@AsNoriu, LEDs grow just like any other light can grow. LEDs are just not that good bang for the buck and have a very high probability of burning someones plant (unless they are good growers or are experienced in what the leaves are telling them... like you said) I will say the very expensive LEDs with dimmers work really well. But most people cannot afford them. If you are growing a small amount (a pound or less) T5s and HPS seem to me a much better financial decision. After all you are getting the same weed (a 1000 watt light of any type should get you 1.5 lbs dry) Also, in a situation like you have, where you don't have a lot of electricity, LEDs can ge a good choice. Less heat. Less cooling requirements, less electricity. I do think the great LEDs will start coming down in price.... especially when the FEDs legalize weed nationally. Then everyone will grow outside and it will cost $10 an ounce. Indoor growing will be like micro beer a specialty item worthy of a higher cost than outdoor weed that might have trouble growing in that area. Glad you have a grow-teraphy room. Know this forum is just opinions. And whatever works for one might not work of another. Growing is very personal but the more of us that grow the faster the Feds will legalize it completely. Kind of like alcohol prohibition. Cheers.
