Does anyone veg under L.E.D's and have a journal I can see?

[Tricknology]

I need some advice from led growers. Im not flowering under them I just want to use them to veg. I read post on another site where a few people stated that a 300 watt led would blow out a 400 watt hid in veggin. If anyone has a journal I can check out it would be helpful, also what would be the best brand to get? All opinions on this matter are important to me. I want fast bushy growth but not hid fast if you know what Im trying to say

much thanks to all in general wth!!

Thanks M!

I was just going to say have a look right now I am vegging with MH and HPS but only for heat, cause I need it!! I prefer LED for veg. You should get a veg light spectrum LED or one you can change. I will go back to veg under LED in the summer

ok so the 120w from ebay is generic? like from china with no brand name? and how long do you veg for. Im looking to veg for no later than a month with the expectations of 2 feet before I flower. Thanks again bro and your grow looks sweet@!

I veg 4 to 6 weeks depending on which strain I am growing and if I have done any topping, lst, or supercropping. Plants end up 12" to 18" before going into flower

Hey guys, popping in to add a few questions. How long do the little bulbs last on average and how would you go about replacing them?

 

[theengineer]

50,000 hours, on average, and I guess with a bit of trial and error, plus a soldering iron, they could be replaced - PlatinumLED give a 5 year warranty on their units, though

Wow very nice, so essentially no worries about bulbs burning out. Does the light they give off diminish as the product gets older?

 

[theengineer]

I don't believe it does
