I just do not get this led/cob stuff...all the talk of hps heat.is a killer..
but you have to add heat to the led/cobs....?wtf
What's the point?
Large scale veg...led/cob 100%
Large scale veg...lec 100%
Large scale bloom..DE 100%...with your choice of led/cob/lec for mixed spectrum.
Just my opinion.
My experience is that I just don't have to run an AC. The lights heat up the room to the point where the plants are happy and never too hot. So same wattage w/o ac in my room is the benefit.
Im still of the opinion that no LEDs are hid killers. I still have yet to see any of the cob/QB guys do better than any of the hid growers with dialed systems. Led in my system max put me up .1 gpw over hps. Which doesn't justify a 400-1000% price increase Imo.
Both lighting types are just tools. I think everyone should use whatever they feel like and works in their setups. No lighting is better than another. More efficient in light output, maybe. But hid you get uv and ir, LEDs no chance so you gain some benefits, lose others. Anyone saying a specific lighting type is better just looks and sounds like a balloon knot, lol.
