L.E.D's vs MH or HPS

hahahahahah $1800.

tell em to shove it. get a HPS for $200...
$1800? Someone is selling an $1800 LED setup that's not as good as a $200 HPS? I must have missed that post... DIY LEDs cost about $.70 a watt and each watt of LED light is worth 4 watts of HID.

Arrid, they say there's a retard in every family and that if you don't think so, it's probably you... Guess what buddy... its you.
Says the guy whos preaching nonsense about how good LEDs are


There may only be shitty LED systems on the market now, but that has nothing to do with LEDs themselves... LEDs are very easy to DIY, so that bull about cost is, just that, bull... Specially if you look at it over time, factor in replacement HID blubs and over all power used/saved...
You're the one perpetuating myths, YOU show the world how the production of an LED system warrants the cost in comparison to HPS

You ever wish you could look back and say you remember exactly when the future became the present? Its right now, this is it. LEDs have started to replace HIDs in a very shabby way ($900 for a UFO, wtf?), but that will change. HIDs are dinosaurs and in a world that is using more and more energy everyday, 600w and 1000w HIDs are going to be too expensive.
HIDs are dinosaurs? LOL I'd rather have a dinosaur that produces large quantities of quality bud, but hey-- i'm not growing for "personal use" like you probably are. By the way, if you are so concerned about saving energy, you're in the wrong game.

I always say, grow however you want, but I think people who bash LEDs are either really dumb or are trying to keep people using a method that is detectable.
Really dumb? For wanting top notch production? What good is being undetectable when you cant even flower an Oz off of your plants LOL. You have nothing to hide from because you couldn't grow mold on bread.

You have a 1000 watts of power turning on and off every 12 hours and wonder, how did they suss me out??? Derrr.... Do people who grow with HIDs also put big signs outside their grow rooms? You got a picture of your big neon "Arrid's Grow" outside that HID setup you got going???
You think LEDs are going to stop you from getting busted? You're wrong wrong wrong.

it doesnt matter how much they cost. i wouldnt care if that whole panel was free. i still wouldnt take it. well maybe i would but not for growing. maybe for making some funky lights in my bathroom or something.

it doesnt matter how much it costs per watt. LEDs dont have enough lumens per watt compared to HID. and no, LED watt isnt related to HID wattage.



i think somebody needs the grow FAQ :mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen: awwww

LEDs are good for nothing more than key chains. Don't bother wasting your time on them like Loki did, or else you might end up with hurt pride telling people lies about how good they are. LOL. Loki, don't make other people suffer for your bad investment-- by the way those are some wild accusations for someone who's got so many posts. LOL.
You don't know how much I spent of LEDs, yet you say its a bad investment.
Now, I could state things as fact, without knowing any information...
Let's say, I say GrowTech has AIDS from having butt sex with animals.
I haven't seen him screwing sheep or monkeys, but he does seem like the type...
Yet, that doesn't make it true.

Try finding out some actual factual information before you rush to judgement... I say $.70 a watt is a good deal for lights that last 100,000 hours.... and LED light is 4x stronger than HIDs, so you need 1/4 the power....

I'd sooner fuck an animal than waste my time on LED systems... i will tell ya that, so you better keep your lady out of my sight :)

As far as your factual information... It's fact that LEDs suck in production compared to HPS, if you can prove otherwise- I STRONGLY encourage you to.

Just an FYI, these CAN be detected by thermal because they DO produce heat... No way to produce light without producing heat.
That my friend is the stupidest thing I have ever heard.

I would sarcastically ask you if you had any idea at all how close you would have to be to see the heat generated by an LED, but I'm just not that interested in finding out just how stupid you are.

You are either really really really stupid or a really really really stupid cop... either way, I'm ignoring you now... dumbass...

1) I never purchased an LED system, but I don't need to to know that LEDs produce light, which also produces heat.

2) Ignore me, but whether you like it or not there will be plenty of people stopping by to tell you that LEDs are the biggest waste of time on the planet (next to picking your ass of course).

3) You're going to have to find something a little bit better than "stupid" or "cop" because whether I am either or not, I have a vast number of successful high production grows under my belt, whereas you probably initially came here looking for advice on how much molasses to feed your seedlings. :mrgreen:

So, you don't deny you have AIDS from butt sex with animals...

Well, monkey fucker... I have a grow log going at CC, you can check it out. But I'm not the president of LED growing, there are many other decent LED grows... Admittly, there are many more poor LED grows out there, but usually, a seasoned grower can spot the many problems in those grows that have nothing to do with LEDs. If you can't tell the difference, just PM me, I'll tell you.

Molasses? wtf dude? I came here today because of a post by Earl at CC. I figured if he was here, there might be some smart growers here... same as CC, nothing but forum trolls bashing LEDs and they've never even tried them... same fucking people who tell the noobs 'flush.. flush..' for every problem... even too much flushing...

Sorry, my personal opinion of other sites related to growing cannabis is not high, mainly because they are filled with "experimental" crap like LED growing.


I'm glad you're willing to settle for decent, most strive for better. Also, you don't need to mention the piss poor LED grows out there, you put pictures of one on the first page.

Also, please excuse me from PMing you, if I want bad information I'll go to CNN.

By the way, I know people who have tried them, and admit that they are complete waste of time and money.

Buy expensive LED system = shit.
wire up cheap LED system = shit.
Hang your HPS and plug in ballast = bud production.

That's less than 25 watts of LEDs... It'll make me a sticky 2 oz... Try doing that with HIDs or even CFLs.... and then you tell me who's settling for 'decent'...

CNN? Does that mean you're a Fox fan? Probably a McCain supporter too, huh? Like picking the dinosaur do ya? Whatever dude.. I'll keep posting my grows and let people decide for themselves. Just remember, in a year or so, when you're pretending that you knew LEDs where the shit all along, I'll remind you of this...

You need to find out how they grew and what LEDs they used. The 5mm were barely useable, but the newer .4 watt 10mm LEDs are amazing. They're like 20x the lumens of the older 5mm LEDs... And they run so cold the leaves can grow right around them and even hold them down.

Its ok though. Your type said the samething about CFLs back in the day... I would expect nothing less from the trolls when it comes to LEDs...

Not that my place on politics matters here or anything, but I understand how fucked this country is regardless of who cons their way into presidency.

If over the next year or so they produce LED systems that can compete with HPS system production, not only will I change my opinion, I will change the way I grow... but based on how everything has gone with the two lighting options, I don't think that's going to happen :)
