***compairing lights*** yeild/watts/flavour/taste/ quality

Flockshot, i've seen some people on other places doing somethings in the neighborhood of that...SO interesting! thanks for this...i had no idea "we" were so behind...

I've used CFLs and LEDs thus far and I'm happy with those solutions. One thing I notice in the typical HPS vs. LED online debate is that no-one ever seems to account for HPS bulb replacement when comparing the two techs.

REPLACEMENT MH AND HPS BULBS ARE EASY TO EXPLAIN, Simply screw a new bulb in the socket every 3 grows. THIS IS TECNOLGEY THAT WORKS
 
what tyler said, please. so many times on here i see people doing little mini-experiments, either side by side 1:1s or from previous grow to current grow, but then they don't end up reporting back what happened/what they found... NOT complaining, i know people get busy and other stuff, just sayin'....
 
I was thinking more along the lines of cost comparisons. This said, in my book "do nothing" always wins over "do something" as long as the result is the same : )
 
The problem with comparing LED lights to a HPS lights using wattage draw as the measurement is that LED lights have huge difference in quality from one manufacture to another.

Better built LED light will use more efficient LEDs and drivers so more of the power is used for producing light and less power wasted in the form of heat.
Also there are differences in the number of light bands that different LED lights produce, anywhere from a 3 to 12 band spectrum. Some brands even have UV and IR.

So comparing any LED light whether low end or top of the line to a HPS light will only tell you how that LED light compares, not how all LED lights using 600 watts compare.
 
I honestly don't remember, but I did have one main cola darn near the size of my forearm. It was all I could do to not tell the world. You will like the flavor also. It is a good strain in my book.
 
Yep, that's for sure! Send a message to me and I'll give You contacts and promotion code for discount! Fast delivery in US, local warehouse.
 
Don't worry, will share details with all of you :) currently waiting for new lights with different spectrum ratio, so it's not the end. There will be more and more info about differences

Good question! I have once wondered that same thing. I really want to know what the difference is between HPS and LED's. And even different qualities of LED's

Your quote romans 10:9*10 is wrong, check it out! Unless that wasn't a quote and I got it wrong, if so, nevermind!

That's a really good read luckyacres. My question is the 315lec if it opnly produces 315wats how strong is it really for growing plants would u have to buy 3 lecs to grow in a 5x5 space?
 
I just started a side by side, 2 leds 1200w each and 1 brand new lec 315 in between them, 5x7 scrog. Lec came in about 2 weeks into flower to replace a t5 bay and despite late start it's already hard to tell the difference. Will continue reporting on this page if you don't mind, looks like a good place. Check out green75 lec journal, he's the lec og around here! My grow shop owner swears by them too ...
 
Lol that's not a quote... I guess I should have put more spaces in those 2...thanks for letting me know that's what people might think!

Hey hey thought I'd drop a quick update on my side by side comparing of lec 315w and led 1200w. Each light covers half of the main sour diesel. Noting that the lec was introduced 2 weeks into flowering and the difference in power with led, I'm impressed by both. Those colas are getting nice and big and are sticky as hell! Small differences though. Both buds are dense and very promising but the lec seem more evenly dense along the length of the cola, appears longer I guess if that makes any sense. Lec looks like a mini cigar, led looks like a drunk Christmas tree, there, that helps? Remember, same exact plant.
lec is off for pics taking.
thinking more about this, those lec buds are just bigger, period. Not giving any definite opinion yet but I think my wife might just get a couple of lec's for her birthday! That's what she always wanted!
