No there isn't much to those chap LED's, if you are thinking of trying an LED, you will want to go with a more expence one's, that acutally pull some wattage. Not that it would replace a 600W HPS, but one of the 550W Californialightworks would be good, pulling 400W. LED are pretty much for control you heat, but if you want good bud and lots of it, you will have to dish out some bills for a good one. The newer COB'S are looking to be the top of the mark, but very expense. I have a 220W Californialightworks, she pulls 167W from the wall, and does as good as a 300W HPS would do, if there were any such thing as that watts. I have pull as much as 6oz with one plant under her several times.

I believe Led Lighting has come a long way in the last 6 months in the United States. California Lighting, Lush, and Kind are three manufacturers building lights that are producing some fantastic results. I am running hps 1000 watt double ended Phantom lights for flower and 1000 watt vented hoods with Metal Halide bulbs for veg right now. I hate the heat problems with the open double ended Phantoms. I love the auto Pilot controller and such but am taking the entire system in and selling it on consignment and buying the new Lush LED lights. Our rooms are small and heat is a big issue.

My Brother has a big grow , 72 plants. 3 rooms. He has been running HPS in vented hoods. He is looking real hard at the Lush 240 volt dominator xxl.
My little grow was just built to grow 6 plants in Veg and 6 in flower. We were trying to do two plants to one light. Our local grow shop ( the owner just started using the Lush XL 240 volt one light to one plant and got 20 ounces from one plant under one light . The foot print is 5 feet by 5 feet with best intensity at 4 feet by 4 feet. Im going to put 6 of these in my little room on 6 plants. Maybe 8 plants as the room is just under 8 feet by 14 feet. The three Phantom lights blow the room away with so much heat my Lung room temps come up from 65 to 72 and the flower room is over 80. I want to get back into the 75 degree f range. I could handle three vented 1000 watt hoods in that room as the heat from the bulbs is mostly carried away with the Phat fans via the 8 inch ducting. However LED IS at last here in the sense that they are now competing . When I factor in all the heat problems, cooling , blowers , ductworks, air conditioning and the cost of electricity here I am seeing far more savings on power going the LED rOUTE. 6 MONTHS AGO Everyone here was talking about Open double ended light now the talk is turning to LED.

Only growing 6 plants at a time. Rules say 10 right?
6 is absolutely fine
Yup, there is a 10 plant rule here, that includes mothers, cuttings, vegging plants & flowering plants The rule is to discourage cash croppers who wish to have considerably more plants than 10 on the go We are a personal use only forum, it's a great community with some really knowledgeable people too. But don't let the 10 plant rule make you feel that we just grow small, but some of us do - I aim for about 16 ounces a year but some of our heavier smokers often produce single plants that can weigh in at the kilo mark

Michigan Medical cards allow 12 plants per person. My wife has a medical card. We grow for her medical needs with most of it going into the making of edibles and oil which she puts in things like her tea or coffee. She uses an awful lot for topical creams as well. We have 12 plants at the moment but 5 are not from feminized seeds so as soon as we hit flower the males will be culled out. She got her seeds from England (Athabasca Pennywise, Blueberry cush and Hi Jack. The pennywise are one of the best for her symptoms . I only posted about my brothers grow because of the questions about LED LIGHTS. We now have legal dispensaries here in Michigan and lots of people are getting in cash cropping. We personally dont have the room and are just now learning indoor growing. I cant do what my brother does as his needs are way different. He has helped me a lot though as far as how to clone plants and what to feed. My flower room is only good for 6 to 8 plants( 8 feet by 14 feet) and we can legally only have 12. My goal is to just grow 6 plants but get good yield. I hope Im not too far out of line.
