Quote: dont bother with LEDs. they may veg a plant, but they dont do shit for flowering.
I totally disagree with this statement, LED tech. has come a long way since the first UFO setups were released. In a side by side comparison, HID lamps like an HPS will outperform LED's, but on the other hand if it was a choice between floro's or LED I'd go with the LED (well I'd go with neither since I prefer HPS lights ).
people are comparing 300 watt LEDS to 1000 watt HPS.
What about a 600 watt LED vs a 600 watt HPS?
aren't the LEDs providing only the light that is absorbable whereas the HPS is wasting a lot of light in the mid Kelvin range???

From my research and talking with ppl...i have learned that there are great systems out there that can rival HID. I still use HID though....why? well prices are ridiculous right now....but im lookin into making my own panels to cut down on the cost.
you'll save a lot in electricity bills. also it's under the radar. can't put a price on that.
