Best light on the market ?

My grow space is a little different than others. My space is sunken from the rest of the area. The CO2 collects in the sunken area, when the lights come on, fans move the CO2 up and across the canopy. CO2 comes from decaying plants and animals. Soil breaking by healthy microbes creates more than average CO2.
My whole living area is high in CO2, because I burn propane for heat. I actually get way too much CO2. It's been as high as 3000ppms. I have to keep a window open at times.
Ok dude, catching co2 in a pit then recirculating for a day, ya i just grow dank with a bag of soil bottle of ferts and a lot of wattage, simple huh :-)

These light threads always go the same way lol
The best light just like the best grow method is whatever works best for the person and their situation.
That fact always gets ignored and people end up arguing over their opinions. LED and HIDs both grow great weed and both have their applications.
Anything else on the subject is simply chest puffing.
Cheers :)
Exactly, there is no "best light on the market", it's all about the light that best fits your situation!

Simply a case of led mofos not finishing what they started, the difference between them and me is i finish what i start dear boy...

Are you referring to your pissing and bitching, or do you actually have something useful to say? What have you contributed to this discussion?

P
LED will reduce heat and cost less to operate, but they cost considerably more up front. $1500 will get you an excellent LED for a 5x5. Post over in the LED section if you are interested.
Plus, HPS are great lights, no one is dogging them. I have a closet full of ballasts and Hortilux Eyes I have used over the years. There is a pile of $$$ lying there. More than enough to pay for all my "other" lights.. When you can actually "see" the pile of $$$ lying there in front of you, it makes you think.

My Bridgelux strip light grows just fine, but I'm actually considering HPS. I need the heat in winter and spend to much on the dehumidifier during summer.
Now I'm thinking of just running in the winter with HPS or going to a box made of foam insulation and running the LED. Or both LED and HPS.

Reminds me of aqn interesting thread... https://www.rollitup.org/t/led-vs-hps-growing.949980/page-41#post-14565388

No ones whinning, this is merely fact, you dont like being on the recieving end about as much as we dont like led mofos dronning on.

Until you droned on this argument never existed, smelling any coffee yet or still being an led nazi on a site of friendly growers?

:-)
I m suprised that in a weed growing forum ppl refuse to smoke something and chill out

False. There are a ton of threads in the LED subsection in which people discuss thermal management. You're the guy spreading fake info.
I think the biggest issues are the comments like “don’t need to worry about heat”, “you’ll get 15% more yield” that are causing issues and confusion. Again I haven’t tried them but I do have a strong suspicion these comments are not the reality. I’m sure they are great at growing plants though, as seen by the pics I’ve seen.

You really need to do something about that. A high CO2 environment is not healthy jsyk. So your heating with unvented appliances? At 3000 there would be incomplete combustion so now you have CO. And thank you but I do know how CO2 is produced and typical grows do not raise CO2 to those levels as the plants offset that with O2 production, that’s why I was questioning your levels but I suspected your producing those levels from other sources like you have stated.

That is my only source of heat in the winter. I don't grow in a pit either. It is about 2 steps on a set of stairs. So that is the reason. I didn't specifically plan it that way. I just noticed that it did it over years of it.
And yes, the 15% increase is about right. I've not had one or 2 grows to compare the results, but multiple grows over a couple years, and that is pretty much the total results. I'm using high quality lights, I'm sure that adds into the equation. This my experience and I'm a nobody. It's all about the flower
Oh and in the summer, my CO2 is about 2x's what's outside. I have a CO2 meter that goes off at 1000 ppms. I'll hear it once or twice a day in the summer.
It won't shut off in winter.

Ya you really need to get some fresh air into your house, 1000 is about the limit for healthy air. 3000 is redicules, might I suggest an HRV LOL.
