Picked up a 240 watt. Will see how it compares to a T5 grow using mixed spectrum.

So was the 240 worth it or t5 par is better

the LED is FAR FAr behind. No comparison. I am also using the 240 watt Blackstar at only 2" off the canopy so "penetration" isn't the issue. They just don't do the job! Here are my T5 plants at day 40 right now.

Oh yea I'm subbed to your t5 grow, have been just curious about the led so I'm lookin at another 2 ft t5 2 bulb to add and add more par bulbs or a dimmable 400w hps cool tube

Nice handy bit of info about Cree and their chipsets.
