Again all relative to variables but i know a grower getting over 3 with horty 1000’s. He recently changed to de’s going for 4. He will hit his goal likely.

You are happy with your gear is the only point anyone is making.

New tech can be tough for the OGs to accept.

I’m in a tight group of three of us that just switched to LED’s, that are now competing with each other. Two dirt growers and 1 hydro. It’s all for fun and the only reason I’m keeping every plant separate and weighing each one. Otherwise I harvest more than enough with hps or LED’s.

There are growers matching or beating 1000 de gavitas after replacing with 650-700 watts of led bars. Plus they can do vertical shelving and double or triple production per sq foot.

1 foot is about as close as I've been able to go with the led. Tried 10" and got bleach/ stressed. Hps can get 6-8" without harm.

Comments fairly accurate about being able to keep hps closer to canopy than led. Given good ventilation.

But, slim design of led allows for that flexibility.

Tent growing/limited headroom with led. Large scale operations with tall warehouse heights. Still mostly hps/mh.
they both serve their purpose

We should note that 100 watt led or 150 watt hps are not really high light sources like cannabis requires for proper potential.

Any conversations we have been having may be referring to multiple high wattage light sources. Big difference in heat issues , light distance, etc.

Not true, either will grow buds to full potential.

no. Cannabis is a high light plant. We are trying to get the intensity of the sun on these flowers. You disagree but it is already tested years ago that too little light reduces potency and also longer veg equals higher potential. Immature plants dont get as complex or potent. I have tested 12/12 vs 8 week veg clones and all 3 times the 12/12 plant was weaker. And smaller, thinner and lower yielding.



Ed rosenthal documented it in his book so i thought i would try too.
