im at 3 weeks btw
Ok...the difference is just crazy...blowin me away. My root system is 10 times bigger. I hope i pull a good yeald and i hope the buds are tighter. My led gives me airy buds the reason im trying hps
Because you used the WRONG LEDs my guy.
I agree...i cant realy afford the name brand leds.everyone always argues on whats better. Imo they may be better but not worh what they cost. If anything im gonna add a cmh.
i was gonna say WHY would you go back??? some mars led specials?
they are very worth it... but its a long run thing imo ... replacing bulbs for HIDs and the added electric cost as well as the cost to offset all the heat output from the HIDs... also all those bulbs, once used, have to go somewhere and the chemicals in them then go there also... landfills full of hid light bulbs that I contributed too is NOT where I want to be
Nah i was on a tight budget when i first started. When i got my 2 300w units i thought i had 600w but realy only about 300 total...so then i spent the 360$ on the mars 192 it has about 430 actual watts. So i just ran em until diods started going out on the 192 finished out my grow then got a good deal on my 1000w hps and like i said...blown away. But i know there are realy good leds out there but damn expensive
ah gotcha.. yeah the nice LEDs are not cheap.. I am slowly upgrading. from a single 600 Watt HPS it is a process for sure
Yeah, so this is right. The diff between an hps and a cheap led will be massive. But even with a proper led, they will stretch a lot more under the hps. I just started using quantum boards, after using hps for many years, and I was surprised by the difference in vertical growth. The qbs make great buds, just less stretch.
To be honest or what i paid for my leds about 500$ all togeather i got about 10 grows out of them and they werent shit grows
im just hoping i can tighten em up with the hps that was my last grow with the mars....this was my very first.
So got my moneys worth out of em but i gotta say im way excited to see how these 5 turn out...would love to get at least a lb.
I haven't realy done any cob research. I see alot of people talkin about them though.im not very good at workin on small stuff like that. Cant see. Do you have to soder wires and what not? And where do u order your parts from?
Nice....thanks for the info. Im gonna deffinetly check it out
Yeah, no! Those look pretty good. Not sure what ur yield was with the led, but you shouldn't expect a huge jump with hps. Some leds will yield more than hps. If the light was meh, then yes. But if not, then gotta be a grower! Some things that really helped me level up are learning how to use ph to optimize nute uptake, when and how to use nutes, relationship between temps and humidity(vpd), lst, mainlining, and other training tech, and ROOTS (but seems like you kinda got this one down) Once you just have enough light, these are the things that will help u maximize!
Needed AC for the led? You're in for a real battle...
