Need advice

Hello fellow green thumbs,

I have been experimenting with aeroponics and the general hydroponics 3 part flora mix and using a 600 watt LED. I am growing girlscout cookies and started with a seed which i germinated Feb 15. I Just switched to the flowering cycle and was wondering if i should consider using my 600 watt HPS or just stick with the 600 watt LED. Please let me know what is best for higher yield and more potent buds!
Here is my journal.

600W of LED should put out more light than a 600 HPS. If it's actual watts on the LED and not a 600W equivalent..
 
The draw on LEDs in less then the equivalent number HID. This means that your 600w HPS will actually put out more light, but it is less efficient. You should go with your HPS for flowering.
