Aloha Charbud.
You asked:
"Any advice on purchasing ?"
My unsolicited advice?
Look for high-power emitters.
1. and 2W. leds are a bad choice for blooming.
(For reasons see "penetration misunderstood" on the IC.)
So, avoid Hydro-grow, UFOs, etc.
StraightouttaWeed is using lights with 3W. emitters that are blooming up a storm.
I have yet to see any commercial lamp hold a candela to my homebrew 15W 660s. but his come close.
Weeze, out.
Hit me up on yahoo....let's chat! :jointsmile:Quote:

They cost $450 each which i don't think is alot considering what they can do and price comparing them with HPS. My closet has been staying at a good temp WITHOUT the use of A/C and my power bill has dropped immensely! So those are all things to take into consideration also. Anyways, feel free to hit me up on yahoo IM if you want to chat about it. I will also try to update my log as often as possible for those of you trying to learn from others! :jointsmile:
Aloha Moody,
Didn' mean to 'jack, but dat question jus' dragged 2 cents outta me.
An' those WX... are the lights I was recommending on the strength of str8's grow.:greenthumb:
:o T'anks fo' da techy tag, but I is jus' a lizard.
An' a lazy one at dat.
I only learn as much as I need, to do what I need to do.
I'm seriously under-educated as a result.
But, like Paul Simon says; "My lack of education hasn't hurt me none.":jointsmile:
I'll desist now.:)
Aloha

Oh Weezard....your advice is welcome always on my threads! You are part of the reason I switched to LED's! You are mad talented! And just because someone isn't "formerly" educated doesn't mean you aren't smart! I think your grow logs are genius and even jacked a couple ideas from ya! :jointsmile:Quote:
