Artificial Grow Lights

Ive had a lot of experience in growing with HPS and MH lights as well as the latest Technology LED grow lights.

If any one is interested in grow lights I can help.

Again helpfulgardener should make this a main topic and welcome the cannabis growers as they are growers too.

I'm not one myself but grow veges under lights like beetroot..

what kind of LED light assembly did you use?

I have a little bit of electrical knowledge so I tried to assemble LED grow light myself by using LEDs from ebay.
one time I helped a friend and I built a 45w light using 15x3w diodes and each diode contains red and blue chips with a ratio of 2:1 it was a great success but I won't go into details about what kind of plants he grew 8) .
the second time I used at one piece 50 watt lamp I bought on eBay the ratio between red and blue was 4:1 .
I only wanted to use it to keep my pepper and basil seedlings alive during the hardest part of the winter but it was a failure and they didn't grow at all

123 wasn't talking about LED, he was talking about high intensity metal halide or high pressure sodium vapor lights.
