If you could only keep one, which one would it be and why?I've been running the HLG ELITE 650-700w & 1000w HPS in the same room for going on 3 grows now if anyone has a question I may be able to help.

vpd says no. you're mixing it up with metabolism. but you can achieve the same vpd with different temps...You don't want to keep your tent below 80 if you're using white light LEDs. In fact, you want to keep it above 80. This is because LED doesn't put out the infrared light that an HID does, and you want your canopy temps at or slightly above 80 to aid in transpiration.
depends. if youre only getting a half a gram per watt with a 600HPS you might not get 50% more yield in the same space by replacing it with the LED. The LED certainly has about 1.5X as much light as a SE 600HPS, but it depends what you do with it.So am I getting this straight? After reading all these comparisons I am getting the impression that the 550 can beat a 600 watt hps in yield with less watts and heat and comes close to a 1000 hps in terms of total yield.
Is this correct?
Still waiting on some clarity of the cost to dehumidify the LED room vs running the AC longer periods of time in the HPS room once the Quest Dehumidifiers are set up.Lack of frost was from overwatering and too high RH. High 70s and low 80s humidity is not good. It's proven running lower RH increases frost. I imagine the opposite would be true in an opposing situation.
The HPS side has been 50-60% vs 75-85%.
From that example no. If you're only getting 12oz from a 600w hps then either you're not filling the space properly or something is going wrong with the genetics/environment. Adding more light wont solve that.So am I getting this straight?

Let's say you did a 4 x 4 with some nice Goji in it from rooted clones under a 600 watt hps. You ended up with 12 ounces. Then for the next run all you did was change to a 550 and the same strain gave you 16 to 20 ounces because it "almost" equals a 1000 watt hps.
Would this estimate be correct? I'm having a very hard time believing this and I'm an open minded guy
and 2g per watt EASILY...i love this from his first post
qoute The LEDs will save you a ton on your electricity bill, they'll put out WAAAAAAY less heat, you'll run less risk of light bleaching your plants, you'll actually be able to see your plants under them, and in my opinion will increase quality across the board. Oh, and you'll very likely see higher yields too.
He has almost no experience, but he has an opinion on everything.
For someone who spends as much time on this forum as you do, you do seem to disregard the success stories and instead just grouse about how full of shit LED proponents are. I notice that you don't tend to comment on the posts that actually support (with data - including those pics you're asking for) the assertion that LED can out-yield HPS, but you do jump all over anything that can be construed negatively. There are pics all over, dude. You don't seem to want to acknowledge anything that conflicts with your paradigm.This forum is hilarious.
Must be some real fucking Master Growers up in here.
I've never seen such discouraging input for someone who would be a new grower and just wanting to grow themselves a few plants for personal use, especially in the legal states with a spare closet.
Oh cool - Hang this HLG550 and I'm guaranteed 1000g of top shelf dank... Oh wait you mean I need to spend $1000+ on that light but it won't work on it's own? I also need a $1000+ Dehumidifier cause only the most efficient will do - don't wanna be caught using one of them janky wally world 70 pint fuckit's.
Plus I better get me some Mammoth P too while I'm at it cause we all know - Plants Won't Grow without that shit!!
The yield claims in this section of RIU invoke one response - BULLSHIT! Pics or it didn't happen Bro!
And don't forget you have to run 50 watts per sq ft 12" from the canopy and temps in the high 80's or your plants will get sick and die .........This forum is hilarious.

haha ive given up trying to stay away...i'll be travelling the other side of the world soonish and i'll still be here hating on the non led growing naysayers!Possibly, but if the environment/genetics off in the 1st place its still an uphill battle.
Welcome back ...lol
I haven't seen anyone suggesting anything of the sort.And don't forget you have to run 50 watrs per sq ft 12" from the canopy and temps in the high 80's or your plants will get sick and die .........
It was you stating a day or so ago that my temps would lead to sick plants so you must have amnesia lol.....I haven't seen anyone suggesting anything of the sort.
I quoted your statement here to refresh your memory ........Slower growth, deficiencies, generally shittyness.
