This was a great post.
I don't care about incandescent lights so why do you keep ranting about them? Like I said, I'm growing marijuana not conducting a science experiment about different sources of lighting. I use an HID you use and LED. I don't care what light you use but apparently you care what light I use. I'd tell you to look in the mirror if you want to see retarded but knuckle draggers like you can't stand upright.
So you have basically called those that use HID lighting or grow organically retards. That's a damn good percentage of the people on this site. So what is your purpose for being here? All you do is insult the members of this forum. You have absolutely nothing to offer. Do you even grow marijuana? Or do you spend all your time fiddling with lights and reading all the marketing crap pushed by the LED light manufacturers? Lets see these great grows of yours where watt for watt you get double the yield of an HID. I know you can't show us those because they don't exist.
So if everyone on this site is stupid I have to ask again, Why are you here?
Right I love my leds and cmh. Both do well. also you’re right a bunch of us do full on organic grows theres far too much arguing on what lights better. Alot of the problem has simply came from shady led manufactures. Personally I’ve found that a combination of both my cmh’s and leds together create one hell of an environment. A lot of the people that bitch and complain about which light is better makes no sense when they should focus more so on the reasons they have issues in their grow in the first place. I've seen folks on here that have issues feeding and watering but boast on who’s equipment is better. You can have the best light in the world but if your environment isn’t dialed in does it really matter what light or fan you have?
My growroom isnt climatizised so Im using a multitude of various lamp-types to get some of these variables (soil-, leaf- and airtemperatur) into the right direction. So far, so good. Sometimes problems like erratic growth, hanging leaves or spots can be defeated just by dialing in the growparameters right. Esp the combination with rH into VPD seems to be important. As is good water free if Na Cl and a proper high quality medium.
Yes this "Which light is better" nonsense is getting rather old. There are thousands of pictures on this site showing grows where people spend ten times what I spend and still can't match what I get with my el-cheapo 600 watt HPS and bulk salts. And there's always some jackass making statements like "You're retarded for using and HID" or "You're retarded for growing organically". Why do they care what light others use or what method they use to grow? I like to use this site to communicate with others that share a common interest. Some seem to just use this site to start conflict and attempt to degrade others.
This is true. There is so much mis-information about LEDs that it has caused the industry more harm than good. So much so, we even devoted a page to "LED Myths" on our website to redress it: https://growlightsaustralia.com/technology/led-myths/
i run CMH + HPS with lights ON at night only, during the winter In a 5x5 tent. This keeps “day” temps below 80 in the garden. Even a T5 in a tent will drive temps high if you aren’t venting/extracting, and I usually dont fire up the giant inline during veg.
I dunno man, I haven’t smoked an outdoor grown plant that’s been anywhere near an indoor.. But I also live in Canada.
I mean I have a degree in computer science and biology focused on plants sciences from NMC. Along with countless Microsoft and comptia certifications. So I'll be labeled a nerd anyday
I got my MCSE in 1999 and my CCNA right after. I code in multiple languages as well. I worked as a Network Engineer for years before leaving the corporate grinder and going solo. Now I do contract work from home as a self employed contractor. There is no shortage of work. I'm sure glad to be away from the office politics although they still manage to creep into my home office from time to time.
Same thing I do. I do my own I currently keep x amount of clients on a monthly retainer. Most everything I do is automated through GFI with my own scripts and other than that I deal with the occasional end user visited or opened something and now their machine has gone all wonky. other than that I do server maintenance manually. I just finish a new server migration this week. all my Comptia certs lapsed last year but I figure who cares I don’t feel like forking the cash to renew it unless a client would like it which then I have them pay for. Because those bastards aren’t cheap to take.I got my MCSE in 1999 and my CCNA right after. I code in multiple languages as well.

It doesn't seem like twenty years since this showed up in the mail after passing the final test. It's outdated but with over twenty years worth of experience I don't need to bother with certs anymore.

Hey I just moved into my new house two months ago and I've got my new 40x40 foot green house going up now. Should be ready come spring!
You.. need a hand?
The outdoor we were getting from Humboldt County back in the early eighties was fire. Southern Oregon puts out some damn fine outdoor grown weed as well. I'd take that anyday over much of the indoor grown I see on this site regardless of lighting used.
