Indeed they have.

However, just because you CAN put leds right up against the leaf does not make that a good idea.

Lemme 'splain.

There is such a thing as too much light.
And, of course, too little light.

Somewhere in-between is the "sweet spot" for cannabis.
If you place the source right against the leaf, there is no room for adjustment and each emitter only covers a very, very small area!
To cover a decent size plant that way. would require thousands of weak emitters.

Mo' betta, to use hi-power emitters from several inches away.
Better "blending" too.

I suggest that you google "Inverse square law", read a bit, then sit and think about it.
Could save me a lot of typeing, yah?

I'm saying that you are on the right track, but you need to gather facts, then spend some time and effort thinking about it.

All will become clear in time.

Weezard Reviewed by Weezard on . How are led lights? Im new to growing cannabis and was curious if i could use one Sunshine Systems 45WT LED Grow Light for 2 cannabis plants. Can I just use this one light to grow them or do i need multiple led lighting systems? here is a URL for the light.
