Led vs hps

  1. I just want to ask straight up and get a straight up answer wich I can't seem to find online. What are the benefits between of hps and led lights. Wich one is better. I have a cheap setup right now with 100w cfls and I'm wanting to upgrade and don't know which one to go with. Any advice or comments about the lights or my setup would be awesome also don't say anything if you don't know what your talking about🏼 thanks ImageUploadedByGrasscity Forum1446519407.001338.jpg
     
  2. Well you can make a COB light but what's your budget? Oh yeah here's pics of my lights.

    Is this enough proof that I know what I'm talking about?



     
  3. I love my hid. Can't go wrong with the 1000w man.



    the downside to it is the heat they emit. You need to do something about that, otherwise they kick ass.
     
  4. I plan on getting an hid soon this week but I was wondering where or what website should I purchase it from also how many watts it should be I don't plan on growing that many plants at a time maybe 2 and I have a closet to work with
     
  5. Honestly with a space like that you might want to look into the leds, but you can definitely run a 400w without a seperate a.c.. The immediate cost is a lot less, can get a decent setup off amazon bro, a lot of grow shops offer products through them. Also, If you do go with hid, don't try to skimp on ventilation, not only for the plants themselves, but the actual light. I don't know where you live or the conditions or whatever but where I'm from there's no way you could run an hid or an LED light for that matter without ventilating. I feel like that's the number one problem with dialing in your grow, is the temps and ventilation.
     
  6. Platinum LED's p300 has done well for me inside a 2x2 tent, only issue is height but thats my own fault. This is my first grow using led's an I wanted it to be in a confined space where I could shape the plant a bit
