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!!!
imo, the numbers are misleading. 648w is 62% more watts than a 400w, and yielded proportionately more. how did the badboy 'kick' the hid's ass? you'd expect the same yield from a 600w hps.
if the badboy could have grown 8 plants, instead of 3, then it'd be more fair to call it 0.51 gpw. like you said bossman, tailer the conditions to each light. now that you've got one comparo under your belt, your next grow will be more enlightening.
Thanks for keeping the perspective. I was guilty of not realizing the bad boy was more like a 600w hps than a 400.
Would it be fair to say the led performance is somewhere around 250hps? If this is the case it would be interesting to see it used in comparison with a 250w hps.
just glad this thread inst in ledgirls forum or there would be a shitload of editing going on
Great test bossmann I'll be waiting to see you take another crack at LED's, and Im super impressed with the badboy.
that pretty much sums it up for me :thinking
'nough said.
Papa
I picture a 4'x3' rectangular plant about 2' thick, surrounded by 1944 watts of light. lol.
dam those t5 badboys are impressive
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.
haha
J/K ledgirl = )
Shame about the Led buds, I had high hopes.
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:
You are the unofficial tester for this site. Your word pulls a lot of weight. Your tests are very thurogh and informative. In other words... YOU ARE THE MAN!!!
+1
Keep up the good work :)
i agree the 200w led is like a 200w hps. even phillip's rebel LEDs put out 100 lumens/w - on par with MH. i think this shows that even the best 300w LED are only as good as a 400w MH as far as yield. maybe you should only consider 300W and up to get anything worthwhile. while this round of LED didn't produce potent weed, bigkuz got crazy quality from a 576w chinese made LED - which he bought for about $750.
Didnt realize this wasnt in the LEDforum, Edit it me now, bitchy little con artist....
After going through this grow a few more times, id say you pretty much nailed that coffin closed, and through the first firstful of dirt. I just find it hard to believe your gunna be able to double or triple your yeild to the perportions shes always babbling on about...:giggle
Now the Badboy.....BEASTY! lol....
Rock on Bossman!:wazzup::beer:rock
the LED's performed nearly 2x better than the HPS
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.
52g / 180W = .29 grams per watt
76g / 480W = .16 grams per watt
124 / 648W = .19 grams per watt
So all in all, the LED did roughly 2x the yield of your HPS (1.81x to be exact), on your first LED grow ever. The buds may have been smaller, but that's what happens when you stretch the coverage area vs growing plants directly in the center. That's probably why Froggy was able to hit 43.2 grams with our 63W light (.75 grams per watt), while you came in less than 10 grams ahead of him with our 205W using 3x the power.
As per all of the side-bar conversations from the peanut gallery, I find it funny how you disregard the fact that despite poor results under all lights in this test, the LED's performed nearly 2x better than the HPS, and about 1.5x better than the Quantum Bad Boy. But we already knew that from our watt for watt test on ICMag where Hazy got over 400g out of 460W of LED, and just over 200g with his 400W HPS (480W draw). Watt for watt LED wins, and when you run watt for watt the difference in product more than pays for the cost difference in lighting. Hazy also got much larger buds under his LED's, and 9 out of 10 growers on ICMag rate LED buds as higher quality than HID. Different strokes for different folks I guess, but then again even the newbies at IC are all hitting 1.0 grams per watt or higher with bud size and quality that greatly exceeds anything I've seen yet on this forum, minus Froggy.
