Hi.... I use LED Grow Master Global Leds and they work great...their products seem to be improving all the time... I have a friend who uses the Leds for the whole grow. or almost..with a couple of hours a day of extra light from a hid light.... but with a small space that you cant go installing ventalation in,,the Leds work really well....with a new technology like this every year there will be major advances so you may find yourself upgrading again in a couple of years..... hope that I have been helpfull...good luck with that :^)

You can try, but your going to end up spending lots more money. Try to research some old High Times, I think they have done some LED grows. I don't know where to tell you to begin other than, it sounds like you should really buy as many books on growing as you can to understand what the plants need and when. Best of luck to you if you make the LED panel. Let me know how everything turns out.

never used them personally. they are expensive, and not many people use them because of that reason alone. Give it 5 years until the technology diffuses, then maybe you will see them mainstream. As anhedonia said...HID is the way to go for right now, or try scrogging with floro tubes

Im sure there has got to be a good one if you did some digging. There has got to be a successful grow. You did try searching right?

Sorry to say, Ive seen a few disasterous yields that came from LED's. If I were you I would get an HID. At least with those you know for sure you'll be getting a good yield. Thats my opinion.
