What light should I buy

[hyroot]

People tend to forget about genetics and growing method and plant health. Which plays more of a factor in bud size than lighting.

And yours are 3" wide. I'm gonna just shut you up is the your thread http://rollitup.org/t/first-time-grower.871481/ lol stop while you're ahead hahaha I didn't know Bic lighters were 3" wide nice try. Just stop

Bro if u had hps your shit would be double in size and mayb more potent! I would like to do a test side by side comparison. See if ur right. But for now i can only speculate.
By the way they look a bit airy

HPS grows some big buds but I think it's because of the IR radiation that heats the leaves. LED grown buds aren't usually that big but they're much more dense and certainly more resinous - at least in my experience. I'm not going to argue but the photos don't do LEDs the justice.

@Greengenes707 did some testing on potency if I am not mistaken.

And in the end I agree that current commercial LED fixtures won't pay themselves. But DIY is an another story.

dude are you seriously trying to fuck up his grow? lets see some pics. These pics were taken 9-8-2015 only 4 plants. 1 Blue Kripple and 3 HSO Blue Dream in a 4x4 tent only running 372 watts which I can turn them up to 840 watts it's 2 panels 420-423 watts each tested with a kill a watt meter. I was working so I couldn't drop pics in here to make the HPS guys shut the fuck up. I've used hps commercially. Saturday will be day 1 of week 7 of flower.

It's in previous posts. My Schwartz is bigger than yours! And it's a soil grow and I don't check runnoff or anything. Just growing for myself. And I really don't know what I am doing!

I need to take some closeups of the SLH nugs. Pure sugar.

cool what week you in bud?what lights?

What size area and will you be using AC?So I can answer your question properly

144 ft² @824 PPfD, yes, it's climate controlled. I tend to run higher RH than most, which means I run a bit higher EC. I'm just looking for a starting point.

They guy who told me to bump my EC for the 860W CDM lamps was on point, that's why I figured I'd ask you the same thing about these.

Thank you!

I'll be putting this to the test soon enough, because I think they are.

What are the racehorses to compete?

 

[innerG]

While we're posting pics, 400w HPS, day 31:

 

[alesh]

This thread looks like a "Who's got the biggest dick" competition in kindergarten. Even if you win you still got a tiny one.

 

[ttystikk]

What are the racehorses to compete?

CXB3590 3500k x4 on the 200W driver... times 24. I've already competed testing with HPS, am most of the way done with 860W CDM, and will be building the test rig for 315W LEC soon.

For the pepes that are using Vero/CXB? There is no need to run hps to prove anything. Let the hps guys do the side by sides and spend the $ to prove us wrong.
