Wicked results... So is this right
So LED at .25gpw
HID at .19gpw
Badboy at .19gpw ( you have the 648w version yes?)
Way to grow!!!

Right-on bossman, but im a bit confused with herbs last post, so are leds the way forward in tents and small spaces and the Badboy for bigger grow-ops? How can a flourescent ou-perform an HID,, doesnt make any sense.

Well its not an ordinary T5 I think. I was surprised by it a bit myself and now I wonder how you cool at 10 x 4 area with those? hehe.

Dont forget I think he used a 400w hid and a 648w badboy (i think if its the 12 light).
So yeah, LED kicks butt by the looks of things. Badboy and 400w coming in an equal second.
Bet that Badboy gets warm.. my 8 strip t5 lightwave emmits a fair bit of heat.

I think at the medium level on up your talking about maximizing your yield. It would depend on electrical costs I think overall if its worth it for Led's looking at it from a large grow perspective. The size of the buds are a bit discouraging in comparison but thats hardly the whole story and I withhold opinion until I sample the quality grown from a led. I dont mean to make it sound like led buds are small, that is really not what I mean to illustrate but just what I think I see in comparison to the HID and Bad Boy lights.
Someone please correct me with merit as I want the Led to work for a medium size grow but the yield difference is vast to care to much about pure efficiency on another factor other than costs.
I mainly see for a medium style grow leds being more used for additional lighting in comparison but for smaller and stealth grows I see the advantage.
Once again, someone with merit please correct me. I will gladly be wrong in my assessment.
I also understand environmental and individual grow requirements would change the values and importance of led aspects thus favoring LED's and thus I am mainly not figuring this situations into my thinking. Such as those with heat issues and more than few other factors.

Damn!!! Badboy=Badass
Great test Bossman!!!
My feeling also.
It is my pick for a winner.
is it me or is the HID have the smallest buds too???
The pic is deceiving. The HiD nuggs were much larger then the led. And second to the Bad boy.
Damn, that bad boy did awesome! Thanks Boss.
Thanks bro, You called it.

Thanks bro,
Though the reason I did not post the GPW was I kept the Bad boy much higher then I good of. Because it is much stronger then the Led. I beleive it was more then double the Foot candles at 2 feet then the LED. Plus I could have fit 5 more girls under there. My GDP has been only yeilding 1z per girl under a 1000 watt. She has gone sour And been let go at this point.
My next run I will push the Bad boy with the goal being a pound from it. And I think it will be easy.
So in my opinion the Led was supposed to yeild as good as a 400 watt. And I do not think it did so.
Thanks for checking out the test.Kick ass Grow Bossman!!!!!

What up,
The Led would be great for 1 big bushy plant. In a space where heat is an issue.
The bad boy puts out less heat then a 400 watt HID. And can fit 8 well trained girls.
So I would recomend the Bad boy.
I am very impressed with the Bad boy.Well its not an ordinary T5 I think. I was surprised by it a bit myself and now I wonder how you cool at 10 x 4 area with those? hehe.
My next run with it. I am going to try to surround A MPB style super bush with 3 of them

I think the Bad boy is awesome. The LEd has its applications. But for 100$ less after bulbs. The bad boy
Can fit 8 verses 1 under the Led.

The Led buds were so much smaller. The density was not good either. The stoney,flavor all lagged.
So far I have sampled each.
And the Led buds where barely worth smoking.
I have shown the Bad boy buds to many grower's and they are all amazed.

I picture a 4'x3' rectangular plant about 2' thick, surrounded by 1944 watts of light. lol.

Whats the amps on those t5 12 light setups if anyone knows. I couldnt find that.
Whats the best way to cool those? Just good intake and outtake? Lots of fans? How hard is it to control the temperature with those.

If you listen real close, you can hear LEDgirl yelling somewhere.

I was debating a LED upgrade until now. I would rather battle heat issues with an exhaust setup then wait 4 months to smoke shitty dope.
I can go do that right now...! :joint:
