By comparison, this question will be elementary at best, maybe even ridiculous, but since I know nothing about LED's I'm just gonna throw this out there.

Has anyone ever heard of, or is it even possible to use a large flat panel t.v. to grow marijuana? With the new LED and/or Laser t.v.'s I was just curious as to whether or not it's even possible. Is there similar technology involved that may potentially crossover?

I realize the cost, both initially and while in operation, would be impractical, among any number of other things, I just thought it would be interesting to try. I assume the major problem would be, that I'm confusing color with spectrum or lumens.? Hell, I don't know, you're the smart ones.

Anyone got $10,000 they can loan me for a test.

Peace
There are LEDs designed to be viewed, and LEDs designed to give light.

Of course those designed to be viewed gives light too, but its way less than required for plant's growing. Plants requires a lot of light, and the only practical way to give it with LEDs is using high power ones.

Think that HID growers uses in 1 sq meter (11 sq ft) what streetlights uses for 50X times that area. That is a lot of light.
