Have you got any pics of your exo cheese? Please share and okay people, somebody give me a good idea what route to go lightwise, add say another 4x25w cfl or to bite the bullet and buy a hps I really don't have the funds for, or other cheap lighting ideas?

You can pic up a cheap hps light from the bay mate you won't regret it mate makes a big difference cfls just don't cut it when it comes to flowering

It's the ballast that I'm struggling with, can I get plug and play hps? Cfl has not done me wrong so far but these ladies deserve better!

You can get a cheap magnetic ballast , bulb and shade from the bay for around £55-£60

Your using sterling Mr Green! Is this a UK supplier because as you can see I don't have weeks to wait I need speedy delivery lol UK supplier would be ideal for me as I'm from Manchester

But you can get a digital ballast for a few extra £££s

Hi mate yes I'm UK you can get most of them
To send next day delivery if you don't mind paying the extra postage costs

So I'll be straight, say I have £100 to spend on my flowering period, I will need boost notes (bud candy) I have ionic Bloom and ionic pk 14:15 is hps the most cost effective? If been looking at building my own Led with like 2 cobs that will cost maybe £40 per cob?

a single cxa3070 cree cob , the price is down to £17 now just for the cob, and the heat sinks are £4.99,,
look at what a single cob can do here https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=284309

I don't know much about leds nothing really lol so I stick to the hps but I think that the leds are the more cost effective for usage but you have to spend big money to buy a decent one to get ok yields good thing with a cheap hps is that you can still produce a decent yield. What medium are you useing I use canna with there boost produces good result but its abit pricey thou

Not really sure about the leds but I wouldn't flower with one I think they yield poor the expensive ones probably produce but I'm just stuck in my ways now hps all they way lol there plenty that do use them thou have a look around see what sort of results people are getting

I'm using biobizz allmix not the best but just what I had to hand when the clones came, I'm not very good when it comes to led myself, but if we was to eliminate the budget crisis would led be a lot better than hps or is it a farce? The Internet is extremely bias when we need straight answers

i think that comes down to the growers preference in dealing with heat and space led are good but I prefere the hps for yield and cost of the unit each person will have a different view.best thing to do is check out some grow journals see what you like and what works for you

There's already a lot of comparison grow journals on Google hps vs led

I'm not a technology fan haha! To many things to go wrong, but if I'm forking out I need to know, I think led is amazing but still not as reliable as hps, led have varied results, hps results are pretty steady 1g per 1w would be nice
