which do you think would be better for producing better buds?
600w hid vs 750/1000w LED

Both ! LED leads in efficiency of power

This is where I’m at. I have a mh/hps 1000w dimmable. 600-750-1000w.
During the summer I was thinking about going LED to keep the temps down, but figured it may be expensive and may not be worth it.
I figure 600w of mh/hps is the Max I’ll be able to use during the summer
Was seeing which would be better and why.
Not looking for a bias opinion for either option. Know what I mean?
Not talking about shitty leds on Amazon like Mars or Vipar.
HID or CMH could be good in cold climates to keep ambient temperature at a proper level. If heat is a problem you need to run less watts but you don't want to sacrifice yield, thus leds come into play. Higher efficiency (efficacy) led panels can output more light for a given input wattage compared to a HID.
You can switch your 1000w hps for a 600w led.

I’m prob gonna look at those links you gave me yesterday and watch some YouTube videos. For a 4x4x6.5ft grow tent, what do you think the max led wattage for that could be?
6 plants for next grow

600 is sweet spot. 500 lowest. Max would be like 800.
