Hps vs led

I will follow. Do you have light details? Wattage? Power draw?
I am running LED for Hydro and heat reasons but my vote is on the HPS.

I’m in, should be interesting. What’s the wattage of each.

 

[Bigbudha]

Sorry , should have mentioned that , it’s a 450 viparspectra and a 150 hps sun system , in coco with organic nutes

The 450 probably only draws two something or is that actual watts. The led will have more power draw I believe so I will do out on a limb and say led for the win lol.

I’ve seen some nice buds grown under the viparspectra. I run a mars 1200 (580 actual) for over a year and it done a great job for my first light.

So the 450 viparspectra is rated at 200W draw, probably 10W on the fans. 150 Watt vs 190W should be close

It will be fun to watch. What strains are you running.

These are actually 2 clones I took (CB Dream) from plant I just chopped. Clones same plant same soil, nutes the only difference will be light.

If you had a piece of paneling painted white on both sides, to divide them. two tents would be better. i'm thinking the 150 will kick ass !!
