[/QUOTE]you can't put leds in the same room as hps and try them to compare they need to be led in one room and hps in the other however some ppl recommend the hps with the the led so u can get the heat from the hps and the spectrum from the led and they do really well we took all the light out our barns and replaced all leds and couldn't be happier I personally pull way more weight off the leds with my lights on 50% thats like 300w a light we have 8 fluence spider 2i per room once u figure out how to grow with the led (cus it is different) grams per watt should be way better our last we got 1.9 per watt on a lower yielding strain but it was fires
I've got to see it, before I buy into it. On a flawless grow, which I never take for granted, under a 1K hps, I can't see it possible to fit anymore bud under the light?
I realize I've been out of the game a while, but I have a hard time believing an LED can come close. I've yet to see anyone producing well under LEDs since I've been back on the forum.
I'd like to do a comparison once things are up and running around these parts.
Vegging, yes. I believe ya can veg pretty well, same with T5's though. MH's end up making the mother plants grow too quick, so i wouldn't mind an LED for veg.
I start new mother's every 8 weeks (FWIW) with the best of the clones.
Actually if someone even showed me a 3lb table, and an LED above it, I'd figure they switched the light for the pic lol.
I'd have to do it myself..
Why would a grower be able to put an HPS in a roim full of LED's? It may be true, but I'd think the supplemental light in the 2000isk K spectrum would only help.
I feel like the laws of physics are don't apply under LED by what I'm reading.
I now feel like the old man at the club .
Thing is, I wish I knew as a kid what I know now.
I'm only confident with a few things in life these days. Growing is one of them.
My system is tried, and true, plus I'm very competitive. Once I get back in, I'm taking over. Yeah, I know that's a cocky statement, but given the opportunity, in time I honestly believe I'll get to the pinnacle quick. Not only growing, but with my genetics, and breeding.
I attatched a pic of how a clone should grow every time. It's hard to believe, so I posted a pic...A clone should be growing even before it shoots roots. Once i take em out of the domes (I hate EZ cloners), they only need to be vegged a few days, to a week. For trees, a 2 week veg, and zap em under the hps. My plants will consistently go from 12-14 inches, to 5-7 feet during the 3 week stretch.
Ih, i stopped using Rapid rooters. Rockwool only.
I don't remember the X in that plant, but I believe it's one of my keepers. Anyway, that's 2lbs, under a 600. I just can't see how I could have yielded more under LED??? That was just a seed test run under 1 light-1plant.
That is not my grow style either. That's a pain in the ass come harvest
Anyway, if someone can show me around a 4.5x4.5 sq ft with a better yield, and quality under an LED, I'd be stupid not to take a look
