How much are you investing? LEDs cost alot more than HPS or MH (both HIDs). HIDs give out alot of heat, ALOT. But when used correctly, they give alot of dope too. COB led in full spectrum is probably the best way to go if price isnt an issue.
Check out my diary growdiaries.com/diaries/62572-royal-queen-seeds-green-gelato-grow-journal-by-ganjalab
you can see both in action, leds and hps.
Btw, check out LEC, light emitting cheramic too. Ive heard good things.

TBH it is more preference than anything. Just make sure its full spectrum and you'll be good to go.

Light: much Power less hoursHi everyone,
I'd want to decrease the hours of light to give the plants the impression that winter is coming, but I'd want to add a led to increase the power of the light. Can I apply both this ideas?
Thank for your attentionWeek 6

Veg or Bloom mode for Autoflower?Hiya Folks 😊
As I'm growing an autoflower should I be using the bloom setting on my LED light instead of veg setting?
It's only a 200w system and I'm growing in a 3'x3'x6' tent.
My plant has just done 28 days from seed!!
Cheers 😉Week 5

Seeds in 12/12Does keeping seedlings just the first week under a 12/12 light cycle can hurt them? I have some seeds that are not sprouting after 7 days, maybe it's because the outside temperature is too low so I decided to keep them in my growbox with my other flowering plants until they startSetup.

Idiot - new light, wrong sized grow tentSo I’m an idiot. All this time I thought I had and 80/80cm grow tent, when it turns out it’s actually 60/60, and I of course just ordered the SF2000 light, which is almost 65cms on one side. Should I just order a new tent right away to make it fit? Or could it be squeezed in? 😭Setup. Lighting
