    I have use LED'S for 9 years, from the cheap one's to the expense ones like California Light cycles. As for as growing great buds and keeping heat down they are great. But there is nothing like an HPS to grow fat dense heavy buds. The over all price is cheaper with the HPS. As long as you can control your heat, you are much better off with HPS, than the LED'S. After 9 years, I am back to 400W HPS-MH, and loving it. lol

    shoud i put up a grow journal on this do you think? the device only uses 450watts but a 600w hps would not get 450w worth of light to your grow

    The current state of the art, in theory, has LEDs on par (mind the pun) and exceeding HID and at higher efficacy but in practice there is work to be done still.This is simply in terms of engineering and application of the technology Vs the tried and tested high pressure bulb.

    With the terrawatts of power being burned in the US and elsewhere growing commercial weed, innovation will demand that HID is redundant within 5 -10 years. My prediction at least.... a bit like incandescent light bulbs

    If you haven’t already, look into 315w LEC/CMH setups. If there was such thing as a 500w hps then they would be about the same as that. Not quite as good as 1 600w HPS, but Gram Per Watt they’re mega efficient. I’ve got 3 in a 1.2 tent so now at 945w and the heat off all of them is about the same as 1 600hps.
