It is still garbage. That thing's purpose is for yields nothing more. Quality is a function of experience and genetics. Doesnt matter how efficient it is. LEDs are more efficient than HID and look at how divisive opinions are. Thats something chad would buy lol.
It's easier to replace a bulb than a LED! And since the wheel rotate,the lighting is relatively balanced in the canopy. And no, HPS bulbs are and have always been better in terms of quality/price. Yes led are most effective now but not by a large margin we are talking about 33% for the best vs best.
The wheels have been shown to be nearly useless for cannabis.
The tech was being pushed heavily 20 years ago until they got used in the real world.
Hps have not been better quality and we are proving that everyday with current commercial operations. I grew with HPS/CMH for a very long time and I can confidently say the highest quality product ive ever grown or seen has come from Led, it’s no question. And thats a large margin by the way 33%, huge actually. And it only grows with the CONSTANT diminishing return of hps. Not to mention consistent ballast replacement a minimum of yearly to optimize performance. Youre comparing swapping hps bulbs a minimum of twice a year and a ballast yearly to hope for 33% LESS efficiency. Why even mention its easier and cheaper to replace hps, of course it is, but you have to do it all the time. Leds last forever in comparison, many are warrantied 5 years. How can you even make this comparison?
You are making assumption on different measure when theres a lot of factor involved in the quality.Temperature,light intensity,dli,vpd will all play, did you compared with equivalent measure.... I said hps where better price/quality, or cost-effective. Concerning quality related to spectrum thats a stupid debate. The effiency doesnt play a role at all.
Theres a bit of a language barrier it seems but lets be clear, are you saying for quality AND cost effectiveness that HPS is better? Because if so, theres just heaps of data to prove that wrong.
That was my experience as well.
LOL, waste of time and $$. Hang a HPS in the middle of 4 large trees. Done.
What type of heater are you using? I don't think its possible with a tent without causing a huge fire hazard. Low temp has always caused me difficulties with LED.
walmart screw-in led bulbs.
i grew trees for many years with the plants in a checkerboard pattern on 6 ft centers and a bare hortilux mogul socket 1000 watt hps dropped in between every 4 plants. so each plant was getting 250 watts from each bulb but 1000 watts total from 4 bulbs. except along the walls where i used 600's for efficiency as they were projecting into 1/2 a sphere instead of a whole sphere.
