The big switch, HPS to LED

Never claimed Swell Farms was a good grower, but their buds look better under the LEDs than in their HPS setup.
That just means he’s in az and the leds helped him with the heat issues the idiot didn’t know he had.

Some dudes buds looking less shitty than usual doesn’t exactly give me heaps of confidence in the tech.

Hid, hps light's are always better then LED lights the only thing difference is you'll save more PG&e bill with your LED lights

Some strains will look finished at week 8, but middle of week 8-9 they start kicking out new growth. These are actually 10 week strains that lots chop at week 8-9
Well i am definitely guilty of doing just that. I bet over all the years i have been growing i have never let it go to its full potential. Damnit lol

Always better in what regard lol? I don't think that statement holds any grounds at all. The biggest difference is cost efficiency but you won't get the penetration with hps as you can with properly spread out leds. One point light source Vs multiple at different angles. But ye lmk where the statement "hps always better than led" comes from.

What are you asking about? The electricity savings or the CBD/THC/Terpenes? They explain both very simply in the video, did you watch it?

edit: Electricity is based on 20 lights and an $1800 price point and the data they provided in the video.

That video is an infomercial. It's basically an advertisement. youtube is a terrible place to get non-biased information. Just about everyone has an agenda or a product they're pushing.

Look.. HID lights thousand Watts or the best for growing the only thing it brings too much heat into your tent and too much PG&e what is the best for growing depends on your atmosphere hid all the way but I grow out of LEDs save me money. And a heat it causes is not much as an LED light I push a thousand watts in LED actual watts and that's because my garage get too hot especially if I put in the hid light 1000 Watts but it's better than LEDs bigger buds more light the perks is he said more money than a thousand watt HID light and not too much heat in your tent is HID light produces a lot of heat and stress if you don't have the right components AC all that the better grow in winter with HIDs I grow all year round every year with my LEDs save me money and heat during the summer but HIDs bring more yield to your buds

You said you grow feminized AK. Now you're saying they came from a "stressed" plant.

How are they feminized? What happened to the stressed plant after you chopped the top off?
Umm i wasnt stressed until i chopped off the top of of plant bro. All you questions will be answered if you go back a read brother. AGAIN i bought feminized seeds that PRODUCE a female plant 99% of the time. One was stressed( top cut completely off) and had seeds. I used that seed and all was normal. Nothing DIFFERENT from any bought seed i had bought before. Ran low on cash and had a thought. Hmmm what if i stressed and plant on PURPOSE. So i did. I put a plant in the CLOSET with NO ventilation with a 400w hps and a space heater. Got alot of seeds from a stressed plant and used them. Those SEEDS i used for almost a year now( instead of paying for) i have grown over a 100 of with only 4 or 5 being small. They DID just fine. Thats the 4th time i explained this shit
