No just not going down the same path which i know where leads. Too long in the tooth for that ill tested led v hps crap that gets played off everyday.
Im a grower and member with my eyes open not shut, where am i wrong on anything anywhere?
Still leds get a bad rap and hps is still not extinct, bend them facts with your ppfd....
I will show you exactly where you are wrong. It is based on logic and documented (historic) yield - please try to follow.
Exhibit A - grow room. Please examine the photo below and answer the following questions:
There are eight 3'x3' stations in this room. Six stations are lit by 600W HPS. Two stations are lit by 400W LED. Which stations in the photo benefit most from overlapping light from neighbouring and adjacent stations?
Answer: the station in the middle of the room - it benefits from overlapping light from two neighbouring stations and five adjacent stations.
Which station most benefits next?
Answer: Middle station on the right- it benefits from overlapping light from two neighbouring stations, three adjacent stations, and reflected (ambient) light from the wall next to it.
You are following this so far? Good. The fact that the middle and right rows each have three HPS lights overlapping, and also benefit from ambient light from three adjacent stations, means these rows have the biggest light advantages.
The row that benefits least is the LED row on the left, that has only two neighbouring lights and three adjacent lights.
Advantage: HPS
Disadvantage: LED
Exhibit B - LED station. Please examine the photo below and answer the following questions:
How many plants are there in each LED station, and where are they situated?
Answer: two, diagonally opposite.
Are there any "holes" in the screen"?
Answer: Yes - front right and back left, corresponding to the structure of each diagonal plant.
Do the plants closest the adjacent HPS row get additional ambient light?
Answer: Yes
Do the HPS plants in the other rows also get additional ambient light?
Answer: Yes
Do the LED plants get a light advantage over the other HPS plants?
Answer: No - as explained above, with reference to first photo.
Which bud in the photo is biggest?
Answer: Right in the middle, next to the wall, with the bleached white top.
Are the buds nearest the wall noticeably smaller than others?
Answer: No. There are holes in the screen matrix corresponding to individual plant structures, but the buds themselves are not noticeably smaller.
Final questions:
If the LED stations, on average, produce the same yields as the HPS stations - despite being powered by only 400W compared to 600W, and despite having the biggest disadvantage in terms of overlapping ambient light - does this prove that LED is more efficient than HPS?
Answer: Most certainly
Is Kingrow1 full of shit?
Answer: Clearly he doesn't know what the fuck he is talking about and has no idea about light matrices and yield per watt.
End of argument.
