Buds quality LEDs VS HPS

[Buba Blend]

quality posting here, good job! looks like your it knowledge is on par with your lighting knowledge

Care to explain. I'm not smart enough to understand a post so vague.

Please enlighten me.

Oh, don't talk lighting, explain what is wrong with the link to yodas posts. Pretty Please!

 

[Buba Blend]

Every LED/HPS comparison thread I've seen has included both rabid, frothing trolls and calm, reasonable people. On both sides. It seems neither LED nor HPS has a monopoly on prickish fanboys.

So I would like your opinions on my last two posts.
Was yoda reasonable?
As you can see a meaningless troll insulted me for no reason and gave no decent explanation.
Not surprised no one took the high road and complimented yodaweed for being the most reasonable poster in the thread.
Standard move in the led section is to ignore and move on to talk about the newest light and how it kicks hps's ass lol..

Was yoda reasonable in the thread or not?

Fuck You Guys! (except Humble)
Your not worth the time.
No more posts for me in this bullshit section.
The real growers have been beaten down by the trolls who are probably working for the sellers.
Would be a waist of time arguing here.
No reason for you to answer Humble, I took you as one of the trolls at 1st but do not think that any longer, you are a good guy.

Here is my answer to any comments on the above.

hps won 6 months ago and won again.

Here is some music to soothe the souls of LED growers.

I'm not mental fellow growers from the other sections, I'm fine. See how well I've done since I changed my avatar. No fighting, no insults, no more in your face with my beautiful plants. Ain't gonna happen. I was being competitive before but did not mean to be a jerk and will transition into a better person. Promise!

Just want to show the difference between here and the other sections. This section is not like the others.

Shit!
I made such a long list I don't want to leave anyone off but the list is so long. Almost forgot the Dr. so I put him on top lol. Sorry for the many members I excuded that should be on this list. I only picked up the names below with a quick scan of the other sections.

You can say there are jerks on both sides.
But if there was a visitor to one of our sections and a group of any four names below were conversing with the person and a troll showed up and started badgering the visitor. These guys would take over for the guy being badgered. If they stayed silent and let him be badgered, one of the other members below would jump in and attack the troll or might even attack the other regulars for staying silent.

For what must be closing in on the thousandth time:

It's not the type of light source that matters. It's the quality of the light. There are more sources available to generate good light than you can shake a stick at. The only thing that makes HPS the "go to" light is how consistent it is. You buy an HPS fixture, put an HPS bulb in it, you're going to get good light almost no matter what manufacturers bulb you put in there.

LED and COB on the other hand aren't like that. There are some devastatingly good ones out there that do a fantastic job. There are also some not worth lighting a Christmas tree with, let alone trying to grow anything with.

That's where the big disconnect is: people think one is better or worse than the other. It isn't. So long as it's a QUALITY fixture (on the LED/COB side of things) then it really doesn't make one fat rats ass worth of difference.

I have been saying this the whole thread.

 

[Chunky Stool]

I use both HPS and LED.
Sunlight works pretty good too...

 

[hillbill]

COBs and white LEDs fit my situation but I still have to restrain myself from those 315w CMH.

I'm usually at my worst on RIU when something else is bothering me. I've even been guilty of a little bullying here and there, but I try to be nice.

To be honest, I don't remember what you are talking about or why I was even mentioned.

it really doesn't make one fat rats ass worth of difference.

If you pay for your electricity then at least efficiency does make a big difference. Biggest part of the costs of growing cannabis is the electricity used. If you can decrease that by 40% to 50% then that's a huge saving.

Not for a small, personal use grower it doesn't. If you're growing in a tent or small room, efficiency makes very little difference in the United States with only one exception.

Biggest part of the costs of growing cannabis is the electricity used.

No, it isn't. The materials used is by a long, long way.

If you can decrease that by 40% to 50% then that's a huge saving.

You can't. That is simply not possible.

The best COB on the market right now is roughly 25% more efficient than an HPS is. Unfortunately, that same fixture cost 325% as much to purchase. So, no. You're wrong. Flat out.

Before you talk more stupidity, look up my earlier posts and you'll see I've done all the math on it about 12 times.

Speak for yourself bub. I'm a tiny dick douche! And people love me! I cut deep.

Maybe I should not have @ so many like that.
I'm sorry, I did not mean for anyone to need to get involved, I should have said that.
I was just creating an example of differences I think I see in this section vs others.

It was a random selection of members from recent posts.
Hope the example was taken as a compliment by the overall group mentioned.
It was meant as a compliment.

Also to the rest I did not mean protect any noob from trolls. I meant if you were engaged in a good conversation with someone new to RIU. You would not let the troll take control of the conversation. That's all I mean.

 

[Snaddehat]

Can't talk for the states, but in Europe the potential energy savings make more than a lot of difference. We tend to pay quite a lot for electricity compared to U.S, and when you can yield the same for fewer watts used, well then that's rather welcome.

Ease up on the guy, he was making a hypothetical.

And to be honest, I've seen several grows used with just LED that did almost equally as well as the same conditions in HPS. Using less watts and less money spent on cooling.

Also, to note, some folks grow for personal use, and in that case, who the fuck cares what they use? As long as they are getting what they want, right?

And if youre growing big time indoors, you aren't using RIU for advice on what light source to use.

So basically you are yelling at someone for something that literally has zero impact on you and your life.

Nah. Its cool. Just couldn't remember what happened. I generally try not to be an ass but it has happened.

First off, I state fact, not made up hypothetical bullshit.

Secondly, I didn't "yell" at anybody. I typed plain, simple sentences.

Fun fact: it's easier to cool an HPS than an LED. You're spouting pure bullshit. You can slap an HPS in a tube and cool it with a single 4 inch fan. You can't put an entire LED fixture in a fucking tube. You spend FAR MORE on fans and circulation cooling LED fixtures than a single HPS bulb.

And again, learn to fucking read. I STATED IN PURE FACT that either was just as good and would get the job done. You're just once again making shit up to try to troll the populace as usual.
