I'm no expert on this by any means. I just started on a LED grow. My first 2 lights were galaxyhydros from amazon, priced around 120 a pop. They're doing exceptional at bringing my seedlings along. I have a glog (pic heavy) that has some shots of my progress with LEDs, if you're interested.

MarsHydro has grow lights really cheap on ebay right now. I snagged this one for 70 including shipping. I don't have a use for it yet, but when my 2nd gens get bigger, I'll be keeping them inside under LEDs.

I turned the lights off for this shot, as I didn't know why my seedlings were turning purple. After a quick google search, I felt like an idiot. They were just getting a tan...
I began this grow a little bit late in the season. It's my first grow, and I decided to jump headfirst with the goals of learning through experimentation and studying other people's successes and mistakes. I began this project in the beginning of May, when I purchased Giant Bhut Seeds and...
