Research incomplete on LEDs but the results from a small investment have been noticeable.
Small fortune maybe...
Anyways.
I bare bulb 600s combined with LEDs for canopy coverage in a stacked Coliseum build.
Results have been exceptional yet I feel there could be some modifications.

I will explain further If anyone is operating a similar situation.

It is impressive! I have begged monsters.just to see as well as an entire room set up with just 7 gallon bags.
Still need to rotate, more out of habit but, at the end of the day thr combo is producing a much better smoke and yield then either of them solo.

If these leds work out for me, winter time I would dedicate a area to that style of grow with some monster retired moms

I needed a different style of training and plant positioning in order to maximize the sheer amout of light in the area.
Plant too close were light burning and too many dark spots by just "adding light".
Bought a light meter, retooled a bit. Moved room to about 12 feet.away... and reframed.
Wanted room to move a little easier for plant rotation, water, etc.
Plus the led distance from plant was not ideal.
Bestva 2000w is the brand I ended up going with after a few others just sucked!
I know it's not top of the line but in conjunction with 3 600hps I wasn't going to spend a grand a fixture.
They work well. A bit too well.
So I had to take the time to relearn my system.
Currently running turbo Ghost, gelato, pinkberry and sour diesel DIESEL Kush.
Each has thier role to play in the layout and last run was fantastic.

Sound delicious never had diesel kush and ghost before, yea I see what your saying a lot of variables. Lucky for me I don’t do training grows I figure that style of grow would just benefit cola on top and side buds

Only way I wouldn't train would be if I was doing SOG. Some type of low stress is almost always needed and results from training even in small doses are more than proof.
Just saying
Variance between HPS and LED is significant and the Vert bulb room setup with LED panels wasn't optimized is all.
End of the day there was a need for a few more square ft, less height on risers, run off for risers and wall mount positioning.
Plus the addition of 3 of the 2000W bestvia (not sure of my spelling)LEDs
This allows for greater spacing and coverage for the 600s and a new central l/rear/back wall platform.
