led vs hps?

[stra8outtaWeed]

Look up posts from Weezard.

He ran his own home made LED against outdoor grows and his LEDs won in terms of looks, smell potency and yield, IIRC.
He's a legal grower in Hawaii, BTW. The sun is real good there.

I run LEDs, too, but am not as adept.

The up-front cost is very high now. Most of the lamps you see hawked are getting mighty close to snake-oil territory. BUt if you can get your hands on some serious LED gear you will see that it cango toe to toe with HIDs and be a serious contender.

i have many old school friends who are adding LED and removing HID after watching my grows....i found most important is having the 660nm and 3500k warm white wavelengths in getting proper finishing times.

I have a room in mind its 4 foot by 10 and i want to get about 15 plants in there.. should i sell my 1000 and 600 hps and get some leds or buy new bulbs and keep the old humming sunsupplys... anyone on here using leds? how well do they work.... how high from the plants Rating: 5
