You have some serious equipment in there! Thinking about switching to led myself.

The monthly bill makes it worth it big time. That flower room you see use to be hps and cost me a little over 1060$ month electric bill. Now it is around 580$. Still trying to get it lower is my goal.

That would be great! I run 5 x 600w hps and trying to figure out how to replace them with leds. Maybe replace 1 tent first and see what happens.. my veg is all led.

That is what I did. I use to have two 5x10 tents two 5x5 and one 4x4. When I started to switch over I did one area at a time for two reasons. First was the budget. Two was to learn how to grow with them. It was a lot different. For starters the room temp needed to be around 78-85 degrees and that was from the plants leaf temp was way lower with led so you have to raise room temp lol that was the crazy part for me with always having to lower with hps. Then the plant growth was a little faster which I found out real quick you have to raise cal/mag about double over hps. Now the one thing I did not expect was in flower. All my plants started the final stretch a lot faster and finished faster which I believe is due to how fast they start flowers. On a average my plants finish a week early with led. Now from all my grows with using both the buds were about the same once you dial in the room but with led the terpenes and trichomes increased big time. I also ran some lab test on a few of my runs and found thc and cbd levels increased a good amount. A train wreck I have been growing since the 90's use to average 16% thc and .8% cbd. With the led runs it averages 21% thc and 1.3% cbd. Also the lemon smell increased big time. There are a lot of good reasons to switch just would help winning the lotto to afford. I just buy a few lights a year myself.

Thanks for the info! Sounds like a plan. I may do the same and buy couple lights at the time. Maybe buy 3 300w actual power cobs to replace 2 600w hps? Dont know about the lightcoverage.

300-400 LED wall watts will replace one 600 hps not two for same amount of weight made. for two 600 hps you would want around 600-800 wall watts of led. Still looking about half the watts. If you are running any fans for the hps lights they will not be needed so that power is also saved. A example I can give. Running two SP-250 would be around 400 wall watts to replace one hps 600+ fan watts if using on light for heat.

 

[CO Finest]

For the mars cob it would take four of them. That would draw around 440 wall watts.

Would it be better to run multiple lower wattage leds or couple higherwattage? In the past i tried old leds and penetration was an issue.

That would be a personal preference. I like to run one or two per 5x5 areas. To me lowering and raising multiple lights tends to be a pain. I have had no problem with penetration with the lights I use.
