As much as I believe in LEDs, we don't see that many successful grows with them yet (I mean 2L bottles type of buds). MOST people on here that are having wicked results with LEDs is because they are using other lighting sources. So for a beginner, I can see the HPS as a good way to start growing because it's a proven system. If you fail, you can't blame it on the light. I think it's not a bad idea to get a grow under your belt with HIDs before moving to LEDs, but that is only my opinion, when I harvest my LEDs plants in 60 days or so I might change my mind.
