what is the real output of the LED one ? I will guess in the range of 160watt. I suppose the HPS will be leading, but for a 5x5 I would aim for really more then that in both scenario or use both at least together! As exemple, I use 2x3000watt LED cob cree , each pull about 600watt in a 6x9 grow space , using 5x5 or so.

its kind of an ironic situation where markets fail to share real output for margin profit. displayed wattage and actual wattage (power draw) , You need a tester to see it, everyone that sells LED lights does it or so to my knowledge... there is some equivalent led but there is alot of crap too.. Upon looking, your 1200watt may draw real output of 210watt, that is getting good ratio. I would change my mind now because 210watt LED i believe to be more efficient for a 5x5 even 4x4 grow space! But I would still use both together if had no other

Getting nice result with 250 hps alone but hey.. Its my first indoor strains : critical mass photo they seem to have 3 week left they say ? So i imagine my 1200 led will be more power full. I canot use them both its hps or led for now

yep that looks good, your 250 will work, but you’ll want more soon and you’ll see why..
but good job!
just don’t push her with too much nutrients as your light is not that strong.

I would go with the led bc it is so dry this time of year and led throws off a lot less heat.

Because its really a 250 watt hps vs a 213 watt led.

It will be similar bit the spectrum of the HPS is a bit more favorable for flower.

And so you are aware that is NOT a 1200w LED you have its 210. So maybe a bit more intensity from the led due to efficacy. Its not gonna make a lot of difference but I would prefer the HPS for the spectrum even if its slight less light output.

Also that blurple is NOT full spectrum. More marketing BS lies like calling it a 1200w.
