What's crackin' RIU!? For a decade I ran 3 600W HPS' when in flower for a 4x9 footprint (8-10 ladies). Now I run 3 LEDs that are around the same power, color spec. and intensity. Same everything. Same Temps. RH. food. soil etc etc. But the last three years of having LED's have been far less amazing than the first 10. The amount of trikes is still nice but still noticeably less than it was with the same strains and HPS'..

The intensity and power of the smoke once dried and cured is not as insane as it was either. Nor does it have the same stunning aesthetics as it did.

Is it just me or does everyone have this noticable difference when switching over to LEDs?

Should I add one of my older HPS lamps to my next grow still keeping the same footprint? Then I'd have 3 LEDs and one HPS lamp or Ceramic lamp to go with them? Try something else? Thanks all! Oh. I'm still running Nectar for the God's nutes by the way fwiw.
