I think raising the "might have to heat the warehouse" argument is lunacy, misrepresented as a defect when it is actually a benefit.

One would only gain more control over the environment; As one's lighting becomes more efficient there is less of a difference to compensate for via HVAC.

Paper bags, think your way out of them.

@Rahz I am agreeing with you, I think. :D I'm not sure I understand your post completely, but I think we're on the same page.

I understand him completely, and believe me when I tell you we're all reading the same hymn.

So cool, you have nothing to do but nit pick. You pick one pic of a half filled led side with the full hps, with plants looking the same under both as far as signs of cold or def, but only want to talk about the led. I said he had more to fill the room and make it even.
I'm so glad to see you grasping at straws when a real and valid example is put up. It's really funny to see you squirm for nothing.

All your wishful thinking is untrue, all unproven, has no logical foundation and as usual is very easy to refute:

You said yourself: "the led side always shows more color even in non-colored strains."
See my previous posts on clues how to fix the problem. You're welcome.

Have I ever told you what to use, or what you do is wrong.

N/A but otherwise I would appreciate it. There is always room for improvement and my comments were not intended to offend you so you don't take it personal, it's about led vs hps, not greengenes vs hps.

Have you ever seen me say hps is shit, or sucks, or is horrible...? you never will, and I tip my hat to all well done grows, big or small. But you can not do that.

Nothing in your post or silly questions makes that last part any less false. You just made that up. What's your motive for such delusions? I don't have one, not for nitpicking or whatever wishfulthinking you have. I'm not pro hps and anti led... At least my "opinions" are about grow light, yours are about people opposing your opinions... nothing but ad hominem as usual.

Can you talk a little about veg times and training you did? Because this may reflect more on the gardener then the lights, something we never talk about in these threads. Do you have any pics of the head band?

Of course.
The plants were in veg for 8 weeks, but this was by accident. Building a 50 COB fixture is no simple task, and took longer than estimated.

Training consisted of topping the plants as frequently as possible because they were getting too big and the light wasn't ready. The plants were way too tall going into flower and we basically bent them down underneath the first trellis net @ 40". A good portion of the plants stayed below the canopy and never got any light. The rest stretched up and yielded what it did.

I feel as if plants that are trained "out" can yield as much or better with a 5-6 week Veg, which is what normally happens. Just better positioning in the trellis when we first put them into the flower room.

This is the 707 Headband. Don't mind the thrip damage and male preflowers...
Not running this strain again.

Lets cut the bullshit,what do the HPS guys condsider a good yield per sq/ft?
Click to expand...
Well for me personally it would be 2 units per a 1000 watt in a 4x4 area, being that I dropped out of school in the 8th grade I'm not that good at math. Someone please help me........... Would i be right if my answer is 1/2 unit?

i think those guys are thrilled to get 3 units which is about 1.2-1.25 per watt at the wall. probably more realistically ~1.1 if you consider the addl cooling load needed to remove the extra heat.

That would be 2 ozs a sq/t at 62 watts per sq/ft and that doesn't include the ballast.

And id be thrilled with that. Im not about all this ill beat your yield led vs hps bull shit. But now if we are talking quality of bud, I'm all about that. Right now I'm getting a little above 1 3/4 unit per 1000 in a 4x4 on a 24 day veg with co2. If i could hit 2 units id jump out of my socks.
