Wow, excellent work and progress, congrats.
A stupid question, maybe ... Isn't it the light from the traditional bulb better for the plants than these fancy LED lights?
Good luck!

Thank you kindly for the compliment, and for the tip! :)
That is certainly not a stupid question my friend, and is actually a common one for people interested in growing plants indoors. Because of how the plants photosynthesize and appreciate certain light spectrums that human eyes do not appreciate as much, utilizing specified LED's achieves a couple of things.
It narrows down the light spectrums needed for optimal growth. Blue light is typically better during vegetation growth, and red light is typically better during flowering. These panels have light spectrums which are optimized specifically for plant growth, so even the small 10 watt panels that I have in the tent would outperform even a 100 watt standard light bulb.
The other thing the LED's achieve is a massive reduction in power usage. LED's that utilizing only 100 watts in power can be compared to HPS lights that consume thousands of watts of power.
LED technology has come quite a way in recent years and is an exceptional way to grow all different kinds of plants indoors.
I hope this response helps a bit with your intuitive curiosity :) thanks again for the kind words and support.
Thanks a lot for your thorough answer. Understood :)
I asked because the standard bulb is way better than a LED light for humans. Yet, in your case, it is a specific purpose that merits using LEDs.
Yes, the consumption is another story ...
Have a lot of fun with theses babies :)
