Building My LED Light

My research found that plants do use the red and blue portion of the light spectrum for growth, one is good for stems/roots and one is good for leaf growth.

Before I add any more lights I want to try some low light type plants, but I have thought about it. I think this setup will be more than sufficient for low light, later I may add more of the white and some red, blue LEDs.
 
Hmm, interesting. I think hex tanks require FAR less LEDs per gallon. With my 15 LEDs over my 29 its not quite bright, though the other problem is they are running at less than 500mA, whereas I would like to run them at a full amp. With it running now I'd say its comparable to about 50w of flourescent, and its running about 21w (ummm, wow). I'd love to see it working at full strength.
