring to get them 6-8 weeks of Cool spring weather spring weather to really acclimatize to the being outdoors and to established a good root mass.. when the weather here gets to the high 80s and low 90s,in June I give the plants a High Nitrogen Nutrients such as Humboldt Nutrient's Verde (16% Nitrogen 1% Phosphorus 2% Potassium) Basically I take cutting when I thin out my outdoor med plants and root them and I trade them for a different strain to smoke, It basically to Hot to do an indoor grow from Mid May to Late October and being a NORML Director I am more than likely speaking here and their at Weed expos and Hemp festivals all around California, my pictures of speaking engagements in 2011 are posted.:rastasmoke:
