Quantum Boards / Too much Yapping no proof

I agree that side-by-sides are too inconsistent to glean any real hard facts from them. One thing that we know for sure is that LED's are way more efficient to run, have a much longer life span, provide a tunable spectrum of light and produce far less heat than HID. Cost is always a factor that I consider. If are you just getting into this hobby and aren't sure if it is even for you, I always suggest starting with a CMH. It gives you a great jumping-off point to see if you want to continue adventures into growing and is a quality enough HID light that even if you do move to LED you can still continue to use the light alongside the LED. At this point I think HippieDudeRon is just stirring the shitpot by continuing to ask for these side-by-sides and doesn't really give a shit either way.

I would like to see a head to head competion style grow:

1. Tent or built room same size length ×width×height

2. Same exact environmental control devices ie. humidifiers/dehumidifiers, a/c, heat, controllers, etc. Run environment to maximize individual grow.

3. Choose your own genetics that are dialed in to your own environment and light.

4. Choose your own light: cob, qb, bars, hps, mh, cmh. Whatever wattage to maximize individual grow.

5. Choose your own nutrients.

6. Final product weighed, lab tested for cannabinoids, terpenes, potency.

7. All utility usage, nutrient usage, equipment costs, etc. recorded and charted for comparison.


8. Blind smoke tests done by all growers and a panel of unbiased smokers.


9. All metrics compared with agreed upon weighting to choose the ultimate champion.

go for it!

And there are dozens of side by side, HPS vs QB grows out there and guess what? HPS loses every time! So troll Quantum boards all you want, those of us smart enough to use them sure as hell won't part with them to run acient street light tech!
Where are the dozens of side by sides showing this?

No one in this thread can answer it. No matter how hard they try to respond.

You are just a troll and Im done with you after this post. Two pages back I made a post about what you probably did wrong in your onbiously uncontrolled test (by obviously not a doctor). I gave you 3 side by sides. Still you keep whining about the side by sides.

You failed with LED after a year, where most of us just hung in there and tried and tested. after starting out with shitty leds 5 years ago.

So here are your side by sides and now shut the fudge up.


- https://news.californialightworks.com/swell-farms-hps-vs-led-case-study/ This one even gives terpene and THC scores 10% more in all. area's suck on that for a while. This was in 2019 wanna bet with old SMD LEDS.

- https://www.growweedeasy.com/lec-vs-led-grow-lights-side-by-side-journal another side by side, 10% overal win

- https://www.canr.msu.edu/floriculture/uploads/files/lighting-efficacy.pdf study of university into LED vs HPS

- file:///C:/Users/Gebruiker/Downloads/agronomy-10-01342%20(2).pdf a scientific case study lighting greenhouses for cucumber production

- https://growlite.com/case-study-derp-farms-varius-led-grow-lights/ casestudy by manufacturer

- https://www.researchgate.net/publication/262927860_Economic_Analysis_of_Greenhouse_Lighting_Light_Emitting_Diodes_vs_High_Intensity_Discharge_Fixtures and yes another scientific study into the efficiency of led over HPS, in 2014, commercial grade LEDs already surpassed HPS.

You sir were doing it wrong and can't handle others do have results, so your only possible explanation is that the world is wrong and lying to you.
Otherwise you'll have to own up to yourself: yes you bought the wrong LEDs, yes you used HPS techniques in a LED grow. and yes you sold your crappy leds and went back to HPS because of failure to accept facts, even when they hit you in the face you just read around it.

How about them buds...

problem with forums is people wont except answers they dont to here and just keep typing dribble to suit there narrative , from what I read the op wants someone to do the work for them and post the info here for them... lazy people thats all it is
 
If you lived anywhere near a greenhouse, , I live in the Glass City. The part of Holland that looks like glass when seen from space. I worked with lighting and greenhouses all my life and I'm telling you: if commecial flower farmers are binning their million dollar HPS setups for a 3 million dollar LED system and our skies that used to be orange at night (from the sodiumlights on the flowers) are now bright purple, one can be damn sure they are not doing this cause MAYBE LED will give them better harvests. Farmers here are known to be stingy mofo's....
