    Default Old timer, new question?

    I have been away for a while, not looked at lighting for about 10yrs, things have moved on I'm sure.. I hope someone can answer my questions..

    If I were to be doing a screen of green, I would normally use 1x 400w or 1x 600w lamps per square meter with hps dual spectrum bulbs. Is this the old way? Is LED viable today? Less heat and use less power? Can I get the same yield with LED (I aim for 12oz plus per plant in waterfarm/buckets)? If so, what LED do I need? Or should I stick to hps?

    Thanks!

    Led's are the way to go now imo. Buy a good quality one, not a Chinese knock off. I would recommend a HLG brand.
    Top parts and great customer service. If you are from the states you can contact them direct. If in U.K. Led grow shop
    carry's them. Heres a link to the sponsor page and you will find what you need.

    Tell them the size of your groom and they can tell you your options.
    Best of luck
