Best LED grow lights?

Well chronic it's a proven fact by trichome tech that it doesn't produce as much grams per watt the HID's. Now they may be good for supplemental lighting more uv rays but still doesn't have the nut. Plus the cost of them is ridiculous.
Well I'm just a rookie with a lot to learn, and grams per watt does not concern me at all! Right now I got a cabinet that I built and it's inside a closet. Without major modifications there is no way I could use any HID lighting. With my LED the temps are in the mid to high 70's. Sometimes it gets a little warmer. My only concerns are growing some ChroniC medicine right now! All I know is that growing my own under LED has produced some Killa ChroniC! My shit is Stealth as hell and I got 5 autos to harvest in a few days. All I know is that my LED has produced for me twice now and the proof is in my grow on here! Like I said I'm still a rookie and I'm just trying to get the grow part down. Eventuall within the next year or two I will be moving out of the closet and I'll have a grow room and then I'll worry bout the grams per what and hopefully more advanced growing. I'd like to utilize both technologies like my man HudsonValley82. Until then my LED is working just fine for me and any Money I have spent does not matter to me anymore! It's obvious in my grow posted here that it works so that's good enough for me!

The best grow lights (LED or otherwise) are the ones you use to your satisfaction...


200w (approximate actual draw) Pro-Grow LEDs & some Blue Mystics, in 6 gal Bubbleponics​

Check out the UFO grow lights from gtahydroponics.com
They don't take up much space, and cover 15 Square feet per light.
I think it's a good one.

everyone sits here and talks about how LEDs are crazy expensive and that they don't work. OK well they do work and the product is of the best quality and maybe yeild is not as well as hids but they deff work and keep you off the radar which is the most important aspect of this whole thing. OK now as far as price if you were to do comparisons the LEDs aren't more you actually save money here is a comparison by the way i went with the best in the business.comparison.jpg

that comparison is garbage for many reasons: for starters you wouldn't need a 12k btu ac unit for a single 1kw light. I literally lol'd at that. Second, it would not cost even close to $500 for 6 months of electricity, the average is about $50/mo per 1kw light so thats off by about $200 depending on where you live. 3rd you still need ducting and an inline fan even with led lights. You need exhaust and intakes to bring in fresh air with co2 regardless of lighting. 4th who buys 1 bulb at a time and pays $100 a pop? I buy in bulk for significantly cheaper.

That's propaganda advertising if I've ever seen it.

also, your chart forgot to calculate the lost income due to lower yields since that led light cant cover as large of an area as the 1kw hid. I will admit that in the long run led lights will be cheaper and pay themselves off, however you're smoking some good shit if you believe that the difference in startups can be recouped inside of a single year.

The AC unit is bull$h!t and new bulb every 6 months is bullshit too. I always start out with way more wattage then needed so a 10-15% drop in lumen's from an aged HPS doesn't mean a damn thing.
