Lets get it!

This is my high tech scientific study of HID vs LED.

Only comparing one side of HID vs LED tent, spaces are 4x4 vs 5x5 but the hood covers a 4x4 in HID tent.
HID light output is 600w Hortilux.
LED side is 2x area 51 lighting, 1x blackstar lighting.

Going to run 1 plant under each, cutting is an elite clone of golden goat, will be updating.

I won't be using my turbo boost feature on my ballast because it damages the bulb and they are very expensive so I try to get maximum bulb life and 10% increase isn't worth it to me.

I love side-by-side experiments, thanks for the thread as it should be interesting....subbed!

Odds are, certain idiots will try to shit on your thread because you are not conducting it the way they would it, or if the results are not validating their opinions.

never the less, keep the upper highway...and let us shit on the trolls for you :)

SO if im understanding this correctly the hid is in a 5x5 tent, but you're only going to utilize 4x4? Then the led is in a actual 4x4?

A little disappointed there's no vipar in the mix- jk. I'm subbed, I say the a51/blackstar combo easily takes it.

Such an overused photo, Bicit...

@Yodaweed

I'll be watching over this thread from afar... no need to sub as it's surely to be found on the first page most times.

Can you give us some estimates on how long each lighting fixture has operated or are they all brand new?

The area 51's have only gone through one grow and the blackstar has gone through 5-6 grows, the HID lights are new.

Still vegging , did not forget about this post , plants are just growing under my MH now gonna get them big enough to take up the entire area on both LED and HPS areas. 2-4 more weeks and I will have the plants in flower , will be doing 2 golden goats under each side in 10 gallons of soil.
