Your right and your attitude much more subjective.I’ll start off by saying I’m one of those new generation COB growers, but you are completely correct that HID is still a good way to go. The people bashing them should be saying they prefer the LED route just like you and many others prefer the HID route. They are just two different paths to reach the same destination. The same goes for those HID growers that bash the LED people, it’s just silly. They are both proven methods to grow good cannabis.
I would never bash HID simply cause I’ve never used it. I have no knowledge of how it compares to my COB LEDs. Even if I did, like you said it was the system that created the whole indoor boom. Sure people could’ve used fluorescent but we all know what has its limitations and would’ve never gotten us to where we are today and that’s all thanks to HID.
I didnt bash anything but simply pushed science in their faces like they did to the site.
Ppfd is inaccurate, they were wrong.
600watts of hps is not hot compared to an 'ACTUAL' 600watt heater and it cant heat a small tent when you strap a 400cfm big bore exhaust onto it.
Led claimed ir radiation was bad and too hot in hps - funny cause sunlight is almost %50ir. Realky they forgot that trqnspiration is mother bitches most efgicient cooler and leaves actually wqnt plenty of ir.
So much more but im merely someone who prefers science over any light claims.
For this reason we see easily that hps actually has a far wider supetior spectrum to led watt for watt.
Sucks the site got trolled with this info so bad. From blurples to now they have made a toxic discussion
