Use the same amount of plants in a plot and compare a 1000 watt HPS with 1000 watts of red and blue. Since blue isn't up to spec maybe 800 watts of red LED + 200 watts of blue CFLs, or whatever ratio is optimal. Maybe 200 watts is more then the plants can absorb, maybe it's not. I don't know. A small amount of UV in there as well. Not to much though, and not focused in one area.


Dude idk man...your still not getting the picture..the whole idea of using leds it to cut down on power..a 1000 watts of leds...oh shit that would be a ton...u wouldnt have enough space...unless your running high watters ....the whole idea is too keep power down and wasted heat/light and plant intake of needed NM's up...
