and dont listen to people (whove never touched an led system) when they spout their crap online.These are the folks that no-one listens to in the real world anyways.Find out for yourself, hell, you already made the leap of faith, and dont sweat it-you'll get something back for your investment. Theres some good people here, and if ya need any help, holla-peace

No, not at all.I'm sorry if I came off the wrong way with that last post-it certainly wasnt aimed at you.I just thought someone was giving the guy that bought a ufo a hard time, not you, and was trying to offer some reassurance.peace

i have 2 ufo led and have had mix results with them
they are generation 1 so that could be the problem
i would like to try the new gen 3 350 watt mega light...but its 1250 dollars......just too steep
u can get a digital 1000 watt hps and mh combo from htg for less than 400$
i know its apples to oranges but oh well
i had a decent grow with them but now i just veg them in my aero setup...although i like t5s better for veg
if i had a small space and heat and electric was an issue i would be worth a try
build a small single aero system and see what u could yield..........im a bigger grower and space is no issue

whats up man? you got my wheels turning with this single aero-system idea.It's just so efficient, and would definitely keep in with the whole micro grow idea.Small, clean, efficient-damn good idea.

Hey guys, I'm pretty new to the whole hydro thing, although I'm getting to like it, and if anyone has any links to a good diy thread on a simple aeroponics set-up-I'd appreciate it. btw I added a little himalaya gold to the flowering tent today, heres a pic

Nice set up you got going there. I will be watching your grow...I am highly interested in a LED set up. I almost purchased one for $600 but since I didnt know anyone that has used one...I just bought more hps lighting and figured to hold out for awhile.

I wish you the best of luck

thank you, and to be honest, if you're in a position to grow with hps, I would, theres no need to change at all.One thing you could do is experiment by boosting certain spectrums already flowing through the hps-I added 100w of 660nm red to an hps grow and with an established strain-nightshade-the trich development went through the roof.Heres a pic.

It's almost hypnotic-I'll stare in there for a good half hour -until the color drains out of the rest of my field of vision-no kidding-it does something weird to your eyes.Can anyone explain this?"
