I look at it this way although 600 watts hid are more efficient watt per watt then a 1000 they do not come close to same yields as 1000's watt gives hahaha everyone is screaming efficiency, Everyone thinks Hid is dead ended one must remember there spending a shit more on research and development then all of LED and cree companies put together and why cause there sales are up one would think they been around the block a lot longer .. an trust me as tech gets better i wouldn't think DE is the end of the line or HID's you be wrong to say the same
I am not here to bash LED or Cob matter of fact i plan on ordering some LED's and give it a go ( not expecting much if anything they will be a good supplemental light inbetween Nano's )
We all know the LED's and Cobs grow an we sure in the hell know that CMH , Hid and plasma grow as well.
When you break it all down even for the small time grower getting into it 700 - 1000 for a real good COB or LED unit is to much
3/4's of growers can not even keep a plant healthy to complete its full cycle let alone worry about lighting its ironic how everyone tends to scream efficiency when in there drive way there a motor home , couple SUV's lol but worried about electrical costs ..
Everyone tends to think cause Hid produces heat that its so in efficient, wht bout this with fresh air coming in @ - 30 temps in winter my fan only kicks in 2 times in 18 hrs i got it dialed in perfect or i pump the hot air in room to heat up other rooms is this not being efficient, there many ways a grower can go for many heat is a good thing for instance my room lights out hits 50 degrees C thats cold there fore heaters are needed and with heaters comes Dehuey, and humidifiers etc etc etc know one has ever said growing weed is cheap , matter of fact its costly
growers today are like social media jumping on every band wagon idea or cult seriously for me high temps is needed for every 5 - 10 degree rise in temps the plants metabolic rate increases what does this mean FAST GROWTH
What makes the plant really tic ?? i know C02 and whats the right temps to keep stomata open ??? higher temps
So where are we at here ???
Again people forgetting basics of plant needs and going after light spectrum and efficiency, You can have the best lights and spectrum known to man and still grow like shit if your not getting 3 - 4 " of growth daily your your missing something
for instance here 100 days @ 3" + of growth a day giving me 11.5 feet tall by 11.5 wide plant just a example ..
Thing to ask is are cob and LED getting that growth ??? same thing should apply indoor 2 - 4 " of growth a day with everything dialed in
if your not getting that then something is not dialed in
HOTTER temps is needed for fast growth end of story
another one this is not my grow but 5 week veg
Are we seeing this type of grows with LED or Cob ?? i do not see it scouring the net and tube
What i see is extremely small plants grown and flipped to flower And most importantly sure everyone shows the cob or led graphs showing efficiency
But look for true unbiased PAR tests cob vs DE then which i cannot seem to find on the tube
And still waiting or a 5 week vegged Cob or LED grow that plants look like this cause again i cannot seem to find any most of there grows like i said are 12 " plants flipped lol not 5 footer plants with nice buds growing right on bottom of the plant
