looking good as usual dav, is that LR under the 400w on the same flower schedule as the other led plant, or i mean did you switch the light all at the same time??

Hi rkrone. The plants are on separate schedules. April 23 was 12/12 start in LED. HPS LR2 is still on 18/6. However, now tell me what you think of this, there is another three plants(bagseed) in the HPS room. They will need 12/12 shortly. So I was going to switch the room into 12/12. Including the LR2.

why not, then you get some comparable buds around the same time for the 2 light setups

Hi rkrone. In the HPS room is a group of three bagseed plants. They are vegging now with the LR2 on an 18/6 timetable. On May 5 I planned on the timetable going 12/12 for the sake of the bagseed. Oh the LR2 is budding up very well. A lot of sites and hearty looking size.

I think you are seeing the difference between HID and LED. Don't get me wrong, LEDs are great but it takes way too many to compare to an HID. Someone did a comparision awhile back and i can't find the thread but i believe to get enough LED's to equal to the light output of an HID, the money you spent on LED's could have bought you 2-3 HID lights (including all the boards and wiring for LEd's if it's not complete already). Sure LEDs will save power but come on a 400 doesn't even make a dent in my elect bill.
If someone gets bored perhaps you could find out how many LED's it would take to equal the light output of an HID.

I like how you really speak your mind quite clearly Chief. And that you took the trouble to share with us here. Imagine how I feel being the one who bought the LEDs. Slightly disappointed. I'm trying my best to get somewhere with them. I agree about some frequency being lacking, due to weak performance in budding. I believe that is why the company now has a full spectrum model. Need I say more.
P.S. ~ Minor point, about the comment you made on the cost of a 400w - it is a significant portion of my apartments electric bill, being on at least 12 hours every day.(Currently 18 hrs daily) It is more than any other appliance. Small point, Chief. And I meant to say what an articulate gentleman you are. Thank-You for visiting.

those look great davzap, is there a way to translate the LED output into and hid wattage rating. i mean like does your LED equal the output of say a 70w hps or can it not be converted like that??

it's very difficult to equalize wattage from different lamps. it's like you compare an apple to a pear.
but in my calculations, his led setup should be equal to 100-150W of hps, but as i said it is like i'd say 1 kg of apples is equal to 1.5 kg of pears.

i like the softer looking structure of the led buds, they look so delicate and nice, while the hps ones just look like a powerhouse of growing bud
