I need to switch to led but I am sick of saying it haha maybe this year I will do it eventually, I'm in much better position to be able to take the loss os my yeilds suffer they do most the time anyway
Why do you "need" to switch? Just out of curiosity? I do it for the summer, but I LOOOOVE hps and cmh, the 2 main plus points of led is the lower heat and lower energy consumption, personally I don't believe the hype about LED producing more trichs or more terps.
I did at one point think it was possible to get better terps due to led heating the plant up less for the same ppfd which should translate to less terps lost towards the end of flower, but it certainly hasn't been my experience, even when dropping ambient temps to 24'c for the last week or so.
paying less for lecky in the summer is nice but in the winter I'd have to run a heater anyways so I just use hps.
