Yes, LED does use a little less power than the hid for the same thing, so it does save a small amount of money.So would you say you have to use the same amount of watts from LED to yield the same from HPS? Or would you be able to run the LED @ 500 watts and get the same results as a 600 watt HPS?
Would LED save you $$$?
Hey buddy I was replying to someone who said LED has more evolving to do to catch up.Get a life and learn how to grow, troll kids can't even handle nutrition right and are butthurt because the old-schoolers harvest more under HPS than their fancy 1500 bucks a piece cold light that'll save them 10 bucks a months on the e-bill. Ive seen the pics, not only here, some got even banned at another place for repeat infantile trolling...

Sorry, but I disagree. I have a 4x4 tent with a 400W hid. I veg under MH and then flower under HPS. 400W... My last yield from that tent was 479 grams dry with 4 plants. Seems that is a tad over 1 gram per watt. It's never been under 400 grams.A big part of the picture that people are missing with LED is the situations you can yield an easy gram per watt where it would be a nightmare with HID.
Is that a diy rig? In my small garden weight/gram factors dont concern me. My 2x4 space uses a diy rig that is dimmable 625w. My heaviest runs are 3 x 10z plants in 7 gal pots. I'm running vero29, 7 gen with a few cxb 3590 around the edges.I guess These aren't 18 ounce dry either

Believe what you want but I laugh all the way to the bank.
Crotch inspector and HID stoner bro boob cackling about dinosaur bulb, ridiculed and dismissed as irrelevant.Yes, I do. You want to make this a bick dick contest? I'll send you a pick of mine so you wont get too jelly

That's not what I was saying. It's not a nightmare to grown in a tent. You've got a nice little enclosed environment, reflective walls and good headroomSorry, but I disagree.

No, they are practically the same.Seeing different things about LED vs HPS online. Is bud quality and yield much better with LED
I had 4" remaining and only earlier today I used that extra because I have 1 plant, front right, that has some leaves folding inwards which is heat stress. I'm hoping the extra few inches solves this but if not no worries and I'll start some ties going to move so buds which are showing the stress.Awesome dude.. for the elder couple too! Do you alter the distance to the canopy a lot during the grow??
I see people claiming they doubled their yield using LED kind of hard to believeNo, they are practically the same.
I increased my yields using LED with less wattage than HPS. But now it's starting to get ti the cold season, so I need to decide how to deal with it. I may switch back to HPS for a cycle, or just supplement the LED lights with a small amount of HPS or maybe CMH.I see people claiming they doubled their yield using LED kind of hard to believe
Yes and no, I've been growing for 20 years and my gpw is better with quality LED. My initial impression and thoughts is that you just have better light coverage with LEDs because the light is coming from many angles instead of just one. Now I grow in tents, so I am comparing single bulbs to single LED lights. If you are growing with 6 HPS lights then you obviously achieve the same thing, but grows with a single light I think the LED is going to have an advantage. But yeah, LEDs don't turn a shitty grower into a growing god.The simple fact that it doesn't matter what lights I grow with, Yield is grower skill, period. If your jealous, come learn to grow with me.
I read a lot of post which say this, and it makes me question if people are doing the right thing using the light to heat their environments and not floor heating to warm up the roots.I increased my yields using LED with less wattage than HPS.
