Newbie LED questions

Discussion in 'First Time Marijuana Growers' started by Budd, Nov 6, 2006.

  1. It's ideal to have a passive intake at the bottom and and draw the hot air out from the top, right?
    I want to use LEDs for the veg and cloning chambers, and HPS for the flowering chamber. Somebody told me with LEDs it's most efficient to use a device that will give the LEDs a surge of power to become real bright, then off to cool them down. This cycle would happen every 3 seconds or so. Anybody know what I'm looking for?
    How do I know the correct ratio of red, blue and UV LEDs?
    I'm sure I'll have a ton more questions, but this'll do for now. Thanks ;)

  3. Yes.

    Dont know smack about LED's, but from what I understand its alot less wiring just using a CFL or tube for veg, then swithing to HPS. If you have an HPS ballast, why not get an MH conversion bulb?
