Gavita Pro 1650e Led Vs Spydr 2i/p

Awesome, thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for.

So even after supplementing with UV, NIR and far red he's still getting larfier flowers with less smell?

Are Quantums comparable to the newer Gavita 1650Es?

I've ran 1000w hortilux hps for over 10yrs now.
VS.
My friend runs all quantum boards.
He grows all my keeper collection. And our watts per square are nearly the same.

HPS pros:
Much denser flower.
Higher calyx to leaf ratio.
Much more trich and terps.
Lights mounted high, no raising or lowering.
Headroom

Quantum pros:
Much higher yield

HPS cons:
Slightly higher temps produced w4w (but I use ducted hoods to handle that)

Quantum cons:
Always need height adj.
Require supplemental UV, NIR and far red.
Leafier and fluffier flower
Less complex terpene production

I'm actually on this topic looking for what he is doing wrong.
He supps UV, NIR, far red, and co2.
I don't supp any of those.

Everything is comparable but not equivelant.
I think quantums are more economical so led guys recommend them before the overhyped/overpriced brands.
People that tell you LED is better are only trying to sell them or justify their investment in LEDs.

Quality over Quanity !!!
