The age old question HPS, MH vs LED

[toomp]

Long time HPS grower here. Just recently switched a room to CMH and LED and fucking killed it. The plants grow different. Not as big of colas but more stacking, harder, denser nugs, and the taste and smell has improved along with dried weight.

Is it possible that heat is under control giving denser flowers and better aroma?
Hot rooms create airy buds and loss of terpenes

This was my experience as well.

CMH murdered my HPS, then i tried LEDS the results where better then the CMH.

Anyone still using HPS is just stubborn stuck in their ways, or is a glutton for wasted energy and loves high electric bills.
The only way HPS can compete with LEDS ( not the purple shit either, real LEDS) is vertical IMO.

As a matter of fact, i will bet you if you take a Spider Farmer SF-4000 LED Grow Light versus a 600 watt HPS, the LED will demolish the HPS.
Try it, prove it to yourself.

No, LED heat is harder to control then HPS in my experience. You can duct hot air for the HPS , cant really do it for LED.

Well I take it you are referring to me. Your lights are junk, migro just did a test and said it’s probably one of, if not the worst LED out right now. Settle down now shooter and smoke a doob.

I wasn’t talking about you but okay. Let let the bud do the talking like I said. Let’s see what you have going on. And please let’s see those links of bestva relfector series being junk.

 

[iDab666]
