Led Light Solution?

[CaptainFerret]

I have a GL60 that i use to flower 4 plants under a 150 watt hps but the grow tent gets too hot and has caused my last crop to have airy buds not so much dense. I have a DIY bathroom exhaust fan that carbons the air at the top so i cant do a cool tube or nothin like that with the hps. I was wondering about running this 240 watt led grow light instead http://www.htgsupply.com/Product-7-Band-240w-LED-Grow-Light.asp# its a fairly good price... which has me thinking it might be a bad one. Can someone please give me some advice.

Check out my thread one system uses DIYish (household) leds. Within 5 days of harvest. Lots of pics along the way from seed

Nice

Nice

Read your thread shows it can be done nice... But i also want some feed back on the light i posted in the previous post if you dont mind. The price catchs my eye but from what ive read its possible it might not be a good light? Please give me feed back

It sounded really good until I saw the 390 & 850. Both should be on their own separate o/o switches as they are not needed until flower, and 850 only for ~ 10 minutes once main panel lights are off

Thanks for the input ive already been looking at the diamond series xml 150 everything about advanced led seems pretty reasonable. My next question is im stuck at 50 inchs of height that i can use thats excluding the 3 inchs from the light then the 12+ inchs of distance from canopy then the pots which are 3 gallon smart pots thats anotehr 5-6 inchs leaving me with 29-33 inchs i plan on scrogging 4 plants. will the led be an issue with bleaching?

I'm currently growing with ~600W worth of LED (two CL SS400W) power and it has been going well so far. I'm about three weeks from harvest, you can check my journal there are plenty of pictures.

LED or HID, if you have comparable wattage, you will generate comparable amounts of heat. Two SS400W brings temps in the tent up very quick. My AC is running almost all the time.
