@dbrn32 I’m thinking about doing a mh/hps versus led for my next grow. I don’t have a lot of money but want to do a hands on experiment. I already have as u probably know a 400 watt mh/hps light. I’m only growing two plants at a time. One light per plant. What is a good but affordable led I could buy?

@Hogmaster just curious what’s your preference on lights?

I’ve got a meizhi 450. It’s the only blurple panel I haven’t replaced. Pulls around 190w @ the wall and has given me good results.

I did an experiment with my diy bridgelux 12"x12" panel pulling 104w vs a Growstar 300 w/Cree led pulling 130w. The buds were around the same density, but the light spread on the diy was better. Overall I seemed to get more with the bridgelux panel, with less electricity, than the led.

Which would you prefer to win? I feel loke you need another metric to have an experiment. Like going watt for watt, dollar for dollar, or maybe by a light recommended for same space as 400 watt hps. I’ll have a hard time suggesting you buy a light that I don’t believe in.

I like the watt for watt idea. Because really, that’s what matters. Upfront costs are important, but if you’re in it for the long haul, energy consumption can make or break it.
