take a look at this thread :thumbsup:

Great stuff. It seems the LED's have HID's beat with a stick in the long run. Cheaper on your electric bill, runs a lot cooler and no bulbs to change like you said. I was just starting to understand a little about how the ratio of light worked with HID's to plants. Looks like I need to read into more about LED's.

The things is I've seen a lot of people say they did not or were not having luck with LED's or the UFO's (same thing?)

What would you think I would need to get to be equivalent to the power of a 400w or 600w HID in an LED's ?
* Edit * I found this info. Do you think it holds true ?

A comparison of power consumption for equivalent growth capability of LED vs. HSP/MV:

* 90 Watt LED ~ 225 Watt HPS/MV
* 120 Watt LED ~ 400 Watt HPS/MV
* 300 Watt LED ~ 650 Watt HPS/MV
* 600 Watt LED ~ 1200 Watt HPS/MV


And the veg/flower stage how does that work then ? Is there a dial on the LED lights that you change for the flowering ? Haha I prob' sound like idiot.
