HPS or LED for flowering

I have 1 600w Galaxyhydro led and 1 300w Galaxyhydro led and I'm switching to flowering and I'm wondering which would be better for a faster bigger yield. I have a 600w HPS light and a 4x4x6 grow tent

This will be a debate. I am pro LED all the way. If your LED fixtures do put out a true 600 and 300 watts reapectively, then that seems like it would surpass a 600 watt HPS alone. Most will argue better yeilds from HPS. However l like LED and quality over quantity.

Use both LEDs. The 600 is marketed to compete against a 600 HID and the 300 is the same story. They aren't the best lights on the market, but you might be surprised by the yield from them. Run both the LEDs, your electric bill will be lower and yields will be higher. Looking forward to hearing the smoke report.

That is going to be quiet the debate if some heavy hitting opinionated growers get in here. I haven't tried LED yet but I here there good and can cause more thc due to the infrared or something, I'm tired and can't quiet remember. But my HPS has always done well for me. Be careful some led lights say there 600 watt but use some light frequencies that the plant didn't quiet use basically waisting that wattage from what I here, so you buy a 600 and you really on get like 400 but I'm only saying what I herd from a buddy who tried and his friend who tried. They were not pleased and recommended hps but everyone is different. It's like sex man get out there and try all different things. Just don't let anyone fuk you always be the one fukin.

True. All LEDs are not created equal. Generally you get what you pay for. Check out some of the DIY builds on here getting 1.2 grams per watt or more.
