Ongoing LED Grow Experiment

http://www.ledgrow.eu/

This site is sponsored by a company that sells leaf trimmers. The author hopes to sell the LED light that he is working on eventually. Even so, he seems to be sharing his information quite freely. He has a DIY guide (which looks confusing to me) and answers questions freely.

There are six different grows from start to finish illustrating the development of his design. He isn't finished yet.

He also has a page debunking exaggerated LED claims.

He answers questions too. For example:

Question: Would it be possible for you to elaborate more on the current setup? From the first prototype you\'ve come a long way with great results and it would be nice to know things such as the leds used, configuration, the electronics, size of grow area, etc. Many thanks. J. Answer: OK, I want to share most of my knowledge. In the last Set-up I have been using Lumileds Rebel LXML-PB01-0023 (blue) and LXML-PD01-0040 (red), LXML-PWC1-0100 (white), for the Farreds Edison EDEF-1LC3. The Leds of the Toppanels are glued with thermal conductive glue and for the side panels I am using specially designed PCB's with a very good heat transfer from the Led to the aluminium plate. The electronics are the same as in the DIY-project, nothing special, all Leds run at 350 mA, except the Farreds which are at 175 mA. The grow area has been the same for a long time; a box 40 cm * 60 cm, it is filled with AllMix. Vegging is 18/24, flowering 12/24. Now you have got all these details, please build a Led grow system yourself and share your results with the rest of the world.
What does everyone think?
