I think current LEDs outperform HPS tbh. I've had a small cob led tent for a few years now, and I made the switch with my main tent at end of last year. Plants look happier than ever and my yields are up. The only time I've seen any stress is from putting too much light in the small tent, but the dimmer fixes that.
Yall ever run cmh?
What issues did you have in veg?
I think it was more related to the soil I was using....Nectar nutes don't appear to play well at all with foxfarm oceanforest - soon as I switched back to Nectar #4 they went right back to being happy.
I was actually planning on switching to cmh for the resin and terps, when I stumbled on to the leds. Still planning to try cmh one day because of pictures like that!
My issue with HPS is that I don't believe 600 to be 'enough' in general.
Ah ok, I use a living soil mix, so they must have been able to find everything they needed. I do find young plants can get stressed by the light intensity though, so i rarely run them above 50% for veg and they seem happier for it.
315, 630, 630 de, 945w are the cmh wattages. They also have ceramic hps in the 1000 water. Ive used a 315 and the whole spectrum is great they are best for supplement I found lacking in the power dept. Either mix cmh with hps but then you got crazy amounts of heat or mix with led strips and cobs.
Yeah honestly I think my ideal setup would be cmh/led
looks meh
I run a 630 cmh in the middle of my room and love it. I have it mixed in with 4- 1000watter hps. Also people love regular 600w hps. They are awesome, less heat and you can get em closer to your plants and run more lights. 600w hps are great for people doing small grows also in a 3x3 or 4x4 grow tent.
Peanut butter breath reakoning...haha I love it!
Timber leds looks good, seen some awesome runs with fluence
Right, I'm just thinking if someone is going to compare HPS vs CMH that they ought to compare to the industry standard of 1000W HPS not just a 600w - to the equivalent in CMH lighting.
