I am not in this argument, so I am not taking either side. But don't most commercial non cannabis grows use LED's in Europe? Like when you watch them sorta how its made things and they are hydro growing veggies, arent most using LED?
Hey man, I am new here. Do you have any pics of your grows with HPS? I am eager to see the differences in what people yield with what lights.
Cannabis requires much higher amounts of light then most vegetable crops...
I am totally new. However this anecdotal bit of evidence has me convinced hps is better than burples.
I'm now running 2- 1000w in my 4'x8' in sun system yield masters. Room temp is 21C, tent doesn't get above 26C.
Seeds will pop without a light. Majority of those running propagation areas use T5 florescent tubes, I use a single 24W LED strip. That Blurple is fine for veging in smaller tents.
I dont do grows for comparison and last grows posted here were last year and start of this but i git bired and started pushing the knowledge so we could get rid of this constant trolling which is seeing growers thinking hos is a hot shit light and how to dry etc etc.
Absolutely and use one, they're a must, that is for sure.
he doesnt have pics because he doesnt actually grow, hes just here to troll
The only constant trolling I see around here lately is you. You posted seedlings at the beginning of the year but got bored and started pushing the knowledge?I dont do grows for comparison and last grows posted here were last year and start of this but i git bired and started pushing the knowledge so we could get rid of this constant trolling which is seeing growers thinking hos is a hot shit light and how to dry etc etc.
If led out competed hos it would be obvious by now but since its still debafed that should tell you to use the light you like the most and stop trying to find the best or most efficient or anything that makes wild and stupid claims.
Id need to be on a computer not a phone to troll them up and there was an old uk thread many of us posted on
I just got myself a 600w hps. Would you say HPS is decent for a first couple of grows? If so what would you reccomend for an improvement after a few grows?I dont do grows for comparison and last grows posted here were last year and start of this but i git bired and started pushing the knowledge so we could get rid of this constant trolling which is seeing growers thinking hos is a hot shit light and how to dry etc etc.

Cant speak for others, but this was from my first grow. Auto flowers. 600w HPS/MH.1200w for last 2 weeks.
It became less a grow and show and more an led troll site because of you lot, i stepped up to troll you back and do a stella job if your asking pics but offering fuck all but led hype
damn 25 cents per kwh, they charge 13 cents in New Brunswick, it costs $100 to run 2 1000w HIDs at 18/6 $60 for 12/12. And I know people with $400 power bills that dont even grow, that would be $800+ to heat your house here.Millennials love new tech says the Boomer! lol View attachment 4443042
You must get cheap power where you're at @.Smoke. 2.6K x 12h/day x 30d/mth x 25¢/kwh = $234/mth for me but I rarely have more than 1K going. Just scored 3 used sets of 600W digi ballasts, Hortilux SHPS bulbs and reflectors for $60 each. Try to find the equivalent in LED for that price. Decent LED ain't cheap and I wouldn't live long enough to recoup the initial price thru power savings I bet.
Were I much younger and planned on long term growing I'd get into DIYing my own custom COBs tho.
Sorry but this just isn't true and im not on either side of the LED argument going on in here. My HPS 600w had my tent at 37c. I am thinking of buying a cooled hood. So my mate has leant me his old goldstar one and his A1 fan.Air cooled hoods are pretty bogus, most heat is radiational and thus not extracred by air byt it does keep your reflector cooler but again the volume of air exhausted without one is still the sane and so the tent is cooled via normal exhaust the same way as air cooled reflectors
You'll see a pattern develop....
