Yesterday on 20 October planted seeds 3 Gorilla Glue 3 Girl Scout Coockies and California Snow , Hope to get full potential ,
I will use 600 HPS 2000 LED 600 LED WITH CREE (dont remember how many wats of COB LIGHT INSIDE) and 3 - COB LIGHTS 50 Watt Each and
1 - 100 Watts .
For the 7 plants I think it would be great , I am also experimenting HPS with LED combined ,Hope to get bigger yield
Hello Growers , Good day everyone , I have one question , do you ever used HPS with LED and COB combined ? Cause I want to use this all together and if you have any experience please share with me , I will be appreciated , thanks in advance
If you are asking if you can do it, then of course you can, provided that you can manage all the heat that the 3 systems are going to put out. If you only care for absolute max yield, by all means go ahead, if you care more about yield as in grams per watts, I would ditch the HPS at the very least.
@gorillaz, depends on your LEDs, some have "veg spectrum" and "bloom spectrum", but yeah i would say start them off on LEDs or even CFLs, then slowly introduce more light as the plants need .
hey gorillaz. yes you can combine all sorts of lights to get the right intensity and strength no problem. usually what you want to do is basically complement this or that weakness of one light with another. for example 1000W HPS, but it doesnt reach the the corners or underneath your canopy so decide to also add LED strips to cover what it doesn t cover. So the idea is to maximise your light coverage, maximise your spectrum or increase the intensity of the light. I see you have a lot of different lights, but all of them are top down kinda lights. Mostly growers will mix and match actually and vary top down and other kind of lights like a led strip , or a CFL on the sides of the grow room. This though, really helps. so does adding more light. So you're doing the right thing. hope this helps 🚀
you can do this : first two three weeks, LEDs (equivalent to 250W HPS) then start increasing the power to 400W , then one or two weeks into flower full blast
