I saw you whined to the mods when you got rush in your grow journal lol Pussy. I love America live in Cali and I gave up on HID when I grew my first led with cheap Chinese leds and did better the HPS with less wattage go figure. You can't say that because you've never used led but I have used hps and my last grow I did 20+ lbs under hps but that was 10 1k lights. I'm gonna be flowering on Monday 744watts in a 4x8 tent and I'll post pics lol. I got my new Electricity bill and it was only $170 instead of $300+ and no ac and no loud ass exhaust fans lol.
So you upgraded from 10k hps room to a 4x8 tent with 744 watts? And a 300 dollar electric bill? People aren't going to believe you if you bs them all the time

I don't bs that's the funny shit. I'm right now I've learned how to convert Lux to Lumens. I just need to know if I'm suppose to use .0920 or .09290304 as the multiplier and if I should use m2 of ft2 for the calculation . Can you answer that for me? And like I've corrected many on here like I've gotta correct you. I use to grow for a dispensary that's when I ran 20k+ lights but I quit because the owner was a cheap ass. I'm not a hobby grower and I'm not a rookie to growing and if you think I'm bullshitting, you are wasting your mental energy lol. I don't have time to lie thats why my name is REALSTYLES.

I don't care about the 149dollar tent. I want to see your 20k+ pics. Where you shut down your operation because one shop owner was too cheap. As if there isn't another shop 100 yards down the road
You really have no clue on what I do. I make more money with clones faster than flowering out a room. I have a clone following. I don't need to sell to the Dispensaries. I have friends that have big set ups now curious about the leds but still a little afraid of them but that's gonna change. I'm not afraid of posting pics. Have you ever used leds? If not you can't really say anything REAL talk.

Lol no I don't play with lights. I run a business for those cheap ass dispensaries. I use hid , I don't care about how much electricity im using . Efficiency for me is getting the most pounds per year I can. Saving a few hundred bucks on electricity is for people growing in 4x8 tents

You really don't know.You really don't lol. The 4x8 tent is my testing lab. I've got shit in the mix from Green house to a big led grow that I will be posting here. My lights at 186Watts does 31574 Lumens at 18" from the light do the math.

4x8 tent(744w) and a 4x4 tent(372w)
Ok so the 4x8 is running almost 1000 watts but the plants look short. Small. And like they wont stretch like an hps could provide through early flower. Also theres like four fixtures that probably cost more than a cheap bulb and electronic ballast thatll last for as long as the leds would. Id spend the couple extra bucks on inefficientcy to get better results, and faster results.
