this is from rumple's thread..
Summary:
Prosource's LEDs beat my expectations by a mile. I used to believe it did not matter how many watts of LEDs you put over a plant, it would come out undersized and deformed (big top with no bottom). I was wrong about this and apologizes (ok, I said it). On the other hand, the LEDs did not live up to their wild advertisement's and unbelievable claims of being able to beat larger HIDs. In fact they seemed to be unable to match the HIDs "watt for watt" output. Now I am glad we did the test the way we did it and not used less wattage.
I was impressed on how cool the units actually are and the advantages that come from this. Folks told me CFLs are cool, but compared to the LEDs they are no match. I still needed to ventilate to keep the heat from building, but the sound of my cooling system engaging became a rare occurrence. I saved a ton of compressed CO2 on this grow , this is a huge selling point for me.
Pros:
even he says theyre not worth it^^^

Pros:
- LESS HEAT! (a lot less)
- Compact design
- Low maintenance (never change a bulb)
- Better for the veg cycle (more branches)
- Easy to hang (balanced right out of the box)
- Secure mounting (heavy duty wire leaders and clip)
- Good packaging
- Easy to clean.
- No noise
- Long power cord (forgot to measure it)
- Plugs into normal wall outlet (no ballast required or special plugs)
- PRICE! ($700 each... Come on.)
- Less yield at harvest
- Not a good choice for the flowering cycle (smaller lighter buds)
- Untrue comparisons to HIDs in the advertisements and literature.
- Did I say price?
even he says theyre not worth it^^^

Very impressive LED grow. One of the best I've seen.
But $700 a pop for those lights? Wowzers.
And he even admits they aren't ideal for flowering since the yield is compromised and the buds are lighter. Definite props, though.

I'll stick with my hps flowering

lmfao......No one can mess with my led grow! First pic is my led misty, the second is my 1 watt led grow. I even grew the pipe! Jk.

looks decent but very stretched u should get some cfls to add to it.. or a HID.. looks like the main stalk is VERY thin and when/ if it buds it wont be able to support the weight..i had a somewhat similar problem.. my buds were weighing my entire plant to one side.. not a bad problem to have though

Rump says; LEDs seem as effective as a HID lamp for veg, as long as it is the same wattage.
Because of that I will never be sold on led's unless the prices were the same as HID's.
The only benefit I see with led's for veg is a little less heat, other than that why bother with them. I can fit a 150watt hps in my mama tent. A 150watt led panel is to big.
Hps wins !!

If I ever have to take a 3 month sailing trip, I'll go buy LED's...Until technology progresses, it's poop. Oh, by the way, did the salesman at the garden store mention the light fade? Yes, LED's last a long time, but only 60,000-100,000 hours. My T5's last 10,000 hours, but I can get more bulbs...Just poop.

yeah it actually started streaching after i put the light to 12/12... the plant is actually a hermie., im letting it finish for seeds then i'll try again with an added ufo possibly a 120 watt.
