HID FTW

dont bother with LEDs. they may veg a plant, but they dont do shit for flowering.

MH and HPS FTMFW

the guy at my hydro store was telling me he got like 10 UFOs in (i think they were UFOs) and said 8 of them were returned because they couldnt pull the weight. he said the technology still isnt there for LEDs to flower plants like we want our buds to flower... he said theyre good and they work, just not as good as people think.

until LED grow light systems are setup for strong vegging and flowering, im sticking with the tried and true HPS.

LEDs have the light to veg, but not flower. ive heard it from hydro store owners, friends that have used them, and in retardweed's youtube videos. he says how useless they are. small tiny airy buds...

Can anybody steer me toward a high quality LED light setup?  Price does not matter.  I want something that actually works for all phases of growing.  I realize that LED yields might be less than a HPS, but I can't grow in the summer anyway because of heat buildup.  So, getting 50% as much yield isn't a huge deal to me.





have you considered using flourescents? i would recommend them over LEDs. they produce some heat, but nothing that compares to that of HID lamps.

they can veg but cant flower. thats about all theyre good for.

i was thinking about T5s when i posted. that way you can switch the bulbs out to have the different color temp during flowering.

HID>Fluro>LED IMO at least. im no expert, but this is from what ive seen personally.
