led vs hps

I kiss my wallet all the time. I have excellent coversations with my banker and financial advisors. I'd say my money and my mouth are on the same page.
 
hps 12-12 from seed............

We all have some children we're ashamed of...no hard feelings about the silly back and forth banter. I just chopped my latest..will try to upload some nug shots later today...not to compare against yours but to show some quality led nugs.
 
I haven't tried either but basically theres a few key advantages/disadvantages

LED: Needs more area, footprintwise. However vertically it can be slimmer.
HPS: Gives off more heat. If you go with a pro grow LED light box, it should have a fan built in though.
LED: Will end up more expensive to setup but be cheaper on your electric bill in the long run.
LED: Will be safer and last longer.
LED: Shouldn't change color over time as HPS can.

IMO LED is the way to go, and there are some good looking units online. It's expensive but the footprint makes it really practical in some setups. You probably wouldn't need much else besides that for the given area.

HPS takes up space and its hot. It's strong but IMO can't cover the same area as equally as an LED array.

And I've never tried it, but this one looks bad-ass: GrowStealth.

Im just guessing because ive never used those lights you mentioned, but it may have been the lights you chose and not the fault of leds in general. Not all leds are created equal. Gotta spend money to make money.

I had one of the 3 watt blackstars 240 watt its one of the best from what the mindless youtubers say.
I have a hard time talking to someone that has no clue of what I'm talking about , buy some pay the money 1200 bucks and see the shit resolts for yourself then lets talk.
 
Im talking to you now. I have purchased over a thousand dollars worth of leds, and made my money back on the first harvest. I have not experienced any shit results. You have most likely because you bought shitty lights and/or didn't adjust your growing techniques.

The way I see it is you don't like LEDs because you had a bad experience with poor quality lights and probably had high hopes for them; however, don't get all butthurt because I told you your lights aren't good which I assumed you'd agree with given your previous statements on LEDs and your experience. I'll stop talking to you now, but not because you told me to "STFU" but because I don't like your attitude. Happy growing man, try not to be so rude to people next time.
