Old school not sure about led

[FlyingDutchPaddy]

Been reading the articles on this site lately (this specific link is about LED's): https://medteknutrients.com.au/led-l...ponic-growing/

seems oldschool HID/HPS is still the best way to go.

that said, i too have only LED but i want to go to CMH 315 W when i get the chance to.

If I needed to grow tons of weed I would go hps. But getting some amazing smoke off from 2 300watt leds with a few smaller lights for my babies in a 4x4 tent. Keeping my wife and I and a few friends stocked up. Just growing autos back to back so harvesting every few weeks

That’s where I’m at too. I just wanna grow meds for wifey & me. I retired my hps/mh fixture because of heat & electrical issues. Maybe I’ll use it again come Winter, but so far, I’m pretty pleased with my LED’s...I will have my 1st harvest grown under them very, very soon!

I am very happy with my COB LED lights. I have to LED grow boxes: one was HID but I converted the ballast to a second LED https://www.bcnorthernlights.com/led-lights/
(A grow buddy is going to use the HID ballast and bulbs.)

Here's why I chose LED for the second box:
1. I checked with my lux meter and the LED light was stronger further down than the HPS.
2. It uses half the energy of HID bulbs and produces less heat. Easier to keep my grow room temps down.
3. Bulb life: 13 years. I don't have to change a lightbulb until I'm 79.
4. The light is white and it's so much easier for me to see than the yellow HPS bulb. I hate yellow light.
