So lack of heat production is not going to necessarily be a bonus to all!

I agree with your concerns on mh/hps safety, just another thing to get paranoid about while your waiting to harvest!

I would be interested to smoke a led grown bud, any other differences become null if the buds are better, size isn't necessarily the objective but quality, both if you can manage it!
I too would like to try a LED grown bud. unfortunately I haven't heard of anyone getting through a harvest using just them. All that I've seen required supplemental lighting from HID's or floros just to get a half assed crop. I like the single light grows on a light mover. less hazards and worries.
