    Default Just some advice

    Hope you all are keeping safe and enjoying the sun.


    Im starting a new grow but this time being more prepared then last. I had a horrible experience controlling my temp with 2 650w hps in my grow tent and now thinking should I spend a little bit of money and buy myself couple of 1000w Led with veg and bloom button build in.

    I want my crops to grow huge nugs and know hps would be best but the stress wasn't worth it from what I remember.

    So I'm asking is can Led 1000w from a good reputable company keep up with hps from your experience. They cost more to buy but alot cheaper on the electricity and last longer in the long run.

    Led is a good option try the site sponsors they seem the nuts. I use quantum board leds and they do generate heat asell. If you go down that route it will be best to keep the drivers outside the grow Area.
    What's your extraction like?

    .
    As you already own a hps setup and if its just heat that's the problem I'm surprised your not looking into cooltubes or other ventilation options.

    I have to admit I have no experience with led lights for growing but I have a lot of history with 2kw+ grows and I realise the importance of good venting not just for heat but also for Co2 and humidity. If your going to do a 2kw grow in a badly vented area then mould will be your next problem. If venting is not the problem then I don't understand why you have a heat problem??
