Lighting confused about led for veg

[Po boy]

i've vegged plants for several years - i know cfl's work great for the veg period but i'm just tired of adjusting them and also the heat they give off.


i was thinking California LW 100 and sent a message stating it would be for veg only. they replied that the Solarstorm 110 is not a stand alone unit and i would need to 220.

wouldn't a 110w be okay for veg? i'm confused.

no, because what they dont tell you is that it states 110w(83 actual watts) but the actual draw and output is alot less. I have the 220w(165w actual) cali solar storm in a 2 ft. x 2 ft tent and it does this for my plants..

This first pic is a plant in a 16 oz. beer can for a competition...


these are in 1 gallon smart pots...


I love mine and it works just great for what i am using it for. The actual wattage is not indicated in the titled product, so look for the actual wattage when shopping for a led!:thumbs:

Look into mars reflector series, 2 lights in one...
