Though, what has caught my curiosity the most are some LED's. Though I have found many different name brands, but it just seems many are not as good as you would think they are for a LED type light. I've been tryn to find some kind of light that would work from seedling through flowering. I know blue's, oranges, and some red is good. But the ones I have found thus far, provide green's with blues OR red's, with some white and/or yellow and some other color in the sprectrum that isnt really needed. I dont need a huge light, just enough for testing, maybe something that could cover 2 sq'. If you by chance have a hint or a blues clue to help point me in a better "name branded or non name branded" direction for some "better quality" LED's I'd appreciate it
I can't really say who to go to for LEDs without being heavily biased, considering I design and manufacture LED panels.

I will tell you which ones to avoid, from personal experience and from reading customer criticisms. Kessils and HydroGrowLED. Kessils have horrendous failure rates, HGL is run by a scammer/snitch, ratted out someone on ICMag to the police, which resulted in their immediate ban and pulling of all HGL advertising from the site.

One thing you'll want to learn right now about LED - Anything more than 7 bands is typically wasteful, and most plants do well with just 2-4 bands, including cannabis. Of the seven bands, three are not in the visible range of human perception, and the other four are in red and blue only. Green is only a requirement for trees, from what I've been able to test. Don't fall for LEDs advertising the Emerson Effect without adequately explaining what it is - they're just marketing to you (ditto on the 9+ band lights I see out there.)

Also, avoid panels that are ultra-heavy on the red (typical 7:1:1 or 8:1 ratio) as you'll be sorely disappointed with the end results (not enough blue for bulk mass production.)
