I am no expert about leds i would like to hear some opinions. I heard many growers talk about mars hydro so you might check out their latest products.

I use Viparspectre led 1200watt

I have 2 SF1000s. I like them for my use. I just bought the second one so I haven't tried daisy chaining them yet. You want something bigger than them. Unless, you want more than one light.

If I were to buy new LED’s, I would get the white light ones as opposed to the cheaper ‘blurple’ lights. Spider Farmer and Mars Hydro both make some popular versions of the white light LED’s and from what I see, other growers get some beautiful flowers from them. The ones that are strips of LED’s on rails look to have more even coverage but are more expensive.

BTW-the HPS lamps you have still seem to do the trick. If heat and power consumption are not a huge deal, flowering under HPS lights isn’t a bad option.

HOT5s works great to.

This is a Lemon Auto that I grew under a HOT5.

 

[WeedHopper]

Yep. Ive grown under them many times with great results.

Like SubGirl, I had a successful season with the Spider brand of LED lights. They're bright enough to burn out your plants, so used under adult supervision I don't see why they couldn't be the thing for you - or use any other brand with the same specs. Good photon to watt ratio, and the scientists say it's getting still better. EZ on the electric bill. Man, that Lemon plant looks perfectly pruned. Puts my skunks to shame.

Guess I am old fashioned. Been using the same Cool Tubes for the last 15 years. Perfect for a tent.

How does it work without a bulb.

That is what is wrong.......Thanks Hopper. I could never figure out what was wrong.

I found a cheap LED to replace my 600HPS in the flower tent, and swapped one of my led flood lights out for the 400MH. Now all my grow lights are LED's and hopefully I'll save some $$$. It has already lowered the temp in the tent.
Got a lightning deal at amazon for $225.95 for a XP4000 Bloom Plus led.
