That's what I said but I sat back did the math, on the fixtures and buying different bulbs I've spent far over the 300 on my 2ft8bulb t5 not to mention no freaking heat and a 3 year warranty it just made sense, I also got sick of adjusting the lights but I still will use t5 for early veg. But honestly the technology is here with the led and I really don't see them going down in price that much,

thats true, i was going to build my own LED panel if anything. i think the price will eventually go down but if not ill have to set aside some dough so i can put one in a stealth box, indoor growin in FL is shit with an HPS.

Building your own could potentially cost as much as buying one, and it would really help in Florida im in Texas and the heat is outrageous, honestly the advanced led has a 3 year warranty that pays for itself if they say that the panels only last two years . I would save up and get one I'm going with the smaller scale ones only because it's easier to direct light in certain areas and not one big area

but if i made one i could be more meticulous with spectrum and size. i feel like most companies build things to fail purposely, but if you got warranty your in the clear. youll basically have that LED for +/- 4 years and only for 300 so your getting a good deal. what brand is your panel anyway? i was thinking of getting one from HTG but im gonna do some more research first.

D100, so I LST the plants and I shut the flower mode off because its just too bright when I work in the cab , I forgot to turn it back on and went back 45 mins later and these plants were already moved back toward the light and that was with just the veg part on I turned the flower on so I'll see what the results are in the morning
