Larry Badgeley Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 I use a 220w Scopex LED from our site sponsor. Dial a Duck. All way from seed to harvest. I start at 50w all the way to 220w for flower. Never a problem. Why are you confused @Grow lady? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herbal Kint Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 I saw @highgrower doing like 250g under 200w led so it sounds good to me,400w hps should give 400g if done spot on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catweazle1 Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 @Grow lady There are some notable differences from HPS that you need to learn to adapt to. That's probably your issue. I've only just started with one, so I'm not the best person to advise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budelaire Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Theyre not made equally. check LEDGROWLIGHTS.co.uk stock out @Ledgrowlights-Adam only stock the reputable stuff... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budelaire Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 (edited) Im using HPS in spain for now as its too cold for LEDS still. I was using 4x the lights power on heating at Lights on. Its now using half total draw on HPS, so for my current situation they dont work out really. 315s LECs are well priced in my situation though.

Larry Badgeley Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 What's the saying: "Buy cheap buy twice" well in GL's position 5. It's not as if our men at DIYLEDUK don't get a good rep on here. Their lights are great. I have used these all winter. 2 80w tube haters and a heat mat. I've just been in the loft to say good night and the temp was 29 degrees c.

Guest Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Not all led's are equal. The maxibright is probably the best out of what you own. How much room would you give to one 600w hps and what would you pull with it? A decent 600w led in a 1.2x1.2 space will pull a kilo+ in the right hands. 600w hps you would do well to get 28zips. They work, they're great, but there's also a lot of shit about. You own some of it. They take a bit of adjustment to your growing style but piss all over hps now.
