I've seen the argument on here many times that led can match hps. But I have yet to see and large scale grower commit to led grows. Plus I would think the 60 hps has a larger footprint and can penetrate further in the canopy.

I've never worked with leds so I'm just another a-hole with an opinion about something I have no knowledge. LOL. Cheers.

Investment is the problem, to do what 1 HPS would do it costs a couple grand for some nice panels. Lot cheaper to set up an HPS set up and it is already proven. That said, I won't use HPS again unless I have to, I love my LEDS and I am not a cash cropper so I don't count every gram. I do a lot better under LEDS than I have under HPS but everyone won't have that experience.

I've seen some top quality buds from led in pictures but not in real life (meaning I haven't ever seen led grow bud except in a glass case but I didn't check it out). I wouldn't mind trying out some leds, as Howard Hughes would say: "It's the wave of the future."

But until I see people pulling 20 ounces off 600 watts of leds on the regular or without costing over $2K, I'll probably continue to wait for the technology to improve more before blowing a wad on equipment that is obsolete in a year or two.

I haven't smoked led grown bud but I can't imagine getting anymore high than I do off sun grown, MH or HPS, and aesthetics really don't matter much to me. Now if it improves the terpene production, which I've read it does, then a small panel for the head smoke just might be up my alley, a cheaper route to obtain the finest smoke I can. Cheers

Holy shit the power bill in Monterey is outrageous, the power bill where I am now isn't bad at all!

Have a hot tub and a guest house that usually has all the lights on all day cuz tenants are idiots plus all the electronics plus all my lights. I am happy
