Cause they are lower powered lights with no spread is why you report electric savings and better growth.
How is a hps even that hot, its not really an efficient heater of air and yes the ligh feels hot under it because thatsxwhat plants like and what drives growth.
I was like you 3 years ago when I first started building these lights. 1st purchased a Blurple and I was not impressed. Sounds to me like you had a "bad" experience with LEDs. Then on the "other" hand, people say you don't even grow,That's what I have to say.Cause they are lower powered lights with no spread is why you report electric savings and better growth.
Most have agreed for years they dont yeild more and that they struggle to penetrate due to lack of spread bouncing back in off tent walls etc etc etc
Anything new to say?
I never have and never will say LED's are crap. There is nothing wrong with the latest LED's out there. They grow great weed. They are just way overpriced. It's like buying the latest phone which I never do. I always wait a year or two for the price to drop. The thing is that LED's are not following that model. The prices are not really budging and in some cases are going up. The good thing for many people is the price of HID is coming down. You can get a 1000 watt HPS setup for around $200. I don't think even LED growers will dispute the fact that a 1000 Watt HPS won't rock your shorts off with a good grow. So as LED's drive the price of HID's down more people will be able to afford a decent light.
I totally agree. I'm having a hard time deciding which way to go. CMH 315w or LED. I can't find a price I like in LED, but HID may mean having to do some costly electrical work.
CMH is something I've looked at as well. I like all the options.
You're hilarious. Did you have traumatic experience with an LED as a child?I didnt say plants cant grow without it i said it plants grow better with it and that it creqtes a superior spectrum than just taking the higher number ppfd, somthing that use to be well known but feels like weve gone backwards since leds turned up and confused the newer growers.
Its why i find the hps spectrum and cmh to be better weighted and fuller, leds are light years behind here are then the spectrum shift of multi point low wqttqge diodes is far more troublesome than a high wattage singke point.
You just dont want to admit the obvious flaws of leds
@Hybridway likes'm all! https://www.rollitup.org/t/led-vs-hps-growing.949980/page-42#post-14604580
What strain is that beauty? I have gown some purple but nothing so vivid!while this was a brilliant purple
There’s a few out there if you can find pink 2.0 the purple Pheno is vivid as hell.
I have a clock from the 80s that uses leds to display the time (7-segment digits). How many more years do you think I'll have to wait until they burn out? Why haven't they burned out yet? Under driving basically will make them last forever. My vero 18 setup from 2014 worked up until 2017 when I upgraded the chips to gen 7 for 100 bucks.
Since when did posting pics become a contest?
