Does anyone have any experience with these. I got some at a estate sale, and have 2 of the 28 watts currently on 2 dwc plants. Not really sure what to think yet as they have been on them for a couple of weeks. I know the plants are really green. But so are the other plants under T8's. I have noticed that the ones under the led's have seemed to go flat on top if that makes any sense. I will post some pics later tonight when I get home.
 
Ok I got some pics now. These both are Ghost peppers around the same age and same nutrient solution in each bucket

I hope everyone understands what I mean by growing flat.
 
The led plant looks less robust. But still very healthy. Also, get some reflective duct tape for those buckets, light leaks in the reservoir are bad news.

Are those 2gal sauerkraut buckets? They look jus like the ones I stole from work last summer.
 
Your plant 1 with LED's looks like it has leaf curl from too high nutrient concentration. I would go easier on it, the leaves are too dark. The second looks healthier.
 
Thanks jonnyb, I was running the nutrients to high I believe. It was my 1st time using the Gh 3 part series and I believe the solution was around a 1000 ppm or so. They have gotten bigger now and are handling the solution better now.
