Marshydro or glaxayhydro Led?

[Michael Huntherz]

NO insult or fighting words taken!

You are correct! I left out that home build COBB's have the clout to run with HID, and possibly pass it (something else to try when I'm able to "continue"!!)
That's what I was commenting on "Mars or Galaxy" = low output blurpple (kinda fun to put outside during a party with dose's) LED's!
You are also correct that at times, and for certain reason's, one cannot use some solutions to environmental problems!
Still, to ME...... I can not justify the use of those over the counter LED's.... Call me fussy (and I deserve it!) but, I just couldn't do it!
I would run multiple T5 banks and put a shit load of effort into cooling that.....


MAYBE someone with 4 or more LED's of the blurpple type would do us all a favor (Been thinking about this question for awhile) and run ALL of them at once on a run and see if that boost's the effectiveness in bloom for us? How about in a 4x4 area with 4 plants? My production set is 1K of HPS per 4x4, with 4 plants.....We would be mimicking the space and the plant #'s...kinda basic but, I would be interested to see just how that came out!

Anyone up to that?



If you can't tell - I don't like cheap overpriced LED's....I guess they do have a "place" but, should be taken with a grain of salt...see above...

LED's equal COBB's or nothing in my book. Go ahead, call me an "intolerant bastard" some folks around here (home) call me IB and we get along fine!
HID can be so much = DE, CDM, Dual Arc and good old MH and HPS.......Don't forget good old Mercury Vapor lamps! Run them WITH HPS during bloom and keep them a distance farther away (supplemental lighting for spectral influence) then the HPS.....I liked light movers for this.

See what happens then!

Nice posts guys!

I'd really like to try 600W actual blurple LED vs 600W HPS someday, I may try it sooner rather than later. I certainly don't think you're an intolerant bastard, I was attempting to point out a few potential nuances to support your general conclusions. Cheers to all growers!

IB is an old joke from my best friend and long, long time growing partner....we parted the MM partnership so he could focus on the farm more and that partnership. He still does MM and we actually do exactly the same things....lives right next door, er, eh, that would be a country "next door".
