Light change :-)

I'll stick with hps or cmh for the time being. I might play around with the quantum boards I already have a little more but only cause I spent so much damn money on em. I have seen a number of facilities try out whole rooms of led not cheap ones either and switch back to hid.

I have never seen any light out perform 3100k Phillips in a 315 cmh as far as quality. I have run HLG boards, de cmh, se hps, and mh(trying de hps now) My least favorite was the led, I had to make oil from the whole run under it. I've seen other experienced growers end up with the same bullshit bud off white LEDs. I'm not saying it wasn't our fault, but what I am saying is that it's not as simple as switching out your light for an led and continuing the same garden practices.

Still haven't seen anything put out quality like a cmh. These tents are so easy the plants just love it and with very little effort on my part it's fire every time.

From my experience cmh and white led grew pretty close to the same, both don't particularly like cold temperatures. I noticed my buds were fluffier with the cmh though and that's why I switched to led, good product yes but I couldn't stand the big fluffy buds. Yield stayed the same between both, 630w vs 600w but the much more dense nugs on the led waa worth it to me.

Ya I'm just finishing up a run under a 315 cmh. Very impressed with the buds and tric production.

Cmh is very forgiving compared to hps. I ran that entire grow in a 4x4 tent and never once hook up an exhaust, just kept fans running and humidifier on.

Temps fluctuated between 77-83 and rh was always around 45-50

Plants loved it. Rock hard buds and sticky as fk.

I'm about to switch to white leds. Going with cutter strips for 1440 watts. I'll be using the results from the cmh as the benchmark.

If they don't perform as well, I'll fill the room with cmh lol

I'm sure those cutter strips will work well. I'll tell you from my experience the white LEDs work best with a room temp between 83 and 86 degrees, if it gets below 80 I get that purple striping on the stems.
