LED vs HPS/MH H.I.Ds

I just keep hearing how inexpensive led is to run vs hps/mh

Hps and mh still beat all cheap leds thers is several you tube videos proving that along with the hlg quantum board being number 1 or number 2 as best grow light i think kings led beat it by 2 tenths of a par but not worth the money compared to the quantum board. I got my lights new off Craigslist for 150 dollars for 3 vivosun 600w mh and hps with a fan and filter. And works great for me

After cure how much is 20oz wet trim bud?

I see you harvested on plant of four at 650+grams wet? That’s a lot of bud. I wonder if you ca n accomplish those yields with less watts at the wall

Around 6oz or 7oz after a 2 1/2 month cure

20oz wet to 7oz cured, about a third…
What rh and temp do you cure in?

Nice!!! But this what I got setup…want to keep small…600 hps may be too much…

Yes i just divide by 4 so 20oz lowest is 5oz but say you got rocks for buds then it will be more than 5oz cured weight

Meh, probably not putting much wattage through the LEDs themselves. But no worries itll grow pot
