Best yielding LEDs

Gaia's.Grower · Dec 10, 2019

Does anyone have any experience with which LEDs yield the best?

I'm looking at California lightworks, Lumigrow, Gavita, and BIOS right now. From what I have gathered, the gavita and bios are more full spectrum and the CLW and Lumi are more blurple but are also both tunable spectrum with some full spectrum diodes.

To rephrase my question, does anyone know if the full spectrum LEDs are push out more weight or does being able to increase the red/blue ratio with the tunable channels increase yield?

I'm also 100% open to suggestions for other LEDs that produce well.

Horticultural lighting group quantum boards are nice

Maybe take a look at
Horticultural lighting group
Timer grow lights
BC Blondes
ChilLED

Never seen a single tunable blurple on here to be honest. Everyone's just using whites or whites with added reds.

I dont think any of them are gonna yield much more than the next brand once you get to the top of the heap. Atleast i dont think it will be very noticeable.

Start with any of the companies listed so far and you will be golden.

HLG
Timber
Cutter
Amare
Atreum
Diyleduk

diy:
Samsung strips (f series, h influx)
Bridgelux ( bxeb gen 2s or slim 3s)
Nichia 3030s
Highlights qbs @Prawn Connery

Any lights from any of this bunch will crush it

I use California lightworks solar systems 550’s, I have 6 of them and grow in soil, I use one per plant and grab give or take 4-5 lbs from the crop and my light bill is a lot lower now lol, also the buds are awesome!

I believe that the tunable ones would push out more weight with my California light works solar system 550s are use a controller which lets me control how much white white or blue white or red light I use I find this feature extremely helpful

When I decided to start growing, a guy that I thought knew what he was doing recommended the California Lightworks Solar System lights. After looking at them, I decided to go a different route, and haven't looked back. I don't know how they can charge that much for a blurple, lol. Sorry man, I just can't stand looking at that purple shit.

Gavita 1700e all the way. Never buy blurple. The gavita LED out produced my xtrasun 1000w de lights. Bigger more colorful nugs. I've grown blue glue for years and just grew my largest top nug eber under the led.

Sure thing and 5 pounds from 6 plants isn’t that much if that’s What you are implying, Usually I am anywhere from 14 ounces to 20 ounces per plant, I’ve also ran my set up in Aquaponics as well and yelled at the same amount the only difference was between the two that in Hydro the veg cycle is a lot faster Also I have to say that Using fish shit definitely gave more trikes! But here are some photos of my soil growth that I have going on now they are on their Fifth week of flower. I’m using talk to text so please don’t criticize my post for a spelling lol

That looks amazing dude. It seems like your dialed in with those gavitas. Is there anyway to talk through pm ? I just setup 4 of those gavita 1700 e and would like to ask a couple questions if you don’t mind
