Have you ever seen a good 1000W Super HPS in action?

Blinding! I use them and there is no way that setup will come close. I recently got a used 1000W MH/HPS magnetic ballast for $75 and two Super HPS bulbs that are good Hortilux knock-offs for $40 each.

Spend your $800US/1100CAN then wait 12 years to get that money back from electric power savings while growing inferior buds.

With any HID bulb and my butterfly type open reflectors I can focus the light where needed or spread the wings and flood the grow space. Most LEDs have a specific sweet spot and that's it. DIY guys with their own COB builds have the best of both worlds and that's where I would go if I drift off my HID schedule.

:peace:

Looks like LED excels in tents and small spaces but doesn't spread & penetrate like HID in larger spaces.

@Chunky Stool have you seen any big ops try? ive seen QB builds with cobs on the corners to deal with that issue. i think its initial cost thats stopping them.

GML is giving it a decent crack but he's made quite a few mistakes...the usual cal/mag and transpiration issues when crossing over from hps etc. its a great grow though! I reckon his next round of led will be the one that wrecks the hps

they aren't shit, but they aren't ready for commercial growing and they aren't as Awesome as you highly invested people make them out to be. And the only way for you guys to push them is to make up lies. As I said before. If and when an LEd light hits the market, that works as well as DE, it will be well known and a line will form to get them.

Showing your stupidity again i guess you missed all the lines and months of waiting from the hlg lights selling out? Literally everything you say is wrong and can be proven wrong.
