I was walking around with my wife at petco looking at cats and ran into T8's & LED lighting fixtures. Out of curiosity I started checking out the LEDs because I have heard this was a new trend in the grow community. Would this be an ideal LED grow light for Vegging/ or flowering? Full Spectrum 25,000K 312 LED Lights I believe it said only 2000 Lumens though. http://www.petco.com/product/122155/Fluval-Sea-Full-Spectrum-Marine-And-Reef-LED-Aquarium-Light.aspx
No, aquatic plants use a higher color temperature. 5700k I believe for veg and 2200 for flower. Most led aquarium lights are 10000k and up. T8s will work but you'd need like 4 or 8. And they won't be as good as a grow light, whether hid or led. Sent Via My Pokedex http://forum.grasscity.com/index.php?/topic/1305920-Kushgodrex%27s-First-Grow
