Harvest time, Led vs HPS.

[xxorezxx]

Hi there guys,
I have been growing 6 mobydick xxl dinafem, the vegetative stage of all of them was under a 400 mh then I put 3 of them under a 400hps and the other 3 under a 1800w golden ring master grow Led.
The ones under the HPS are bigger than the ones under the 1800w LED, but they have less trichomes compared to the 1800w LED.
The ones under the 1800w LED seem to be ready to harvest, because all of the trichomes are cloudy in comparison of all the transparent trichomes of the ones under the 400hps. Also, the the buds of the ones under the 1800w LED seem to be the same size from 1 week ago, and the ones under the hps grow constantly.

What should I do? Harvest the ones under the LED first? or give them some time?

All of them are 55 days old, mobydick xxl dinafem, same soil, same nuts.
First time growing with LED, I received the LED when they had like 20 days, so I decided to try if it makes a difference, but I may have stressed those girl when I changed them from HID to LED, I don't know, It would be great if someone explain me why this happened. Regards !

How many real watts was the LED, I take mine at about the same number of days but my LED usually look ready faster.

450-500 real watts

I think you should mix the lights up in a single room if possible, that way you'll get a nice mixed spectrum with the ability to dial down 1 room with the same feed,temp ect.

different environments can make plants express themselves differently which effects metabolism,flower development ect. personally I'd give the led buds some time while keeping an eye on em.

I know that's a great Idea, I have already done that with a 600hps + 300w LED (90realwatts) I got 100g+ per plant (they were Cheese XXL Autoflowering dinafem) with scrog. But I like to try different setups, and love to learn more things about the topic :3. My next project is to start a DWC with the 1800W Led, I have the setup to use it with the 600hps but I don't want to due to the energy bill. In my country Chile, if I consume too much energy I can get a penalty fee.

harvest what ever is done . very interesting the led finished a lot faster must be the spectrum of light

A 1800watt led only using 400/500watts...

Would have thought that number closer to 900/1000watts, seems quite low?

Led or cob?

 

[bryan oconner]

lot of these cheap china led say 1800 but only actually pulling 400 or 500 from the wall

Yah all of mine if they're 1000 watt equivalent they pull 650-700 watts at the wall

Oh i thought he just had a 1800watt led unit/s thats true draw was 400/500watts which seemed low not an equivelant.

Thats quite low, does that sound bad?

 

[xtranger420]

Hey so you live in Chile or you stay in the usa? Y buenas plantas! Deja ir las de LED un poco mas!! Id say wait a week or so and see how it does!

It's sold by king so uses epiled leds. 20% efficient so worse than his 600w HID. Should be ok for a 2'x2' actual grow little more. The led bulbs at homedepot are better watt for watt.

No your right 400 to 500 is quite low for something that's supposed to be the equivalent to 1800 watts

They advertise it that way to sell to unknowing people. It's false advertisement but no one seems to care. They're all from china. They base a lights wattage off the max the leds could use. But they can't run that because the driver or power supply is usually rated much much lower. It's shit and good people lose money on it.

Yer i just read and it sounds bad, the hps one does look like it will end up the bigger bud but the led is certainly finishing them earlier.

 

[bryan oconner]

its just way over rated . i think this is the key to find a quality led . i bought a meizha brand it is actual power draw . i threw a amp probe on it .

Quality companies use the best leds. Which for small leds the only good ones are osram Hort series which are 60-70% efficient and cree latest bins at 50% efficiency.

For chip on board it's Cree cxb 3590>citi 058>vero 29 version 7.

If a company isn't advertising they're using those leds then it's trash.

Usually other signs too. Like bullshit imaginative advertising. Shit that sounds too good.

There is a lot to be said for cree's and i am a big believer of white light over the par hype. These seem more of a standard for led grow lights to me.
