    Leds.
    Around the forums I'm seeing good results with leds. I was thinking of starting a new 5x5 grow room with high powered leds.

    I saw some Philips Luexeon K2 leds that are in the 1000mA range per led.
    Red spectrum has 140 luminens per led and blue not sure but it has 1A of power.
    So, a project involving 100 of each, even though you only need a 70% 30% red to blue ratio. is still a lot cheaper than buying led grow light gimmicks. And DIY is more powerful.
    For 100 of each it $1000 a large investment but i think it might be worth it.
    How would I go around soldering it ect.

    Any input or ideas would help.
     
  2. If you're doing this to experiment go for it, but if your spending a 1000$ on lights anyway, why not just get mh/hps gear?
