Nobody can stop the tide of history,It's like a train replaces a steam engine and a high-speed rail replaces a train....LED or HPS is okay for growth,just LED is better and better. Person loves be better ,right?I think alot of what your seeing is inexperienced growers choosing LED before they know how to grow, it's rampant on this site. I agree with the small setups we see over and over, mostly guys choosing LED out of convenience since the white leds can be ran at half wattage of hps which makes the heat factor much easier to deal with in there mind when a good intake/exhaust system is all a hps grower needs. I'm testing some Quantums now to see how they do, one setup similar to hps with boards running at max and hung high like a 1k hps to let plants grow up to lights and another spot ran with a blanket of boards ran lower to plants similar to how strips are used. If these tests come back out yielding HPS in same size area i will change out my 1k hps's rooms but if not oh well it was worth the investment to find out the truth. So far I can say the quantums are doing a great job compared to mh/hps grows but i haven't finished a grow with them yet so time will tell and I'm sure I will let everyone know if a 20 year hps vet converts to LED or if they fail.
