I would personally buy the biggest badassed LED light I could to fit in that space before I spent $ on a water cooled HID enclosure. That is just me though.Hey, Kids! I'm really jazzed right now! Why? I'm gonna get me a big chunk of change day after tomorrow.
To celebrate I'm smoking this! And I'm gonna order my water-cooled light enclosure and second chiller straight away. Whoo hoo!
Edit:
Get ready for some crazy shit!
There are plenty here who say the exact opposite when it comes to LED vs HID. You guys are making me feel like a human yo-yo. Lol.I would personally buy the biggest badassed LED light I could to fit in that space before I spent $ on a water cooled HID enclosure. That is just me though.
Thanks, Crazy. You've become one of my favorite posters.haha i bet, congrats on post 3500 btw, this calls for a celebration.
I can't say for sure about the actual LED outcome, but bang for $, you will be saving a huge amount in energy costs going forward to say the least if you do run an LED. Pretty much remove your A/C unit. Heat no longer becomes an issue. Just need to move air. I would think you should still run several vertical side sub lights to get the best yield in your setup as I have seen you have now.There are plenty here who say the exact opposite when it comes to LED vs HID.

Also, water tube and chiller would still cost a little less than quality LED panel(s). No?
I have been intrigued if not tempted by the reports of heat reduction. So you don't use LED? You're an hid grower aren't you?I can't say for sure about the actual LED outcome, but bang for $, you will be saving a huge amount in energy costs going forward to say the least if you do run an LED.

I have been very skeptical about LED for years now, but after reading through several LED grows on here by people that know what they are doing, it really does produce when you use high quality LED's!
Do it. That would be awesome.There is a guy on here getting great results with his Vipar and another using the Solarstorm. They just keep getting better! Do an RIU search for VIPAR and Solarstorm and see what is out there. For me 2K is about what a good HID+AC+Chiller+Edison would cost me for one grow. For that kind of money you can get some killer LED setups.
On my next grow I want to try a shorter veg and concetrate the plant in a 2 foot circle to see what I can get this 90 watt LED to do. Right now I do not know how much I have messed things up with nutes, CFLs, topping, landrace sativa... I need to get a PO Kush clone and give it a try!
Hey LJ - This is getting old!What the hell is wrong now? Where's my user panel?
your a smart man mohican ... perhaps the last of the mohicans? lol , your right though a good hid setup cost a shit load upfront and then alot to run per month .... whereas leds do cost alot up front but less equipment is needed upfront and less electricity to run it all for 2000 you could nab 3 vipar A300 total 900w true led power and that would kill a 1000w hps in my opinion ..... or you could nab one of those solar storms but for 2000 thats a rippoff for sure they only run at like 450w or something like that guys raking in the dough buying up full page adds in hightimes and shit i think the units are nice but way way! overpriced. blackstar also makes some nice units but they are known to be cheap and only carry a 1 year warranty so i dunno about that. there are a few other companis out there that are making good panels as well most overpriced too in my opinion, ive used a few different types of panels in the past ( magnums are shit , spectras are ok but mike is a shitty company owner , and i had a small chinese panel that was my first buy that treated me pretty good) but by far these vipar panels blow them out of the water in pretty much every way.There is a guy on here getting great results with his Vipar and another using the Solarstorm.

Hey, don't get the wrong idea. I'm just high.lordjin, why have you ignored my calls and my emails? i can take a hint but I prefer a direct rejection of my attempts to be in contact with you. and I want to know WHY....
what up lordjin if your interested in leds come by and check my thread man the link is in my sig just started up but should be a great run even better than last run and on that i pulled just over 6.5 oz's
Alright. I'll check it out.Hey LJ - it looks like RIU is working again! Curly is the guy I was telling you about that is using the VIPAR LEDs.
Damn squirrel is eating my sunflower!
That's awesome. Thanks!Flower for LordJin:
Cheers,
