IMO having grown several times with LED panels I don't think the technology is quite there yet. It is superior to most lighting systems for vegging, as the intense blue light keeps the plants extremely bushy with ridiculously tight internode distances. It seems to me that you need a crapton of money to afford enough LED wattage to get what you would normally get off of an affordable HID setup. I believe that the successful flowering of cannabis requires a full spectrum of light for subtle biological processes to occur, and the HID lighting system, particularly HPS bulbs match that spectrum closer than most other lighting systems out there.
LED definitely has potential...and I believe one day the technology will be affordable enough that some smart cannabis growers can start experimenting around with different wavelength combos and ratios.
anyway...you can check out my grows on here if you want to get an idea of the yield you can get off of LED systems...but there are a few other users that are supporters of LED systems, and they probably have much better grow logs than I
