LED v. HID: Vegetative Growth Back
The following test results illustrate the type of growth rates
obtained with LEDs. All pictures were taken 23 days after germination. All
were grown according to the light manufacturer's recommendations. The first pot was
grown under a 175 watt metal halide lamp (Sylvania model BT28). The next three were
grown under 12, 22, and 44 watts of our LEDs, respectively.
Please note that these were grown under our original lights. Our current
products are twice as powerful!
