So when you say "grow students" does then you are a teacher?
And im the one saying LED dont get the weight! I dont know about anyone else. There are pros and cons to all the lights whether you run Double Ended, Single Ended, LEC/CMH, or LED.
But if you really think Double Ended lights are even comparable to LEDs in cost to profit margin then i would ask you to show me proof.
Cause these plants of mine are grown under DE CMH and they are at week 6.
I do this for $$$ all im saying is if your doing it for $$$ then you would NEVER get the same weight of LEDs as DE. And since weight is money i definitely would never go back to LEDs. I could has numerous customers at my store that actually are members of this site verify this very statement!
If you cant manage heat- go with LED.
If you want to cut down on electricity go with LED.
If you want some good quality smoke go with LED.
But if you want to make way more $$$ and yield significantly more DEFINITELY do not go with LED!
If you want to get those $200 LEDs off Amazon then more power to you! But if you want to grow like the big dogs! You arent going to be spending no less then $800-1500 a light for a commerical LED. You have to imagine... Im in retail for growing equipment!
You might (if your lucky get your LB per light) with LEDs. But im good when im getting 2.5-4 lbs per light!
Plan and simple!
He is talking about samsung boards. The other leds anyone would argue against de’s are samsung strips and cree and other top cobs. I have not switched. I run a small single ended 600’s room. But there are many 3 lb per light grows using hlg and timber style led on the forums.
And i am the first to argue against hyped led info.
And the $250 price is chinese knockoff builds and kits. Not cheap amazon sold stuff. It costs about half of what HLG charges.
