Hello, what do you think about the buds quality under cob leds VS HPS ?
I can read one member from an other place say than LEDs buds is not the same quality than hps.
I can also read than LEDs buds are better than hps...
I some users off this two can give their opinion.
Have good vibes.
Thanks before for your help friendly Olsqueak.

Bud quality isn't vastly different in my opinion under hps vs led since neither of them really have any UV, if you wanna get better quality than try CMH lighting.

I did HPS and CMH for years but the last three and a half years I have used LEDs only and mostly COBs now. More photons per watt, superior spectrum, reliability and now very reasonable price points. Herb seems marginally better than CMH and HPS together but using about 60% as much electricity. Much easier to control your environment also.

Thats part of why i do the blend, i beleive fully in the led concept. But when i started i knew only what my mentor taught me and hps is the default flower solution, as i dabble learning more on led im convinced that a day will come that led will be standard.... right nowvseems like so much is changing so fast with it and so much to learn to buy right im not ready to jump in head first, im wading the shore line....

Im now entertaining building some led supplimental lights to add to my current photon generating set up to learn... what i have works im nervous unplugging and sitching fully as costs are coming down advancements happening all the time. My plan is to work my way there bit by bit to where i just dont need this magnetic ballast and a steet light bulb...

Quality to me = terps/loudness. I grew with CMH for ~2.5 years and quality was great. But when I switched to COBs the terps were/are significantly louder. Maybe I have a sensitive nose for terps but I've talked to a few others who have switched from either hps or CMH and noticed the same thing. It's a bit subjective but I can tell you that I wouldn't even consider switching back.
