It would seam;  Summer: LED  ;  Winter: HID

 

However, you could always purchase a grow room heater (Ebay does em cheap) and just stick to LED.

 

 

LED for the win.

 

  • LED grow lights last six times as long!
  • Eco-friendly LED grow lighting uses no toxic metals.
  • Energy savings range from 50%-70% over HID lights.
  • No cooling necessary; no plant burn and decreased risk of fires.
  • LED directional lighting requires no reflectors.
  • Maximum chlorophyll absorption and flower production.
  • Less frequent watering.
  • Discretion assured — no thermal footprint.

 

Bigger yields, longer life, heat efficiency, easy to use, adjustable spectrum of colours, energy saving...

 

The Verdict....

 

LED

 

I dont really think you understand LED at all.

LED can last from 2 - 5 times longer then HID globes. 

HID are non Toxic also.... CFL are toxic.

TOTALLY WRONG LED ARE NOT 50% - 70%more energy saving then HID. If you compare PAR which is the light plants use not lux or lumens they are very close in power usage.

If you have a Hi par LED that is the same as a HID, they do produce heat. Yes they don't produce as much as HID or CMH but there is still heat. So cooling is still a issue maybe not as much as HID, but also LED bring a new thing to the table.. Heating. If the LED are running cooler... then heating the room is another factor.

Yes LED not have reflectors...

I don't know how you came up with this one. "Maximum chlorophyll absorption and flower production..." Says who? You have you HID, LED, CFL or CMH at the right distance from your plant, so your leaf temps are right. Your plant will take in all the light you give it. 

Less frequent watering ..... that is just made up

If your using good LED then yes you will still have a thermal footprint.

 

The next line is just total bullshit.

 

The Verdict.....

 

You have no IDEA what your talking about. 

 

Looks like your trying to sell LED not have an open conversation about them.

 

This is from migro lights in the Uk. That have a full youtube channel on testing there produce and led vs other HID CFL CMH. AND they even say in ther vids ... LED is only 6 - 14 % better then HID.

All and all.... if you got the money and you need a small grow space .. maybe led are for you .. but 80% of the time there not.

I like gml i get on his live stream every saturday... but hes fucking hopeless sometimes the stoner [emoji23][emoji23] makes so many stupid mistakes , then blames his helper everytime [emoji23][emoji23] i think without the fuck ups he would have had much better results. Definitely expect someone thats growing that amount, calling himself grand master.... to be way more on the ball than he is lol[emoji4] but still i enjoy watching his videos [emoji16]
