HPS is still has decades of proven results. LED's are getting better but the price point for quality is still rather high. CMH is interesting though. Regardless, I'm still using HPS for flower for now. The argument seems to be about heat and power consumption. I don't care about those issues. So for now I'm sticking with my HPS. But other lighting technologies work for growing plants as well. They just cost more money.
LED's are awesome technology, it's just about the quality of the LED. Cheap LED's like the blurple ones just won't provide the same bang for your buck as HID's, CMH, and higher quality LED's like Vero, Cree, Quantum Boards, etc...it sucks because all of these options except for regular HID's are a little bit expensive, but soo worth it in regards to long term growing.
You are so silly. Like cob and board guys never used street lights.

Many of My customers found CMH is bettet. Please read this attachment.
Whatever helps you sleep at night.
Plants grow toward the highest blue content in light. I grew with old Philips Mastercolor CMH and observed this with HPS in the same area. Really liked the quality but the 315w is much better from all I read. Never saw any in person as my state is run by the Baptist Taliban.
My dense and strong Sour Bubble helps me sleep at night or otherwise if I’m not careful.
You must live in the same state as me.
