What i meant to say was that ill have to smoke it to see if i should keep running her as i dont have tons of space not that ill smoke to determine when its gonna be ready.
Sorry for the confusion

@JDGreen what kind of LEDs are you running? I've been thinking about switching to LED during the summer out here.

Honestly.
Take my word hear man. Leds r great for low heat. But i just dont think the tech is quite there yet. (Ill prolly take flack for that)U gotta really drop some dough too.

I run kind k1000 leds. They r nice but im thinking of adding some old fashioned bulbs.

They r really grea for supplement lighting because the penetration of light is unmatched. And super low heat. But my advice would be keep ur .old stuff hps and mh stuff and add u some leds. The old stuff,.idk but they help with aroma, terps but the leds add alot of lower bud yield.

Actually when i use them to veg they r excellent. And i would prolly use them just in veg if not for the high temps here
(or for frost cuz they do frost up some shit)

I know you didn't ask my opinion but I'll give it anyway lol. If you're interested in led I suggest you look into cobs. They sell prebuilt units or diy kits that are more affordable. Stay away from the 1,3, or 5w Chinese units and forget the x led watts=y hid watts nonsense. You will need approximately the same amount of watts to do the same job but you will use less power and generate less heat doing so. @JDGreen is right in that it can get pricey to play in the led game but it does have benefits. Cobs have unparalleled spread when compared to hid and you can start adding cobs a few at a time to up the light on the edges until you're ready to make the switch entirely. I don't sell led just putting some info out there. Good luck with your research and keep it green!

It really depends in what LEDs you're running, but what you're talking about as far as smell/terpz in flower is due to the lack of ir/uv in most led panels. You can totally supplement with ir and uv to balance out the entire spectrum.

But most blurple lights do better with some supplemental help in flower.

@JDGreen that actually gives me a good idea though, I can just run LEDs during the hottest 5 hours of the day and run hps/mh during the rest.

You can absolutely do this. Some strains will not like it though due to the vastly different spectrum swap in the middle of their light cycle. Ime you have to adjust plants for the swap. But stronger strains will power through it. Others you'll get possible herming, weird deficiencies/lockout.

It's really only cuz I have a hard time keeping my tent below 85° during the summer. The rest of the year is just right temp wise.

Due to the lack or ir and uv in led panels you actually need higher canopy/leaf temps to get the same photosynthetic rates as with hid. So 85 isn't the worst thing ever with lights that are lacking ultraviolet/far red.

I have some cuts i took of the ssdd's that i have kept going. gonna trash them if i dont like the smoke and run something else. Is that clear enough for you to understand.

Im just giving u a hard time...mayb uve had enough.

Thanks for the info teammates. Definitely have a lot still to consider but I'm interested in learning about the possibilities.

I like mine dont get me wrong. But diversity of lights still seems to be victorious in my mind

Not sure yet. Working on my new room today. Building bigger led bars. Got new more powerful driver's.

I think I'll have 4/5 spots for something new, since I'm running most the keepers from my last hunt. Thinking I should just pop like a 1/2 pack of something.

Top 3 choices right now:

Force empathy: alphakronik
Pipeline hp x gg13hp
Neroli 91

Help me!
