Not saying LED's aren't better more efficient etc. Just saying that best results found will be the results you find on your own. I currently have two 1k HPS lamps. Now I'm thinking about doing a side by side like these guys......
I am going to do a side by side test also. I have the skills necessary to build a formidable LED panel and looking at that video I see that I could pretty much replicate that big panel of theirs. Sure wouldn't cost that much to do either. I find that my present plans are going to force me to buy another light anyway, so I might as well try this.

I have been thinking about this for some time but wasn't brave enough to try to DIY LED on my first grow. That video was mighty impressive though and if the numbers are right, it makes no sense not to try this just for the monthly power savings alone. Then you factor in the lack of heat issues and the longevity of these things... if it can really produce quality grows, it makes no sense not to try it if the initial cost can be brought in line. I bet I can build it for about the cost of a good HPS though. I will have to just throw the parts together that I think they are using and compare it with a HPS system. If it looks like I have the intensity right, I will do a side by side with my HO Florescents and see how it does. The challenge is on!

LED????? any one that thinks that leds are bullshit...check out this new gizmo....fuck hps,leds are going to take over....this vid proves that leds are twice as efficient as hps and natural sunlight...and its less harsh on your bills too..theyre expensive but well worth it in the long run.....
