I smoke lots of weed Umbra and I tend to forget stuff !-- That's why I got U to keep me straight !-- I don't know this stuff !-- Did I say I sometimes forget stuff cause I smoke lots of weed ?-- Then sometimes I take too many caps and forget stuff !-- Other times I smoke too much hash and forget stuff ! -- I was gonna say something but I forgot what it was !

Happy Friday to you too dog hope everyone is off to a good start this morning So I'm in a Little bit of a dilemma I'm looking at a few new lights one is 1000 W digital ballast the other one is a 1200 W LED I've seen some videos on the LED and it produces just as good as the thousand watt digital ballast the LEDs are 200 bucks more definitely a hard decision what do you guys think

 

[mrcane]

MH...HPS...YEP that's me.....

 

[Keef]

What up Bud !-- I use these Mars Hydro 300 Reflector Series it's all I know !-- About $225 each !-- middle of the road LEDs !-- I'm sure there are many better lights !-- The way I grow with one box (half sq.yd.) one light
works O.K. for me !-- but I got special conditions --Prohibition --power consumption --and heat !--So I run the Mars Hydros ! -- I couldn't grow in these confined spaces we have to use with any other kind of light ! -- I got 6 of them in a walk in closet !-- My biggest grow area is in a walk in closet about 4 ft. -x- 10 ft !- I can keep my Temps in the 70s ---365 !

I use and have, leds, hps, HOT5'and MH... Unless you get very good LED, they will not cover what a HPS will, in my humble opinion.

I choose to veg under HOT5s. Love them. I know a lady that has good luck with Lush LED... but I do not own them. I have a couple of inferior brands of LED, and use those for side lighting indoor.

 

[Budlight]

Keef those were the ones I was looking at the Mars Hydro there 1000 or 1600 but at the same time I'm on a very very tight budget so I really don't want to make the wrong decision

 

[Budlight]

Thank you rosebud my heart says go with the digital ballast because my brain knows it's full proof but at the same time kind of want to make a transition into this new world of gardening i've seen a few videos with guys running the Mars Hydro LEDs and have amazing production but I guess I'm just one of those people that aren't good with change what to do what to do

Bud LED is measure in PAR values, not the wattage draw or the lumens. Your looking at 400nm-700nm wave length, and the par value tells you how "powerful" the LED's are. Since most people are not very familiar with the unit "moles" the marketing people keep using wattage or lumens to describe the product since that what the consumer is educated about, unfortunately it does not fully tell you what your getting.

Secondly about 1/3 of a LED's light is not visible to humans but is useful to the plant. I'm not sure what units you were comparing. My advice is if your gonna lean towards LED's look at a bunch and also contact the company's your interested and make sure to ask technical questions. Don't turn loose of your money until your absolutely sure what your buying....that's what causes people to have a bad experience with LED.

LED is not the end all solution, it is just one of many ways to deliver quality lighting to our plants. I hope you find the answers your looking for Bud, it sure can get confusing very quickly. Peace

morning folks, happy fry-day. bud look at timber leds. they call it a kit but it is pretty much plug and play. the white leds are kicking the purple's (red/blue) a$$es. chat at yall later.

 

[Keef]

I'm a grower on the fringes !-- I know that !-- I use the same LEDs from fresh cut to harvest !-- I don't do res. changes like other water pharmers !-- I run a whole bloom cycle just topping off !-- veg and the aero cloners in the nursery get changed about every 2 months !-- I use the same nutes from start to finish too with only one change !-- I use Botanacare nutes !-- For each gallon I use --5mil. of Cal/Mag ( only use in RO water)-- 5 mils of Silica blast -- 5 mils of Hydrogaurd -- and 3 mils of either pro bloom or pro grow !-- When I do a res change I also add a scoop of micos !-- I use some EM1 and stuff to fight bugs but that's about it !-- As for light coverage -- One box --one light !-- Moved up or down as nessesary! -- It's all I got !
