Hey Roborev, welcome to the forum. We'll see about them making any panel I wish. I emailed them and asked for a price on a 50 watt 735nm panel. I imagine it would be several thousand dollars.

Well, didja ever hear from these "snake oil" folks?

Inqireing minds want to know.:jointsmile:

I've been reading threads about l.e.d. My thoughts on all this is get your veg time done with alot of l.e.d, and about 1200 lumens fluorescent. When it's time to bud em out, blast em with about 600 hps more. I'll let yeall know how it goes. Trying with soil on 1st run of this project, and hope to move to bubbleponics with whatever tweaks to the light system I come up with. Your plants like the radio. Dont ask me exactly why, maybe soundwaves keep soil just right for roots? Take it easy guys

Hey guys, I didn't have the chance to read through this thread but I have two 2 x 4 foot closets and want to replace my T5's. What setups, vendors, etc etc do you guys recommend? Sorry if I am asking a redundant question but I am at work and cannot freely look at this thread, any help would be much appreciated!

Veg with the T5 in one closet and bloom with a 400 Hid, cooltube and inline fan. If odor is concern then add a carbon filter. Check Elitehydro.com can get all the stuff for under $450. digital ballast, cooltube, hps bulb, elf carbon filter and eclips in-line fan.

cannakeeper, thanks for the advice. What I really wanted to do was replace my lighting fixtures with the LEDs. There is a lot to read with certain vendors saying to stay away from certain vendors and it's tough to figure out what is legit and what isn't.. Any advice what brands, companies are best to look at for LED lights? When I do google searches, the UFO seems to come up a lot, any good?

Plant was a tasty Kush-Sage and very potent strain created in Santa Cruz, Ca. I purchased a PAR38 RED 80 LEDs and placed it under one 1gl baby during the flowering process with an added high output florescent (AWESOME). The light failed miserably compared to a nice HPS glowing upon her. I felt bad because she turned out to be a b to b+ grade (waste of time). Plant looked cool while budding. Buds didn't develop properly or fast enough and the plant morphed slightly. Much less glands than her twin sisters...

I haven't tried any of the UFO's or more spendy ones.

Tried and true the 90 watt UFO is the latest and greatest in grow lighting.

The UFO replaces your 400-600 watt MH/HPS systems utilizing truly space age technology. Emitting virtually no heat, consuming a minimal 90 watts, very little light decay, no need for a ballast or reflector; Its no wonder NASA uses LED Technology to grow plants in outer-space .

The LED UFO Grow Light uses only 90 watts of power, rendering it 80% more efficient over modern Metal Halide and High-Pressure Sodium (HPS) lighting. Providing only the exact spectrum used by plants for growth means you use less power and get more of the light your plants love. Since the UFO uses state of the art LED technology the heat output is minimal at best, keeping your climate steady and your thermal signature hidden.

The UFO is suitable for all stages and applications of Indoor/Greenhouse Plant Growing. From Hydroponic and Commercial Greenhouses to your Average Hobbyist, the UFO produces thick, dense, healthy plants from sprout to flower to harvest!

The UFO can light up to 4m x 4m or 12' x 12' as the primary light source, or much greater heights as a supplemental light source.

(of course they don't give the exact type of led used, but I'm sure we can figure it out w/ a little research.
