I'm a noob here on 420, but have been growing "old style" with HPS for years. Now I want to switch to LEDs.
Been looking at many LED units, and then looking closely at PAR, PPF, PPFD, and DLI ratings and spectrum charts. Also been looking at LED chip makers like Cree and Bridgelux for quality and efficiency. Lots of numbers swimming in my head.
What do the wise folk here on 420 suggest for a reasonably priced LED unit that can compare to a 1000watt HPS for yield and quality and reliability?
I have taken some interest in the Dwarf Star by Black Diamond. This guy seems genuinely curious, smart, and open with information about his lights. His videos are sometimes way too long, but it seems his intentions are true. Does anyone have experience with this light and company, or any others that have proven to be a good value?
Thank you.
