Whats all the fuss about. the people on here arguing have theorhetically grown THOUSANDS of lbs of cannabis.
Bitchin about a few hundred bucks like what?

who cares, if you cant get rid of the stuff direct message me and ill make some money for you so you can afford a couple hundred bucks for lights.
and for the starters out there like me, just splurge for once in your damn life, youll make all your money back and then some after the first grow.

i mean seriously, budget my ass. seen people with pics in their links of a 100 plants and they are crying about spending 20$ on a product that will last them 10 grows

That's a load of horse shit. I have documented side by side comparison that completely contradicts that
I am sure that you know more than NASA, PHILLIPS (osram) CREE AND THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN who is working with Phillips to develop LEDs as supplemental lighting for greenhouses.or commercial greenhouse operators.

Old men stuck in their ways, led is the future, you aint gonna see no frickin HIDs in science fiction movies, come the F on dude.

maybe im wrong and there is something better than led in the future, but HID is going out of style, only people sticking to it are the old farts on here, when their generation is dead, HID will be a novelty.

they arent growing stuff on the ISS with hid bulbs.

oh wait i forgot, why dont you send nasa an email explaining why they should use HID

This forum isnt even about helping peoples problems, just for old men whose time has past to revel in their past glories.

most of which is just played up on the i ternet anyways. dudes on here talking about 100 plant flower rooms under the guise of anonymity.

if you ever seen them in real life they got a 25 watt cfl vegging 3 plants in their moms basement.

just tell mom to vent the dryer outside, thatll take care of your RH issues brah

I was young ,arrogant and foolish once but 62 years of living has thought me a lot. you ignore experience at your own expense. I was subjected to random drug testing for most of my life and only started growing and using cannabis 5 years ago when I became an MMJ patient. my grow is a legal PU grow and like most old geezers I did not learn to grow from the internet. I talk to people with training and experience and read published studies. forums like this are just entertainment. and new does not always mean better. almost all commercial growers use HIDs only PU closet growers use cheap Chinese LEDs a small number of dispensaries use T5s claiming that their customers prefer the pot that T5s produce

how many commercial growers have the money to switch out their entire lighting system to change to LED?

How many restaurants have the money to change out their entire cooking range to a more efficient model?

How many schools have the funding to change out all their furniture to new foam bullet stopping furniture?

How many gas stations have the money to change over their coolers to LED backlighted brand new coolers?

How many propane companies have the money to switch out all their conpany vehicles to more gas efficient models?

Yeah i think you get the point.

62 yrs old doesnt mean anything except your age.

working at mcdonald for 20 years doesnt make you a chef.

ask the commercial growers if they would switch out their entire system for more energy efficient, higher yield per watt lights that also reduced their heating/cooling costs.

your point is invalid, have fun with your HID

Who the hell would be stupid enough to outfit an entire commercial grow operation with a bunch of chinese crap?

Saying that is basically ASSUMING people who run commercial grow operations are stupid ass noobs who have never grown anything before.

If you got any sense of mind you would learn after your first shitty yield to get a better light than a frickin viparspectra.

i tell you what, i wouldnt want to buy anything from anyone that wpuld even consider outfitting a warehouse with MEIZI or MARS HYDRO LEDS.

i got personal experience for the last 8 years of flowers from crappy growers growing with crappy LEDS. and guess what??

they are all cheap ass chinese people, growing cheap ass chinese crap ass weed, in cheap ass houses in california.

their pot is garbage, those are the people you are referring to

you just assume everyone else on this forum is stupid, oh wow because youre 62 yrs old.

my father is 66, and hes got some stupid ass outdated ideas, BTW, so just sayin age dont mean shit

all grown with shitty chinese leds too, the feds should raid the rest of their “pot farms”
to get their garbage pot off the black market. if the feds prosecuted by quality of weed, they would dismiss the case lmaooooo

it looks like you'll all have to agree to disagree

again.

judging by the winky face from the OP i'm sure he's in a dark room somewhere laughing maniacally in the glow of his computer monitor
Just wait till Vtim meets the OP's brother "Kinggrow", he's gonna love him. lol

already met him, he was harassing me about checking my runoff a week ago.

i know its not accurate, i just wanted a general idea OR RANGE of what the water coming out the bottom of the pot was

i think hes cool

He takes a little gettin' use to. Still waiting to see the light he was talking about the UKer's are using.
Kingrow is hit or miss some things he’s got some good info on led he simply doesn’t like for whatever reason. I have qb’s and some citizen 1818 builds but I’m loving my nanolux 315’s currently too. Like I said I feel all of these kinds of lights have their place. All can grow stellar weed it’s all the bs though that leds manufactures claim that’s bs.

There seems to be quite a few gas stations changing their lighting to LED around here as well as cities but there was/is rebates to do so. Now that it’s legal here it may boost the market and lower the price, hopefully.

Commercial grows aren't going LED because it's a step down from what they already have.....they have plenty of money to make a switch, one of the local dispos here just switched there whole room from DE HPS to DE CMH like it was nothing.

LEDs are a laugh out here in Colorado, ask a dispensary what they think of them you'll get an ear full. None of these dispensaries want a light that needs to be 8 inches away from plants when there grow rooms are warehouses.

Not everyone is growing in a warehouse.
Led is far superior to inefficient hot ass hid lighting on smaller scales especially to those who have to watch there light bill
Cobs gave me a better yield over hps or cmh

Hands down 400 watts of properly done led would knock the dick off a 600 hps or cmh.

You just set in your ways and dont wanna admit the numbers dont lie.

On a commercial scale where the light bill dont matter and air conditioning cost are null it makes no sense to switch to led from hps.

For 4x4 4x8 and so on LED all day

Come on Yoda, LED doesn't need to be 8 inches from the plant, but some CAN be 8 inches from the plant.

Yeah LEDs work great for micro/closet grows that can't handle the heat or light intensity from HID lighting, that is correct.

The rest of what you said, not so much.....where do you come up with this stuff by the way? You do realize i have and use LEDs right? I bet my LEDs have more runs on them than you have total grows under your belt.
