get two hlg 260s and run them at 400 watt equivalent of a single 400 watt hid.

my single hlg 260 DOES NOT get as hot as a 250 watt hid, you want to see my grow tent thermometer buddy?

400 watts is 400 watts regardless. That's like saying a pound of feathers is lighter then a pound of bricks. As I stated before LEDs run cooler because we are using less watts compared to hps. A cheap Chinese blurple might seem hotter because it's got all that hot air blowing out of the fans on top but as for heat output 400 watts is going to put out 400 watts of heat.

ive had chinese leds, i CURRENTLY have a cree cob and a quantum board, im talking from experience of having them in my possesion

The 1000wdouble chip bestva I’m using puts out very little heat in mine what it is putting out is just perfect to keep my temps where I need them so I’m happy about that . I’ve herd the older leds were hotter . The 600 w philzon doesn’t put out any I can tell very little.

thats perfect, during the winter months having some extra heat isnt a bad thing, its when you want to grow indoors during the summer it might be a problem.

different people do things differently, what works for your micro enviroment might not work for others.

id say just get the grow under your belt using the chinese leds and see how it goes.

me personally, after reading about the blurples, decided im not willing to waste 4+ months for crappy flowers, im growing for my personal consumption. ive just come to my end of shitty commercially grown “cali” bud that gets shipped out to the east coast.

nothing that is “good” gets shipped out of state, IN MY EXPERIENCE, not saying it doesnt but what i can get is pretty much crap weed noone else wants so they ship it over because noone in their right mind would buy it in california

Same here. Basement grow with LEDs (16x 304 qbs) with some fairly cold winters here. Even with everything on and my lights all the way up, I have a hard time keeping it above like 72 in my tent right now.
On payday I am going to go buy on of those sealed oil radiator heaters that has a digital thermostat.

they just legalized growing her on oct 17 this year only allowed 4 lol . They can’t keep up on demand to sell in stores it’s ridiculous plus worse as it’s not decriminalized stupid laws. Blue cookies sound nice.

yeah im in the legal state right under quebec, there arent shops down in my state except medical.
i am also a medical patient, the particular location i have gone to was not very good.
as soon as they legalized it i started the wheels going with growing, before the full legalization there was a bunch of paperwork to fill out to be able to grow for my own medical use.
