exactly 180watt led vs 1k hps.... you tell me which one has more light out put and lumens... more lights more buds (besides the other factors obviously)

You could look into: http://shop.haightsolidstate.com/Haight-Solid-State-PPF-800-LED-Grow-light-PPF-800.htm It WOULD save a lot in the long run. Think about running 600w for 12/12 for multiple grows compared to 180w 12/12 for multiple grows. LOTS of electricity. They say those are good for a 4x4 cab which is plenty for 6 plants.

thank's for the link mate ;) so do you think if i bought 1 of these lights , it could grow 6 plants and get a 1 once yield from a plant ?

Watts only matter on your electricity bill man, that is the point of LED's. They have more USABLE light in photosynthesis. Spectrum is KEY. That's how they are so much less power but you can replace a 600w with them.

show me, because unless you have personally experienced led than idk how u KNOW this... i have done side by side.. 180 watt led is no way near a 400 watt hid system. i would say its more like 240 hid.

I have never used one personally, but that's the one I plan on buying in the near future. You could easily achieve 6 1oz honnies with that. 12/12 from seed those girls, they'll stay nice and small but get nice hardy buds. Or veg em for 14 days, tie em down for a little lst and your results will be even better. Given you use nutes at proper strength and your temps are in spec along with everything else. Don't take my word for it, just try to keep your artificial enviornment as close to perfect as possible and you will be satisfied with your results.

While the lumens measurement is based on the sensitivity of the human eye to light, PAR Watts objectively measure the total watts of Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) emitted by the lamp. It accounts for the nutritional value and is a direct measure of light energy available for all-important plant photosynthesis.

http://shop.haightsolidstate.com/Haight-Solid-State-PPF-800-LED-Grow-light-PPF-800.htm - even with those 6W - i am uncertain of the canopy penetration that you would get. SCROG would work well with those though, I'm Sure. If i was growing vertical with those i would want panels on each side and top of the tent.

Notice the spacing on those 6w LEDS, they are not packed in there like the 3w. newer 6w panels will have more LEDS on them.

sorry for my ignorance , but can i ask what SCROG is ? all this info has been a great help, and I'm getting more and more to what i think i need ;) alot of 6w LEDS :)

i would be happy to buy 3/4 of them lights if priced at the above, as long as it worked ;):)


I'll keep doing as much research as possible, but again i thank you for your help/advice/info


kind regards

SCROG - Screen of Green. Train your plants into a screen so your buds are all at the same horizontal level. MAXIMUM light to ALL bud structures of the plant. It's essentially perfect for an LED. Instead of 1 main cola, all your buds are main colas

good man thank you, i can 100% understand that theory ;)

as you say and BIG LED light/space to cover the while of my grow room, so it covers the whole area, this way with the buds/plant, not exceeding other, covering light from each others, every 1 get a piece of the cake ;) with that setup the the LED would be able to work its magic ;) thanks again .



p,s very very nice plants you have there,


kind regards

not my plants, just a quick google images search for an example. But, yea, whoever did it, did it well. Hope you understand, its pretty easy really I did it with a couple plants a while back. Good luck with your hid/led choices
