Is it worth investing in LED?

Thank you so much! So I should stick to my 1000 w MH light? I've wanted to upgrade, just not sure if it'd be worth it. Is MH what people are still using? I am curious to find out what high end growers are using for indoor grows?
well, if you already have been using a 1000w mh, you may like "upgrading" to an led. That's what I did. But probably nothing today is going to beat that 1000w. For smaller applications however there is a great debate about the quality of light. Just anecdotal from watching and observing and comparing I would say led produces a much more usable form of light that the plants seem to love.

Heres an example of a fluffy bud grown with cxa 3070 leds...

If you want to see a easy build of one of these led lights just take a look at the link in my signature. Microcab research lab...:razz:

There is also lots of information in supras diy threads...

you can build one in a few hours if you are so inclined. If not the optic vero is available right now..

Sativied, I have 3 of those fucking 2x4 tents, each putting out close to what I used to get with 800W HPS (used to be my main lamps for a long time in a big DIY tent). Quit with your pussy bullshit. You aren't fooling me.

Do you remember the 240W tent you saw the results of? The one t hat fucking blew half your 4x4 600W setup out of the water? No? Do you want me to send you pictures of the buds hanging? I could yield better than you with both my hands behind my back bruh. :)

Sativied does like to troll the LED section and spew his hatred on a regular basis.
Partly true. I don't do "hate", such strong emotions I leave to the haters...

I do like to troll this section a little, just as some of you troll the hps threads, and no more than church and I did before you guys brainwashed him :lol:

Regardless, my post above wasn't trolling.

CLW would not make my list of recommended pre builts. DIY COBS are your best value. What size area do you need them for?
I'm done buying, but this was for a 2x2, one #10 airpot

I really like my clw220, kind of expensive, $439 plus free shipping. It is super high quality and the plants love it, But I still can't tell just by observing what watt hid it would be comparable to. I would say 400w is pushing it a little, but I use to clone under a 250w mh and it beats the hell out of that.

Calling me a pretend engineer is just low. I don't have a job as an engineer, but I spent a lot of time earing my engineering degree, and it wasn't at the RIU church. You're a dick. I put a lot of work into that.
As I mentioned in the strain and seeds review forum where the clique has a similar fucked up almost fascist attitude, when are you guys going to learn being a douchebag while trying to slander someone isn't very convincing. You're not in a position to judge me "dick".

I'm sorry you're so against education.

Wow... just wow... :rolleyes: I didn't mention it in the PMs simply out of respect and already kinda figured out how you'd respond to intellectual honesty, but your grow look like crap lol... skinny lanky noob grow. ANY first time HPS grower in our local forums does a MUCH better job.

ALL you got is the same old trick, buy more leds than needed and run them low. That's where you got your misplaced pompous attitude from. GTFO man...

Also, what exactly is your intention fighting? What are you trying to prevent? Do you really think I'm here trying to miseducate people, or that my circuits tips have been killing noobs?

I think you're just paranoid. How about dropping the whole witch hunting attitude and being positive for a change? You know, I actually wanted to be your friend on here.

Skinny and lanky at first... hmm.. Oh, that reminds me of sativa.

This yield was the best yield i've ever gotten, HPS or LED. I have never yield better, even with more light intensity.

Again, here you go: http://www.webmd.com/schizophrenia/guide/delusional-disorder Grab a mirror and read that outloud.

I've seen how you treat your friends... You're factually the only douche who takes the effort to insult people through PMs... Despite those absurd and delusional projecting accusations in those PMs I went out of my way (initially) to not insult you or address you when talking about LED (in if I remember correctly gavita hps threads...) but you just begged me over and over to be my little bitch... and then you ask me what the intention of my fighting is? Scroll up and see who starts 'fighting'. Can you get any more delusional....

I accused you through PM to save you the humiliation of doing it publically. Again, I was hoping to resolve our... disagreement... privately, and not making a public shit fit over it. How old are you anyway? I'm guessing in your early twenties.

I like how I was just in this thread around an hour ago and it's already turned into a fuckin' great troll war.

Wtf do you expect from 240W.

I think you're doing a great job growing in that tent with ~240W, Churchy. I like how you took the picture, it's unique.

Edit: I just utilized the zoom ability for your picture and the buds actually look bigger than I had initially seen, and the leaves are still green so those buds should be even bigger before too long!

I'm currently flowering a cut under 600W HPS that I flowered last time under two 400W Advanced LED panels. The LEDs produced very dense bud but the 600W is growing WAY bigger flowers.

I also run two 75W Area-51 LEDs in a small tent and I do not notice a drastic difference in bud density. Both the 150w and 800w LED grow some dense bud, comparable to HPS grows but just doesn't penetrate as deep into your canopy.

@AquariusPanta

Its the new look of the RIU led section
Don't you just love it....:cuss:
I think some of us are a little anxious to get our hands on the new COBs, that's all.

I was guilty of messing with @Greengenes707 on the other thread earlier but I think he took it too seriously. You can tell he's an ole' fuckaroo with no time for shits from the younger generation.

I still respect him though for what he's given to the community in terms of data and information.

Anyways..
