Hi everyone, I recently started a grow with two plants inside my bedroom closet and have been using CFL's but I want to get some better equipment and am stuck choosing between this 250W HPS/MH Grow light kit: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/New-Hydroponic-250W-HPS-MH-Magnetic-Ballast-Aluminum-Reflector-Grow-Light-Kit-/131343919785?pt=AU_Seed_Starting_Hydroponics&hash=item1e94b52aa9 and this 300W Marshydro LED: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/MarsHydr..._Starting_Hydroponics&hash=item4178f8bba8 I want to know which one would be better in terms of producing a bigger yield/quality. Ventilation consists of a fan and aircon at the moment, would this be enough to keep the heat from the HPS/MH away? Any other advice will be appreciated.
Id go with hps/mh. Its known and proven. If you dont get a satisfactory yield it wont be because of a lack of lighting. tldr; hps/mh, get light now worry about heat later Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
I've no problems getting good yields from autoflowers utilizing Calif Light Works SolarFlare led lights.
I'm currently growing 1 plant under a 250w hps but am looking into LEDs. I have a 230w (600w equivalent) LED from galaxy hydro on the way and am going to test the comparison. Do you think its not worth trying? I know I cant get a 400w hps in my grow box so LEDs are my only option on getting more light in there. Its really hard to get feedback on if this switch is going to work for me or not. If I end up switching ill make it into a grow journal with pics comparing both grows (same strain under LED vs hps).
