I'm curious what the best value and effective LED out there for replacing a 1000w? I see a lot of people talk about the Lumigrow ES 330.
Another thing about LED they don't tell you - they will be too much light for the plants. If you put 3 watt models closer than 10 inches to the plants the leaves will oversuck nutrients, dry out, and ugly up on you. Also, the buds / tops of the colas will turn white from light intensity. Here's a picture of a haze cross we did which did all of the above:
hows the production on the es330? Is it equal to a 400 wt HPS? How bout a 600wt HPS thanks in advance for your input ~~~~Max

I keep the fixture about 12"- 16" over the tops of the plants, any less than that will cause bleaching.
Are we talking about your hybrid PLL/LED fixture? I'm curious how effective PLLs would be at 12", seems you would be losing out quite a bit.
No, I was talking about my ES330 here. I generally keep the hybrid fixture about 4" above the tops of the plants.
