I have a tent..im about ready to hang the light from the ceiling and ditch that fucker.I wish I had the head room but I'm limited to 6' plants, that gives a scant 12" to my 315's and less in my breeding tent with the 600's.

I have a 4x4 with a 1000w dialed down to 600I built a 8x10 flower room with 2 630cmh and 4 315's they're great resin stimulators.
. I was trying the led thing but..fuck that shit ! I don't get 'em.If you ever need to replace that 1000 there is a D.E.630 that's dimmable and kicks ass on hps.I have a 4x4 with a 1000w dialed down to 600

Hello fellow growers
, I just got my 600 watts of ipower pure synthetic sunshine hooked up & started. I switched from the hype of a new LED, sf4000, and stepped into the old school HPS. The light difference and intensity is insanely different. I am super stoked to get a new crop in and see what happens. These are the last ladies standing from the LED grow. One green crack and 2 Durban poison.

First time growing with hps. I did get a couple clones of the same strains. It will be interesting to see comparatively how they grow. I have recently started using scrog setup so I learn new things every time and find little ways to improve.Welcome

Did they veg under the hps bulb or switch to a cmh. My setup came with both bulbs so I do intend on using the cmh for veg and hps for flower. I will be staring a few new strains soon. I am very hopeful this new light helps make a difference in quality and quantity.

Im just using what I'm comfortable with..no need to keep up with the kids today. I grow my own for my own . no issues with so many bulb replacements to negate the use
.. Oh and electric cost ain't too scary .

I have been using 2 area 51 led panels for years now. I had a hid ballast that was emitting strong electrical interference that was frying circuit boards on household appliances (expensive) and fried the household electrical meter twice, which did not please the power company at all. Didn't know which of my ballasts was at fault so I retired them all just to be safe. No regrets about being all led now. I just picked up a spider farmer led panel which I've only used for veggies so far but my tomatoes get tomatoes And my peppers get peppers so it should work out. I have beans coming this week from ILGM so I'm looking forward to knocking the rust off my grow game pretty soon. Here are some of my veggie starts hardening off. Once I get them out of the house and into the ground I'll have space and time to get going.I've grown under LED, HPS and CMH and so far CMH comes out on top for my growing style.
You may get different results,

Good good cof. Glad to hear that!
I don't really care about these vaccines, but if it means I can get on an airplane and visit my family then I'll take it. In the 70s we had to have vaccination passes in the family passports when we lived in the Far East. They use to inject you with cowpox to combat smallpox lol.
Got some new things on the go. Kosher kush x Dirt Dog male. They all look great. And some accidental Melonade crosses (dog and gg4). Hopefully they'll not be too tranny-ish!
Peace
