Going from HPS to LED. Worth it?

[Olive Drab Green]

If you think i need to talk science for a simple yes/no answer waffle away

I don't think that's what waffling is.

So you are basically a social antagonist and should be ignored... you argue for the sake of argument not for the spread of knowledge..

Yea but its true. We've been hearing how good LED is for 5 years now. So you should quit getting so pissed off some are taking longer to try then others. Your such a great dude but your so angry.

I'm not refuting the fact that plants can grow under LED lighting, nor am I refuting their light output vs heat efficiency. What I am refuting is that a bigger better plant can be grown under them vs HID. Top to bottom, nug for nug, any grow style (e.g.; 7' tall plant). If the heat "issues" associated with HID lighting are properly controlled/mitigated and else being equal, the HID's are producing greater weight at higher quality.

Dont say that here dude or a load of led owners will simply jump all over you, pretty much just agree with them and say leds smash hps easily, like why even buy an hps when leds yeild vastly more.

Dont feed the trolls

COBs have only become popular more recently. These are the answer to the HID vs. LED question. COB > HID.

We're trolls because a bunch of people are telling him things he not only doesn't want to hear, but doesn't want to even see the evidence thereof.

There is no VS this or VS that. You already know your bud isn't better then HPS gardeners and HPS gardeners know their bud isn't better then LED gardeners. Its all in the gardeners and strains. Everyone grows good bud.

Actually, I disagree entirely. It's as good, if not better. Econonically speaking. I don't have to waste money and energy for the same outcome.

Being a witless ass does not equal "dont feed the trolls"

Bro it's cool to be angry when it's appropriate. Say you come a cross a troublesome ass wasting time, irritating others giving out false information. It's cool to be angry, maybe you missed that bit of learning. When you're a bitter ass, antagonistic and sour grapes thats a different story.

Dont front like you're wise, circumspect, righteous etc, you're plainly nothing more than a bitter nellie.

My bad...

The only thing limiting you're yield under the 600 hps is you're canopy size, just go to a 4x4 with the 600 and you'll get 20-24 easy, I pull 26+ in my 4x4 with 600 watts

 

[Tyleb173rd]

I haven't smoked any buds from my COB build yet but they already grew bigger, frostier and faster. If it gets me as high as it did grown under an HPS then COBs are a no brainer.

 

[Yodaweed]

Quality is mainly based on grower skills and genetics, not really the light for the most part.

 

[GreenSanta]

Give it up with cobs, cobs are for little closet grower, they can't compete with HIDs for quality. COBs are for kids. Why wasting time trying to convince people otherwise. I'm gonna stick with my setup....

 

[GreenSanta]

Oh and I was gonna say 2.75 gpw of larf.

 

[Budley Doright]

Leds smash hps so why would you bother with hps man when these leds growers are totally out yeilding hps. Seriously i think they are up to 50% better for yeilds. Anything else is just pointless when leds have far suppases sodium!

What are you running?

 

[Budley Doright]

Do your seedlings and veg'ing plants grow trichomes as early as day 3 in seedling? Because mine do.

They should, it's a Cree chip in there LOL. And perhaps it could be more the strain than the light. I would love to see an actual side by if there are any that have went start to finish on here.​

Very persuasive

U liked the double sarcasm? Seriously I am not sure I want people growing with COBS anymore, gives me an edge
