I have both a 1000 watt bestva and a 400 watt HPS. Which do you think would be best for quality/ production of buds? ( Check out small description of bestva in picture)

Pulling 185 watts from the wall, that BestVA light would be about right for flowering a 2x3. Don't let the "1000W" label fool you. It's marketing nonsense. A 400W HPS could flower a lot more than that.

That's what I figured. I trust the 400 watt HPS more

I use a 400w Hps and 2 so-called 1000w LEDs that draw 130 watts out of the wall each. I use them all together as a combo and my plants grow like crazy. My total wattage is about 600 watts and I fill up a 5x6 area easy. If you can use them all together you will get a super garden with a big yield.

Really what is your yield @Trixie? bear in mind we are looking for trimmed in the final bag or jar weight. Just the fully cured weight not some new math way of expressing things.
Got to bring along @Aqua Man to make sure you stay on the up and up

Go with the HPS over that garbage. The true wattage is as @Trixie mentioned like 140w and prob 20 of those are for fans.

Imo those lights are trash cans not LEDs
