Metal Halide, specifically a Hortilux Blue -6500k, and a DE 1000w Halide-5500k, both have wider spectrum than any LED, and its a fact, plants use a great deal of light, that cant be seen. LED only produces visible light. Metal Halide, goes all the way to 2000nm+ and down to 350nm, plus infrared, which some may consider wasted energy, but, the sun, produces a great deal of infrared.

Technically when you say LED is giving more photons, youre leaving out the photons below 437nm, and above 720nm-750nm. Metal Halide, and HPS BOTH produce very strong invisible light below 437nm, and above 750nm.
Ive also never smoked any weed, as good as I was growing in the 90s, under Halide, but the FBI got the strain.

Ive been smoking since 1967, and this suff was as good as anything Ive ever seen. And we have a verified Chem91skva cut, which has been measured at 32%+ THC, though that doesnt tell the whole story. But the stuff I had in the 90s, was so potent, it ran many of my customers off. It was grown under Halide, and Ive seen NOTHING grown under LED, or any other type lighting for that matter.

So, I know, for 100% for sure, Metal Halide, can grow as potent of weed, as any light source.

And the guy at MassMEdicalStrains also agrees, and he says he has experimented, and finds that more true expressions, like would take place outside, are better, under HID, and he spent 10s-1000s $$$$ on LED, and went back to HID.
He also says its strain dependent. And I agree. Just like some weed responds better to the Solacure bullbs, than others. Plants that come from higher UVA/B levels, respond better, than those that have not adapted to extremely high light/UVA/B levels.

Metal Halide, also gives off UVA/B, and does stimulate the UV8 receptor. Just dont use a glass shield in the reflector. The Solacure, is the most efficient/powerful.

While it doesnt show it, MH flatlines all the way to 2000nm+.

You normally get flicker on led from the old tech led chips from years ago or from crap old style drivers.

After the Chinese New Year - there have been some supply disruptions. We are pushed out a few weeks. We will have better timing in the next couple of weeks as we secure all the supplies to build. Sorry for the delay and we will keep you posted.
