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)
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

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:)
