Culture under leds

Post your results when you can. Recently came across these and wondered if they where as good as they claim. More light per watt with less heat.

I was also looking at these. Please update results.

I read that only the really expensive ones (hundreds of USD) worked well so I bought a T5 high output instead.

I would love to augment with an LED if they do produce as claimed -

Happy Gardening

The heat is brought by a heating carpet.

Door transplants Powerfull F1 and 3 gourds of the Siam are germinated: the 4 jars were under the red and blue leds and on the heating carpet. In their cage in frigolite, the coldest temperature was 12 °C during big frosts of Tuesday and Wednesday.
Tomorrow sowing of 2 melons and 2 cucumbers which will be more grafted on stocks "cucurbit".
