i'm sure i could do much better by doing some things differently...if i was doing actual scrogs and vegging the plants in place i could get my gpw up quite a bit...but that would be a hassle since most of the garden runs on power panels and i like to have a space turned over quickly...i can harvest a tent,get it cleaned and reset with fresh plants in like an hour...i constantly need more veg space...now that free cooling season is coming i can open up more space...

Feel free to order from our website directly when you are ready. Discount code"ICMAG" :D

I’ve been running 6000 W HPS in my room traditionally for 20 years plus sometimes up to 10,000 W HPS I’m curious about the heat issue I always deal with in the winter time and how these new LEDs can run cooler? Wondering what kind of investment it would take to refit that amount of high pressure sodium? One of the things I noticed with LEDs is that there’s a lot of hanging wires if the fixtures are very light that would be a plus ....my hoods are extremely light... Easy to manage and maneuver in one of the reasons I continue to use them ....I’m still waiting for one of my peers to conclusively say that the LEDs will blow my HPS out of the water....:chin:

short answer,it would cost a lot to replace them...basically a 4x4 area is going to need about 6-700 bucks worth of leds...but it will cut your electric bill about in half just on lighting,and of course they are much cooler running...that said you're still dealing with the same 3 btu/watt that any lighting makes heat wise...


in your case you could probably do blended lighting replacing enough hps lamps with led to get your heat where you want it...


as far as yield,you can't ask me since i'm a painfully average grower...an led is a tool and you need to use it properly to maximize the potential...

so far the mars tents are a good value for what you get...i've had the 5x5 for a bit over a year and never a snagged zipper...plus i think the vivosun has plastic corners which i don't want no matter what the price...and i also get a good deal from mars...
