I can't believe this crybaby bringing that into other threads.
I'm not sure how it went down at the beginning but there are 2 comps.
Not sure what your problem is to be honest?????????I can't believe this crybaby bringing that into other threads.
I'm not a fan of the LED only rule either but you either comply, don't enter, or put your own comp together but not like the bozo trying to run one simultaneously the "Original Party Cup Comp"
Your the one Trolling all around being a baby crying about the rules in the comp. Grow the fuck up
It would if he were using equal wattage. 16,000 or 8 or whatever of HLG 550's (or the new hlg600's) up against equal wattage of Gavita 1000 watt hps double ended . Then weigh in and see what the verdict is. Throw in electricity costs comparison as well..especailly air conditioning difference if any. See whose king of the mountain.
I'm not complaining. I'm looking to see that we all play in the same comp next year with all lights nothing more.I can't believe this crybaby bringing that into other threads.

Let's not forget that pesky damn dehumidifier that needs to run much more in the LED room as well
I don't think extra calmag quite works like that. Never has for me.
Your being a typical led fanboy dumbass derailing this thread with garbage that is way off topic.
I would beg to differ, Bumping the elemental ppm of Nitrogen along gives more for the plant to work with.
Yeah but 30%?? Huh? If a calmag supplement did that...the hydro store shelves couldn't keep it in the store long enough. Lol.
Not stating a 30% by using cal-mag - just throwing out a random #
Each light has its own nutritional needs as well as environmental needs. Adding extra Cal Mag when it's not needed could actually cause lockout. Point being if we matched everything exactly ether the HPS would suffer from over fertilization and high temps or the led would suffer from deficiencies and low temps. You dial each room just like you dial individual strains. GML has Death Bubba dialed under hps to a T I would think running it for years vs first ever real run with led.To be honest and NOT HATING ON LED or HLG (those are fine pieces of equipment) - anyone that can set their feeling aside would look at thise test and completely discredit the end results on one factor alone - CAL-MAG
You can not give a significant nutrient input to one set of plants and not the other and even remotely call it a "VS"
He should have gave exact nutrient programs to both rooms.
Obviously bumping the Nitrogen, Calcium, Magnesium, (and whatever else is in his brand of Cal-Mag) will influence plant growth.
How do we know that the HPS yield wouldn't have gone up 30% with the addition of Cal-Mag??
.
Point being it is not a single variable comparison.
This is so true and key. Tailor each room/plant morphology to the light particulars. I thought this from the beginning of gml' s side by side test run. And that is the method he's use to growing plant wise with hps lamps. I really think using the big panels..and to get maximum yield..he should really try shorter plants (less veg..smaller pots or more than one in those tankers he uses) & higher plant count. More of a sea of green type op. See what he gets then. Definitely would like to see a tree grow like he does with Gavitas and more of a sog with the led panels in another side by side vs. comparison. And equal true wattage. Maybe run the new hlg600's for the led side as well.
