Because you cant. You wouldn't be able to produce a lab test result for your home grown.

350-400 watts will absolutely replace a 600w HPS no problems. If it doesnt yield you the same as you did under the hps, you fucked up your technique/environment conditions somewhere. That's not the LEDs fault, it's the grower's.

No you don't. Just feed your plants as HPS. Treat everything the same. Nothing is different.

What doode lol. I am in colorado and there is a shitload of places you can go in and get your bud tested. It's like $150 for a potency test.
I plan on sending in my next harvest for testing. Not because I have an HPS grow to compare it to, but just for curiousity.
What? That is totally false. You need 85F room temps with LED for your plants to be able to utilize that amount of intensity. Compare a harvest at 85F to one at 75F under the LEDs and you'll see a difference no doubt.
cant agree with that pal i consantly pull 20 ounce we same strain in same tent if i pull 15 next grow we have words

I pulled 18 ounces using 420 watts of chinese blurple LEDs in a 2x4 tent (check my sig). Chinese blurple LEDs are half as efficient as your QBs are. If I can pull 18 ounces with 420 watts of those, you can absolutely pull 20 ounces with 400w of QBs. 400w of QBs = 800w of the blurples I was using.cant agree with that pal i consantly pull 20 ounce we same strain in same tent if i pull 15 next grow we have words
I would personally expect 20-24 ounces using 400w of QBs in a 3x3 tent. If it didnt happen, I fucked up or my genetics were shit.
ok but the led guys tell me different this is wot doin me head in

You should have no problem yielding the same amount of bud, once you figure out how to grow under LED. There is a slightly different approach. You need to supplement calmag for waterings, higher temps to make up for no IR in LED.cant agree with that pal i consantly pull 20 ounce we same strain in same tent if i pull 15 next grow we have words

Show us your latest lab stuff. Or anything. You already know most of us talking the way you do will back our shit up with lab results.

That's what im wondering. Whats the point of sitting here in an LED forum when you're a dedicated HPS grower except to stir some shit. I agree 100% that some people want to switch regardless.

I dont have any? And what would be the purpose, i never claimed any potency differences... And how would you go about backing yourself up with lab results if you said you can't get lab results from home grown weed.....?
I dont want to argue with you. I just am trying to correct bad info.

Because they know LEDs are better in the back of their mind... but don't want to believe the countless grows proving their performance or the data because they're stuck in their HPS ways... aka being in denial that LEDs are as good as they actually are.
I understand where they come from though. The shitty LEDs over the last few years, the bullshit claims they made, the money wasted on shitty LEDs that did worse than HPS. But that's NOT the case anymore.

You know how. Be serious for once
