High power COB -vs- hps vertical shoot out

Seriously? Do we need to clog up the man's thread with this clown show?

I'd like to see him get another COB or four added to his setup so it's putting out the PPfD it's supposed to and then do a proper HPS replacement test with Nomad.

Nothing else is going to get the necessary results from an actual head to head.
He already said his hps was slaughtering his cob fixtures. Why keep chasing and spending money? His single ended bulbs were killing the cobs, I don't get why people are so afraid of this. Dude would of been nuts going all in, never fix something that aint broken. Its been the saying for a life time.

Bro dont be an ass you cant tell shit from a pic. Please stop sucking that de.
I just grew 5 seeds of tangie/ghost train haze. i got rid of the phenos with bud that looked like that. I can tell that every pic of cob grown weed looks like puffed up junk. I have to sell that bud cheap because it has no bag appeal,just big fluffy mess. the phenos with tight bud and bag appeal bud that flys out the door. is the ones i keep. At first, i kept wanting to say it was just strain with led grows, but time after time, alll pics of cob grown weed looks the same.

what is worth more
8 ounces of fluff that sells for $800
6 ounces of top shelf that sells for $1200 or more
Fluff??????? Do you wear glasses? that bud was nowhere close to being fluffy. You just got it in for cobs it's all good that you think they don't perform. That tells me you failed when you tried them or did you even use them I forgot because I'm stoned off my shitty led weed lol.

I really don't think led or any light for that matter is bull shit. Application and strain veg time and other factors all play a huge roll in how we choose to grow. Some of the cob guys (not all) don't tell you this when they talk about how great there lights are and how everyones else sucks.

If by this you mean there's a lot of hype and over promising on the industry, I'd agree with that readily enough.

Lights are measured very simply; performance, in our case PPfD, vs watts expended.

The more PPfD per watt, the better. It just needn't be a lot more complicated than that.

A lot of growers are jaded, too many LED manufacturers in the past have claimed Super LED = some HPS and it didn't perform, leaving a bad rep. But you can now see people like Remo doing LED grows. And you can't say his plants are BS. Growmau5 and Greengene also grow dank you can see the full results of with COBs. There's a few guys running those terrible mars lights growing dank nugs check out medgrower1 on youtube. I'm not saying I know which is better, but dank bud can be grown under COBs and single diode LEDs.

Bro that is straight up wing nut idiocy
sure, thats why i have asked hundreds of times for a pic of a finished and dried nugg that doesn"t look like shit, and no one has posted one. I asked if someone could build me a light for $1500 that would grow as good as my Gavita, no one stood up. i just got put on restriction for pointing it out.but i"m a wing nut, a clown, i can't grow, I don"t grow, I dont post pics, yet My bud has no resin, my bud is wet, lets see, anything else they have called me??? I am sure i missed a few.

Bro thats crazy fucking bullshit....point 1is you are a jackass if you think a bud pic proves anything.

Point2 there are loads of contests for "nug of the month" hundreds of growers vote on best looking buds. Those contests are often won by led guys. You logic is a joke. Stop with foolish, wing nut, hid cult of denial.

And both of those guys told everyone in there side by sides. "Look we're running higher yielding strains." Those 2 are as honest and as real as they come.
