Budget First time grow critique
Ok I'm trying the led for a little while. Lets see what it does :::fingers crossed::: Wish me luck. If the plants start looking bad I will swap back to the metal halide.
Also for anyone interested in DIY LEDs I got all the parts from eBay , here's a part and approximate price list
50w blue and white epistar emitter 36v 1.5a - $20
Large aluminum heatsink about 22"x 12"x3" & approx. 10lbs. $45
36v 1500mA led driver - $16
Power cord from rrod Xbox 360 - free
Misc- solder, thermal paste, wire, terminal, ect $15 from radio shack
Here is a pic:

The plants are doing so well so far I kinda feel like I shouldn't swap the light, but I would like to use some DIY led stuff that I have laying around. And this is kinda a practice run anyways so maybe I'll learn something.
If anyone would like to lay some wisdom on me it would be appreciated thanks.
