yes if you buy pro 7 UFO's. I have a couple of them and they are expensive. But it is "easy" to DIY led style ufo, and only cost about 40$. I have a friend who makes them and uses them and claims they work the same.

In simple.terms a 240 watt LED light will produce just about as much of a yield as a 600 watt hps with a lower electric bill and its easier to keep temps level with no heat being given off. Also great for stealth grows if your in a state that isnt legal ;)

Now that's a large exaggeration... A BS 240 has an actual wattage draw of around 130w, not capable of producing more than a 600w hps (as tech. stands...).

I'm also glad to see your grow looking better.

P.S. I also believe your UFO's draw 70-90w a piece.

Current*Voltage=Wattage i.e:
Say I'm driving 40x 3w diodes at 700mA. Each diode has a forward voltage of 3.1...
.7*3.1=~2.1w per diode.
40 diodesx2.1w=84w total.

This is just an example, I'm sure you can plug in your own variables and find out the actual wattage of your own LEDs.

Have a good one.
 
Thanks hilo and you like what i did to them? And the mylar? :) thanks for checkin in. Very appreciated :) im not a technical guy im just growing some good looking plants :) thats all i know!! Haha

And if your right then im still pushing around 600watts give or take a little ;)

Thats only like a 45 watt difference man that doesnt really mean anyrhing. Whats the point? Lol im lostttt

It just showin the difference between the two different methods. I know its only a 45 watt difference but the video shows how bigger plants get with led over other methods.
