Search results for query: led vs HPS

Lots of mixed information online. I am genuinely curious the difference and how they affect quality and yield. Most people now adays say LED blows HPS out of the water. However if you talk to the old heads that have been growing for decades that wholeheartedly believe HPS is better. Any insight?

Greetings fellow farmers I am about 4 week out of harvest. I have been growing under a 600w led by Bloomspect most of the grow. i decided to change it out now just to see how it would affect the grow. i changed it out with a 150w hps by sun system. With in days i'm starting to see a lot more...

I have a plant that's a bad yielder, I grow in DWC. I get about 9.5 oz's in a 4x4 tent under a 600 hps. How much more yield would a get with a about avg LED 1k light?

I hear arguments for both sides, regardless of electric bills, heat, etc. Which is better for plants, LED or HPS lights? I've heard a lot recently that hps gets bigger buds than LED, that they just aren't strong enough.

Hi everyone, This will be my second grow. Last grow I used a 400w HPS cooltube, and received a free 3000w bestva LED. I'm wondering if the led would be worth using over the HPS? I know that it's not 3000 actual watts, but it's pretty close to the same actual wattage of the HPS. I'm in a 2x4x5...

Since the mid-20th century, HPS grow lights have been the best available option for commercial indoor gardeners. Thus, it’s no surprise these traditional gas-discharge lights were the first choice for many farmers entering the emerging cannabis cultivation industry. However, with the advent of...

i use a hps 400 watt. just wondering if there is that big of a difference between the two.

Currently running 4x 600w digital hps but having problems with the heat in my room. I already have an intake from outside and a large outtake fan so have had to turn them all down as an attempt to lower the temp (currently 33 c). what I am wondering is how much cooler would 4 led lights be...

Finding the right grow light setup for your indoor garden seems easy. But it’s not. It can be a bit complicated. There are so many different lights on the market and so many different customers with unique needs. Farmers, horticulturists, gardeners, and medical herb growers all need different...

Would someone please be able to suggest a good option to replace my 600w hps’s with leds. Not really wanting to go full blown and spend thousands if I can get away with it. Around 1000 would be ideal

If I have the ceiling height than is it better for yields to get a powerful HPS or COB led, or Blackdog type LED and penetrate deep into the canopy and grow taller plants or still go wide with the QB or bar style lights and grow wider but shallower plants??? (aka scrog, lollipopping, etc.) Thanks!

hps 500w vs led ufo highway Witch is better has anyone done a comparision

hi every1 I need some info please, I've been growing indoors sence 94 BUT I've been on vacation the last 9 years, I've used HPS start 2 finish sence the early 2000s. My brother was just telling me that LEDs are the new thing and better than HPS, im having trouble believing it, he showed me a LED...

Hi, so here's the new setup. I'm going to be testing the Gavita 1700e LED vs the traditional HPS DE. A friend of mine doesn't believe that LED can come close to the yield of HPS, so I'm going do do a few runs and see what grams per watt comes in at for each fixture. Haven't decided if the tent...

Ok guys iv been consistently noticing differences between my thousand watt high-pressure sodium and my optic one XL’s and even my mars Hydro TS series.... Strains I’m currently working with our white widow and black widow both from ilgm.... I’ve grown start to finish 40 black widows it’s...

I have the oddly shaped room you can see in the attached pics and im trying to maximize footprint canopy and yield in this room. i already have a bunch of phantom 1kw DE’s on hand but im second guessing running these versus going 315w cmh. i could run 12x 1kw DE’s on 5x5 footprints or 33x 315w...
