200w CFL vs 140w LED

**ast.enthus** · 17-11-17, 07:01 PM

The LED is a good one....but is the CFL actually going to do a better job - especially for vegging?

Thanks.

While settle for less wen you could have more

250w hps wud do you great with a dual spec bulb so from start to finish

your right about hps but cooling is an issue.....my LED should be able to perform at an actual 300 watts....there are 5w LED's but they just run at 2.12 I found out - might try propping up the power in the future

Nope, he ain't joking!

I would stick a 150w HPS against your LED or CFL & expect to out grow you with ease....

I was thinking of driving the LEDs at closer to the 5W in a Mars but then off course you we need a bigger heatsink and fan.

150W Cree COB Vs 150W HPS ? That's a different kettle of fish

God knows but 2 weeks ago these were fresh rooted cuttings in 2 inch pots they spent 10 days under 200 watts of LED in 1 litre pots and 2 days under the 400 watt HID in 6 litre pots

LED brought them to this

2 days under the HID done this

10 days flip

Great googly moogly...
