What's up guys, I was wondering y'alls opinion on this led grow bulb(the one on amazon for 14.99).I think I loaded the pic,not sure.I'm thinking of ordering 4 of these.I guess do y'all think it's a waste of time,I have no other option but would like better lighting(who doesn't:)).I have to use my existing sockets,and 4 would cut the heat back a little don't y'all think, or do I need to sick to cfl's?Thanks for any feedback

@B166ER420

if you are trying to get that full light spectrum ...you might want to consider spectrum specific T5's

I have vegged under a 420-430nm bulb+440-450nm bulb...& you WILL notice a difference
...

I can not tell you about the 760nm bulbs for flowering...but i'll know for a fact pretty soon

Well, im already using 3 24" flourescent(1@6500k,2@2700k)with 16 cfl's(14@2700k,2@6500k) all crammed into a 2x2.5x4ft box:).I just thought the led bulbs would add a different source of spectrum specific light.Do you think 4 of those led bulbs or any others would be better than 8 cfl's..........or should I leave it alone,I don't want to add to heat so im sticking W/flouro,cfl and or leds.Sorry to carry on about it Im just a perfectionist and think everything can be improved,ya know.thanx 4 ur input.

I was impressed when I watched that video... but then I clicked on his organic vs chemical video in which he made himself sound like a fool making incorrect statements about organics, so I'm not sure I really believe anything else he has to say... He's obviously never done a super soil grow saying it takes months for any in ground organics to be available to the plant -- that is just plain idiotic. So after seeing that, I'm not sure I buy his 'purple plants are less potent' theory, and I question how much he really knows about plants. He may be some kind of hydro expert maybe but he is not knowledgeable on organics.

All I had to see was the first post.I didn't know they had those blue,red t5 bulbs,or i woulda never wasted my money on my t8's.I never say don't use Mh or Hps cuz I seen badass bud that way,but I know there's more efficient ways to grow indoors.Now im positive.That bud was awesome.If you don't mind what kid of rig do you have?I don't mean to brag because im not able to post pics right now(long story),but I get nice results with my setup,I can only imagine what future harvest will be:):):):):) shit I can't wait!THANK YOU
