   LEDs are dimmable, yes, just not the way you describe it. They are basically   
   made to blink really fast and the longer they are on vs off the brighter they   
   appear. Putting a resistor in series with them would not only be wasteful but   
   also will make them    
   stop working - they require just the right voltage across the leads to light   
   up. They do make dimmers for LEDs - get one of those. This one looks like it   
   should work and priced reasonably

   (goes up to 100W, so you can control quite a few of those LED grow lights)
