I'd like to switch from my 1000 HPS to an LED. Could someone please tell me the equivalent. What wattage LED replaces the 1000 HPS?

I think that most single-end 1000w hps can generate around 1500-1600 umoles ppf.
A top-tier led fixture using lm301 diodes will need 600 watts to achieve that output.
Blurples will need the same amount of power as the hid fixture to achieve the same intensity.

You probably already know this, if not the PPF / umols column is the most important specification in the chart.
The higher PPF the more photons available.

Seems like a nice schedule but a 57% humidity during late flowering is asking for problems in my honest opinion. For a lot of growers who don't defoliate and therefore less airflow there is a HUGE change of rotting. Another issue is see is the Way to high humidity for propagation. When husing seeds such a high humidity is useless realy and when using a carbon filter over 70% renders it pretty useless afterwards.

I;d ay 50-70 MAX during veg end 40-50 during flower with 40 being the best.
