LED vs MH/HPS - Which grow room to buy?

[steveboss94]

Hey, just wanting some advice in which grow room to purchase im only going to grow 1-2 plants max only really concerned about light setups .TIA

Out of the 2 I'd personally use the led and CFL for power usage and heat issues. Better idea is to get setup without lights included and buy a decent led. The sponsors of have some good deal. Contact smokesara on this very site for mars hydro lamps. Good results and reasonable prices

Go with the more reliable set up, the one less likely to fail. LED's produce less heat and have less chance of bulb failure/explosion compared to HPS/MH, LED's also require no ballast. A 250W in that tent will not cover the room as well as LED's either since the LED deal comes with 2 panels instead of 1. The LED tent deal look much more appealing to me. Even before any of this though, you need to check the quality of the lighting instruments offered by both deals. Make sure the quality is up to par.

Often these package deal things are super overpriced to take advantage of new growers. I don't grow with led but I know there's a vast difference between the good ones and the cheap ones.

Thanks everyone for the comments.
I think im going to go with the led Package.
I have around that amount of money spare. It should solve any heat issues that could occur in summer it gets 30c upwards allday here. it seems to be the cheapest deal on ebay atleast I will have the setup if i want to upgrade to better leds in future . Cheers everyone
