Hi there! I have led for clone/veg. I need to get led for flowering now. Is this good for flowering?

Hi, according to dirt genius the 280w uv led light is for flowering ,and the 280w HO is for vegging. Hope this helps.

Absolutely! Very good response thus far. Also, there are still a few blue lights in the center so they know where to continue to grow to. The particular cherry tomato i am trying right now has fruit setting all over.

Yes, this is the one you want for flowering. I have had better success with veg/clone with exclusively a blue light instead of the red/blue.

One is more than enough light for that.. I suggest using cfl's for germination.. Then moving towards the led's for veg and especialy flowering

You don't. The veg/flowering it about the time the light is on. The spectrum works got both.

I have used led, but it doesn't last as long as uv....best to use uv I think

I planted the Wasabi late fall in an aquaponic system in a greenhouse at 7500' there's no extra lighting. The plant seems to be doing ok. I think it will pick up the pace as we get more sunlight. I could be wrong but I thing it is s bit of an understory plant and can do well in part shade.

My plants have have thrived with my double bright LED. My roommate who used to have a planted tank is impress with how the plants are doing. I wouldnt know about the reef capable LED

You should check out the BloomBoss PANEL 32w LED as a good alternative. It is much higher quality and it is backed by a 1 year warranty by a company that is based in the USA. It covers a 2' x 2' space very well.

yes I use one.... great light for veg or flower.. i use it for both just order 3000K bulbs for flower.. one of the best things is about this fixture I hang them vertical

I have had various results with my 8 gardens. Most of them last over a year but I have had to replace more often in my Aerogarden 6 for some reason. A few times a year they have deals on lights so you can stock up. Otherwise they have an LED option now that should last many years. I have 2 of those and they work great.

Hey David, if you looking for a light that will supply light dirtying the winter for you house plants the buy. But if you looking for vigor growth these aren't for you I have done the research and these LEDs are only one watt chipset, spend the cash and get a hydro blackstar 240w it's the best for its price and they are the at least 3 watt chipset Alan's they provide wonderful par to your plants

Veg is excellent! With flowering, the light coverage is excellent but you have to buy 3k color bulbs and I'm not so sure on its ability for light to penetrate down into canopy. To make t5 flower successful you need to scrog, supercrop or get many nodes on canopy and you'd get amazing colas. It was worth the buy for me as its clean, barley any heat and light coverage was great for bushy and low plants.

I have just started a grow, so I'm in veg state. The unit has a combination of veg and bloom led lights, blue/white and red. At the veg state it seems to be just what the plants want.

Wowww so much miss information, photosynthesis peaks at red and blue for all plants, red is just more stimulating to flower production. This light will work JUST FINE for a 2x3 area and your seedlings will not be leggy, just position the light as close as you can get it while being high enough to light up that area. That will be the hard part, as LEDs are very directional and don't spread light over a large area like cfl or incadescent.

Hello! There is nothing extra that's needed to compliment this light's spectrum for flowering as it is already the absolute most complete spectrum that you can create using LED lights once both switches are used for flowering purpose. We use our proprietary 11-band spectrum which has been tuned, tried and tested for years with incredible results. If you're looking to not compliment the spectrum but compliment the *overall light footprint*, then that's a different story! 2 of these in a 4x4 tent would allow a very tight panel height above plant tops and only yield more and more. Or, step up to the 150x3w model.. Hello!

I have both the G8LED 240watt for vegetation with the 90watt red LED as to enhance flowering. They are 120 volt. I switched from 400 watt metal halides.... They are cooler and just as productive, if not better. I love them and am going to purchase more this year. Hope that helps . -Pete

I was not at all happy with the growth cycle of this bulb... The flowering stage is 12 hours on...it will produce nice fruit, but no size to them... So to answer your question, no and yes...it depends on your vegetables garden.

These are 3000 kelvin color. If you do not understand that, please do yourself a favor and go to a local lighting store to see them in person. Any light that produces 3000 kelvin will look the same with varying degrees of intensity.And as others have said, they are not good for plants. You can buy LED growlights, but they are only good in that they use very little power. And it is probably better to get a HPS bulb and ballast than to even think of LEDs.
