Because its a proven tech, led is new and a lot of commercial growers dont want to switch out of fear of losing out on yield or potency, but that doesnt mean that HPS out yields LED or has higher potency.
So you think they are in a cash business willing to accept lower yields why?
When did I say HPS was lower yields? You said HPS was higher yields and I told you that's wrong. LED is producing just as good of yields. Which has been shown by more than enough people.
Thats exactly what I'm talking about. pretty good, but no where near the same level.
of course not compared to commercial growers...I also have a space restriction more severe then OP....
I mentioned air cooled 600 hps read my post. Promise it is the most beginner friendly lamp for the op. 100 bucks with fan bulb hood anywhere in the world.
How big of a space did you run that 1950w?
I saw that and looked at it...looks nice
4'x9' area and a 4'x4' area. All in a 12'x8' shed that i usually run 3k watts of hps. Was hoping the led was going to be a game changer. Don't get me wrong. the led bud came out good, just not hps good i believe. My hps buds are in the frosty bud thread on the site. Last was the Mimosa. Check it out if you haven't seen it, super high level quality.
That's interesting I'm guessing the 2 600h were in the 4x9 section I would think the quality would be same or better an yield slightly lower it's to bad your not allowed to try them out again haha
It's different when it's not a hobby I guess. I'm sure LED can produce. At what cost going In? Cheap HPS beats cheap LED. Period.
Why? I run a 1000 watt hps in a 4x4x 7.5 and my temps are at 79-80 max with no a.c. running just an outtake and negative air pressure pushes out the hot pulls in the cool and gives a nice balance
at least you have a foot more clearance than OP
Yeah shit happens so just take preventative measures.. I get it, and I am also a new grower first time growing anything. As of led to hps I'm not having an opinion until I try it myself but as of now I really see no difference between the two in other journals.
Yes true there is a higher initial cost to buy into LED, which is decreasing as time goes on, but the savings in energy makes up for it, where as HPS is cheap up front, but the energy costs to run them are increased, so in reality. They probably level out. I really dont care, use whatever works for you and your grow room. I was just stating that today's LEDs can match HPS.
You are on your first grow, how would you know this?
dude who the fuck cares if im on my first grow. I watch a lot of youtube and read even more. Plenty of people can show this. Get off my nut sack
just because you cant pull it off doesn't mean shit.
