i can't believe i didn't see this thread earlier!!!! i love me some good shit talkin!!!
I don't have the data, experience, or proof about any of this i saw it all on facebook!!!
two things are lies and one is true.... can you guess which is true???
HID (hps/mh) lights are old and outdated, no new tech just the same old same old!!!
LED is not worth using yet, just not there and a long way off!!
ceramic bulbs is where its at people!!!!
one true thing is, i never would sign up for social media.... f@%k facebook!!!
...... alright, let me have it!!!!
seems many forget led only just recently matched de hps with 700 watt plus huge bar lights. 4x the money and 4 feet square huge heavy lamp.
so much for the years of previous claims. We should just forget the manufacturers lied all those other times. ;-)
There are pros and cons to both lights, but when people act like HPS is some ancient, out of date technology, with no use.....it's just ignorant IMO.
Oh, and the liesI just seen a 1000w LED for $169 on Amazon, but in fine print it says 100 actual watts. Some companies are still lying to this day lol.
a company called grow green Michigan seems to sell pallets of gavita de hps lamps and pallets of gavita led lamps.
Both sell out quickly. But the deal on 1000 watt all in one de lamps bulb included is $250 each and $950 for the special price on the led. You can get years of replacement bulbs for the difference and still be much cheaper.
You can buy the 100w hlg for $150 and free shipping. For some reason they don't call it a 1000w. And they show the real spectrum and ppfd numbers. I bought one to try last summer and now have 4. If I lived in a cooler climate, I would probably still be using MH/HPS.There are pros and cons to both lights, but when people act like HPS is some ancient, out of date technology, with no use.....it's just ignorant IMO.

The only downside I've seen so far is they are too cool in the winter. I still have mh and hps. I mix and match -swap lights without any stress. Haven't seen a hermie yet.Yes, some companies are honest, I was just referring to the liars. I heard good things about hlg too.

I liked my philips 315 cmh paired with a 600w hps for better results. Alone it is a bit low powered for flowering.
Was that as exciting as you hoped? ;-)
"chippin" aint easy dawgYou are part of the 0.4% of vehicles that are electric, good for you. Late to what party?? Because I haven't used an LED light? I didn't say anything negative about LED's.
And people were pulling 3-4 pounds per light with HPS and RDWC, back in 2011, that is well known. Seems LED is late to the party, finally getting numbers close to HPS, it's about time.
the crafty would go rip one from a junkyard.yep oops 40 bucks a year more, well at least the fixture will outlast my bulbs which are...hmm...replaceable. The LED light longevity claims are FALSE, unsubstantiated, and pertain only to the emitter. 50,000 hrs 100,000 hrs life expectancy is abject nonsense. I'm not saying led can't grow fantastic weed, but cost effective replacement for HID is no where near the reality reported by its own peers. Oh ever have to change your led taillight? Same bullshit, all made for a throwaway world. An 1157 incandescent bulb is under 5 bucks, and melts the ice forming on your taillights all winter. Your led taillight module with a 35,000 hr life expectancy, is 1179 dollars , and isn't covered by your powertrain warranty. Try replacing it in 8 years LOL Whole car obsolete and fails safety because of an unavailable, obsolete led light. Wonder why you can't get a loan for a 5 yr. old plus car? LOL
Is my LED Shitty first one I've used? Before you tear me apart for buying this let me day this. I won it for a grand total of $0 in a contest so for $0 how did I do and how would I have done if I bought it? Is it any good? Only used it for 6 weeks and I'm in View attachment 1121526View attachment 1121527View attachment 1121528View attachment 1121529View attachment 1121530View attachment 11215317th week of flower today
I said the same thing some people trashed me on another forum for even taking it because it wasn't the brand the like so I was making sure I'm not a complete fucking idiot for replacing the 1000w HID because the heat from that in a tiny ass tent is too much unless it's -2 outsideYou got a $1200 light for free, I'd say you made out real good.
