What do you think of a pair of HLG 260's and a 315 in a 4 x 4 tent would do? Thinking about trying it out when I start my next grow.. Grow would likely be fall winter so heat is a plus but afraid it might be to much heat and possibly to much light for a 4 x 4
Love trying new ideas.
Ive got a 1k DE in my 5x5. air cooled sunsystem hood is where its at.
Impressive.

Good old HPS is good old HPS, but if you dont grow outside, why does it matter much if its summer or winter? I mean if you grow inside of your house, do you keep all the windows open in your grow room in the winter or what? I know some might be able to pull out air from outside or they grow in some cold garage, but i think most people with tents grow inside. My indoor temps are almost the same, it doesent matter if its -25C or +25C. Sure i could open all my windows in my apartment and make it really cold inside, but who would like to live that way? xD Sure if its an extra hot day in the summer, the tent temperatures might go up 2 or 3 degrees(using HPS), so LED would be better in some extra hot days. But the heat from HPS does nothing more than dry up the air in my flowering tent really, which means good humidity in the summer and waaaaay too low humidity in the winter without using a humifier. On my veg tent i have a LED and that doesent dry up the tent as much, so its good for that. Especially since i dont have as strong air removal from it, it keeps the warmth and moisture in there well.
My HPS help me massively in winter because I grow in tent in an out house.
Along the lines of the bumper sticker, "don't laugh it's paid for".
Yea, but my point was that not most grow in some non heated outhouses. Therefore saying that HPS is good for winter because it warms things up does not apply to most, but only on minority. Therefore its pointless thing to throw out, unless you also mention that it requires special set up for it to be useful, because it is not true that HPS helps most in the winter, because most dont grow in some unheated shed. It can help some, but for most the heat is only a problem that needs to be sorted with cooltubes etc. summer or winter
So I am in the minority (according to your secret poll of all growers) and have been for decades so I know exactly what I'm talking about and LED is shit in my situation.
What the fuck are you blabbering about? I told you that HPS is better for your type of situation and in many situations. I repeated your reasoning if you did not notice and told you why it doesent apply to everyone, but just a minority part of growers. Is it too hard for you to believe that most people dont have some shed that sits outside unheated while the weather goes too low? Sure i did not make any polling about it, where the heck did you get the idea that most people or even large part of people grow outside in the cold winter?
You said about minorties so I am. One of them.
