Kyle, somebody (a student) did an experiment here on campus with pepper plants and grow lights, for botany class. Actually, there was one group just exposed to greenhouse light. The other two were a metal halide setup and an LED setup. I don't know the final results of his experiment, but I made sure all of the groups were not drying out, so I saw them every other day or so. The LED-grown plants looked phenomenal! Yes, the lights are outrageously expensive, but I think they last forever. The difference between the LED plants and the metal halide group was incredible. And the amount of light they give off just doesn't look like near enough light to grow plants!
