So I have been growing indoor with HPS (1000 watters) for going on years now. A couple years ago I moved to a new place and designed a new grow op. It is underground and very well insulated obviously but I keep having tons of issues with heat, especially during the summer months.. Winter is my prime time, for the best crops, but I also know this is the normal protocol everywhere in general.
I have very short head space. 6 ft ceilings until I can eventually put the time and funds in to dig out the floor deeper and patch it all back up. But I'm planning on doing that in a year or two.
So my question is, what type of light specifically between LED and CMH, should I transfer to? I have used the 315cmh as supplemental lighting before. Never used an LED period. I am old school and come from old school roots.. I'm not into building and customizing an LED myself, if I was to go with LED it would be ready to use right out of the box so I would need to know the most effective, efficient and affordable choice with that option. Same with the CMH? I am looking to replace the wattage of my 4 1000 watt hps lights to give me the same or even better yields as my current setup. I know CMH produce more heat than LED but it's still manageable in my case compared to the HPS I am currently using.
I was thinking for each 1000w hps, if I went with CMH to use 2 315w CMH per each 1000 watt hps to get things equivalent. But I honestly dont have a clue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am fixing to restart my next flower run within a couple of weeks and want to go ahead and have it purchased and setup.
