Are L.E.D.'s worth it?

[Cannagrammy]

I've been thinking about buying some Verta 8's, but haven't done so yet. I'm wondering if the plants use nutes different under LEDs. They are easily the brightest lights I've ever seen.

In my opinion, yes, LED has made my plants require more cal/mag. Not sure why, but it's a thing, lol

LED's are the only lights that I have flowered with in 8 or 9 years of growing. Did use some flouros for vegging a few times. Now I use LED's from sprouting to finish with great results.

Agree with that. Could you recommend brand and model of LED lights?

I used the quantum boards and made up a nice 300 true watt light myself

Are those red and blue LEDS on Ebay worth getting or is the price too good to be true? I have a Chinese made one I haven't tried yet.

Those Burple lights are old school as far as LEDs go now , mostly white now
There are a few good cheap ones out there as @WeedHopper displayed in prior postings.
Mars also makes a white panel light too, But have had many problems in their past.
