im in aussie, so its very hot here, thus the LED.

vedge is going fine but it seems some plants can take the light better than others. i have been getting what looks like a snails goop trail all over my leaves, but i think its from the light..

it seems to penetrate less than hid, imo.. the light feels cool when you put your hand under it..

flower i have a feeling the bud wont be dense.. though 400-should be able to get some kind of harvest, the diodes are 5watt i assume..

my op is a mix would be ideal, a mix of led and hps..

the bandwidth has uv spectrum not sure but i think hps and hid may not have these spectrums

hey mate...ya im downunder too...ya i heard the penetration could be lacking and hotspots are common....have you seen lec cmh? pretty amazing light, very little heat, spectrum closest to sun...dense growth..only problem is just 1 wattage atm 315w

no I haven't hey, I remember plasma light was around for a while didnt know there was a new option, LED is still crushing lecy bill tho

yeah LED has come a long way, and love the idea of not having to replace bulbs :-)....but definatly worth looking into it, they are expensive at about 500 for a cheap ballast/reflector kit.....and this is only rnd 2....but rnd1 it beat the 600....
