I've seen your grows man, and you're doing a bang up job.But MB, you really need to see what happens with 1000 watts of hps in a 4x4 grow tent, with CO2, to see what everyones talking about.I'm not saying your leds dont work, and if the process is satisying your needs...then it's all good.But I think what most people protest to, is the unscrupulous claims led purveyors use to make sales.For instance: say, you and your patients require X amount of bud every, lets say, 2 months.And this requirement is satisfied with say, 400w hps.Now, I think, any...experienced grower can immediately realize that a hundred and so watts of led arent even going to come close to the output from 400w hps.We're talking a pressurized glass bulb, powered by a ballast, vs a solid state led system...no contest...at all.If led tek wants to be taken seriously, then the makers need to stop this "we're better than hid" bullshit.Because anyone that has had the experience of growing with 400,600, or a 1K set-up knows better...fo sho.I am tryin bro! Don't give up just yet!! Watch my next grow, gimmi a break only harvested 3 grows ever!
If someone sends me a free one I'd have it...... [/QUOTE
I'm working on getting one of the new Advanced Nutrients LED arrays that they have coming out to try it out. If I get it I'll do a diary on it.
Couldn't agree more! Also, I've heard LED lights designed to supplement HIDs will be available soon. That could be the shit, really. So you can grow 5 foot plants and get top Q buds all the way to the bottom.If you want to get 20oz you should use 600-1000W hps.
If you want to step over the 1,5g/W result under 200W you have to use LEDs.
If you want to use the CFLs with 50lm/W and with horrible heat you're mad and i dont understand you...
BudBug, its beautyful result. Congrat man!
Hey, don't be so sure about that. I've seen LEDs burn out in those china panels after a year or so. So it'd be more reasonable to say the lifetime is the warranty time the dealer offers.But shit one or two led panels, and you can have all the smoke ya need, on a personal basis.. no replacment parts for 10 years or more!!
