kia has name brand headlights and electronics too. :-)

And some good marketing has Hyundai competing with toyota. So maybe sf is like hyundai.

of course with their new off brand diodes they are switching to they are merely a yugo. :-(

Lol l knew a guy that bought the yugo

All true. My neighbours all have fords. Like real Ford truck guys. (Hps=Ford. Strong @

I drive tundra because, it’s proven to last and retain value never let me down.
toyata=led. Never quits. Little weaker, but fuckin thing will pull an airplane)

When you bought your truck, did you know toyota was lying when they said it got 75mpg?

I think you’re confusing that with Volkswagen

whats one dictator’s car company to another. ;-)

got to work the lights whatever they are.

I agree but still no comparison in my experience.

I agree but still no comparison in my experience.

im only using single ended 600’s.
Honestly i still have seen very few led grows beating double ended 1000’s. I think we may jive with certain gear better than other is more of a factor. Its still mostly the grower responsible for results.

The only real argument is efficiency. And bars can get very close for the power so are great for lower spaces. If you need added heat. Efficiency goes away quick.

And my plants average 12 ounces a peice not 4. I think 14 is reachable this next time.

My experience is with hortilux single ended 1000’s, I could only get 2 3/4 lbs per 1000. I’m going to be closer to 4 lbs per 680 watt led this next harvest. Like I said no comparison from my experience! You guys have a good day.

i have not beat 8 yet but in a 3 gallon nursery pot. (Really 2.4 gallons volume).

But thats all relative to space, wattage and a bunch of other variables.

Good led would put down more light. So likely with practice more yield. Not arguing about efficiency.

LEDs are more efficient. But I don't know about yield per square ft. I doubt they beat hps.

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.

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.

4 pounds lol. Why do I even bother.

 

[Mr.GreenthumbOG]

@1diesel1 what was this thread about?

Place for us dummies to have some back and forth.
Keeps it from spilling into everyone’s personal threads.

 

[MIMedGrower]

4 pounds lol.

its like olympic snowboarding. They keep jumping higher and higher out of the half pipe.

Obviously takes the right strain and a lot of practice.

Maybe. Takes a while to understand everyone’s personalities through this.

A properly shaped half pipe allows them to go higher though.

Its hard anyway in writing.
