Led harvest

Just harvested my first grow of 2 plants a special queen and special kush from rqs I used 2 less at a total of 1600w but that's led watts in normal watts it's about 275w anyway I got 62.56g from my queen and 117.29g from my kush I'm happy with that but feel like I should have had bigger colas!?!?. So I'm think of changing my light source to either 600w metal halide or hps to see if that changes anything. Attached is my harvest from my kushIMG-20181022-WA0009.jpeg

Hey, I'm not being smart , but having a smokeable harvest from your 1st grow is an achievement. My 1st grow 5 years ago was barely smokeable, the thinnest airiest "buds" ever.
If you can handle the temps from HPS go for it! You're defo a natural, anyway. Congrats :)
P.s - Photos or Autos?

Either run real leds or cmh. Those cheap leds are leds with training wheels.

Yeah I get that but my price range didn't stretch that far so for what I paid I don't think it's that bad tbf
You have to look at it like this though. You got .6 grams from 275 watts. If you do it by their 1600 watt claim it’s a mere .1 gram per watt. Work on getting a better light led wise or cmh you’ll get a better harvest.

If you go HPS check out the Double Ended set ups. Also check out a Ceramic Metal Halide to add in the mix for better light spectrum.

Oh I know I've had some that have been 1ft long and rock hard. Though I'm trying cmh lights now and love them so far
Back in the day I grew with HPS but hydro was dirt cheap then. Also I’m venting in the room where the tent is rather then straight outside so heat would be an issue for me with those. I was really impressed with the results under the led. Rock hard nugs. Not a foot long yet but I’m dialing things in lol.

Yah all my rooms are dailed in pretty well except for my experiment room because its always changing. But for me everything is heated and cooled by its own geothermal hvac setup.

For the moment I’m restricted to a 3x3 tent. We’re in the market for a home and let me tell you, my most important criteria is a proper grow room. My wife just doesn’t know that yet lol.

leds are hands down shit only a real spastic would use leds and claim there good in a bunched manner they are good but to be honest who in the right mind set a whole room with led ? when u could run a full mh hps or even a cmh system ?
