chucky211 ok guys so i am starting an experiment. i have two cheese XXL from dinafem, i want to see what does better, 1000 HPS or bloombeast led. i am putting them under the different lights today. so, here are the differences in the room so we are completely fair here. my led light is upstairs in a closet flowering 3 plants right now so i will be sticking one of the cheese in with them. the other will be down stairs in my veg room under a 1000w HPS with 6 other autos that i have going down there.
room differences
upstairs: led, 12/12 lighting, sealed room with one of those hanging bags of co2, ac in room temp steady 75
downstairs:
1000w HPS, 18/6 light,
everything else i will keep the same. i will feed them same nutes i think it was going to be terra, i will update if incorrect. ok i will update regularly. checked it is plagron (terra)

chucky211 so its hard to tell but i am going to have to say at this point HPS is either winning or its making her more stretchy because you really can tell from the photos because i kinda trained them before i though about taking a pic, wont do that again, but she was a but taller and i feel like it had a bit more growth on it. i will get a better pic tomorrow when i water again.

chucky211 well been a few days since i posted about these guys, because i ran into problem in flower room. i dont know how i didnt notice before, i have a bad case of russet mites :( i been trying to figure out if there is anything out there this late into flower. thats another thread :) anyways, here they are, they both strated flowering about the same time. from the look above, it looks like let has caught up with hps. guess at this point we ust wait until weight!
if i had to say from what i can tell, it looks like led is loosing the battle. HPS is a lot more stretchy so i dont thats just what i think. guess it will all come down to final weight. topped both today 6/14
@chucky211, LED v hps is a big debate at the moment mate. Led,s gave come a long way (depending on model/maker) but hps has been used for many years (1970,s) so it will take sometime but led are catching up :)
You've done a nice job with the topping and training so this is going to be a fun one to watch :)
Good luck mate and keep the updates coming ;)
All the best

Just going of the pictures she does not look to healthy my friend!
Now that she's been defoliated, LST has been applied let's see what she can do as she enters bloom :)
Thanks for the update mate I'll drop back in on the next ;)
All the best

well to everyone that was interested in this thread, i regret to say i had to go to jail for 2 months with no one to take care of my girls. come home to death :( will be starting new grows soon and will update then. sorry
i have to agree, she doesnt look to great, but, a couple days later, shes is looking healthy again. i am new to all of this so i am not real sure if all the methods used are the best but i guess this is how we learn:)
