Looking at trying LED again. My first attempt was a failure. The amazon blurple went to the dumpster. What should I buy to replace a 150w HPS.
That would be 60w/ft. A bit too much, unless its dimable.Try out those 240w kingbrites everyones been loving so much?
I got one off amazon, not kingbrite but same style anyway, samsung lm301b diodes. I got mine @3000k for flowering but you can get them in just about any configuration you want
It is dimmableThat would be 60w/ft. A bit too much, unless its dimable.
Thanks for the info i'll check it out. Have you finish a grow with it yet?The Viparspectra Pro Series P1500 is 150w quantum board also, i have one and my plants seem to like it :) also has nice dimmer knob
No the pics i just sent is first grow with it. Still have im guessing a few weeks or more left.Thanks for the info i'll check it out. Have you finish a grow with it yet?
Nice. Very nice.This is under that p1500
I recently took the leap and bought my first LED after YEARS of being hard core 1000W HPS guy but a friend convinced me that the Fluance was out performing his DE 1000W so I decided to give it a shot. My advice is to spend the $$$ and get a good light because with HID or LED you will get what you pay for. I know you can get good LEDs for under a grand so maybe a Loriflux or Gavita... Fluance id made in USA if it matters to you.Looking at trying LED again. My first attempt was a failure. The amazon blurple went to the dumpster. What should I buy to replace a 150w HPS.
What yield can be expected from the hlg 100? Any guess?If I had unlimited funds I would go gravita strips. I don't atm so I went with HLG as I feel the customer service and being in the US plays a part worthy of a little extra money. Kingbright are a great budget option if your looking bang for buck.
It's not at all unreasonable to expect a gram per watt or more with someone like you who can grow. Now of course this depends on strain veg time etc also.What yield can be expected from the hlg 100? Any guess?
The reason I'm considering switching is to lower the temps. I have a 2 x 4 exhausted outside. I use two 150w hps. Works great in the winter, but I can't do anything in the summer. It's already too hot here.It's not at all unreasonable to expect a gram per watt or more with someone like you who can grow. Now of course this depends on strain veg time etc also.
It will change some things in your grow though. With the IR like your HPS has you will likely need to run warmer temps. Best to dial those in with and IR temp gun.
What size space are we talking about?

A 240w would be perfect for that.The reason I'm considering switching is to lower the temps. I have a 2 x 4 exhausted outside. I use two 150w hps. Works great in the winter, but I can't do anything in the summer. It's already too hot here.
