Nobody said that, exactly.

It's more, we have not tried those particular lights so can not say how well they work.
Str8 knows that his lights work for big grows and said so.

Now, with cash flow problems, and reasonable rates for electricity.
Overspending on "maybe" lights, especially lights that require extra skill for a successful grow is ill advised.

CFL s look inexpensive, until you add up the cost of a half dozen or so.
And they do produce more radiant heat than LEDs, watt for watt
But they are quite usable for small grows.

Have you priced a 250 - 400W HPS?
It's a simple way to go.
Probably the easiest solution to your temporary problem.

'course if ya just really like leds, I'll be happy to help.

Advice on LED lights I already posted this under khyberkitsune's LED grow log but maybe I'll get help faster here. i need some advice. backstory: i recently lost my job and don't know when i will get another one so i am pursuing growing as one way to help make ends meet. I have been researching grow methods and lighting. I have decided to build an aeroponic/hydroponic system and use LED lighting because the heat and energy involved in HIDs is not something I want to deal with. I currently have some 1 1/2 Rating: 5
