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.

Lighting cycle for VEG stage. Is 24x7 OK?Hi, Should I use the VEG lights 24x7 from the time I plant my seed until it's ready to bloom, or would something like 18 hours on and 6 hours off make more sense? Is there a "best practice" for veg lighting? It has worked for my first 3 grows. VIPARSPECTRA 600W LED Thanks, Mr.STM

Bad idea?Will a mars hydro TS1000 be too strong for a 60x60x140cm tent? I have been using a TS600 and TS1000 in tandem in a tent 4x too big for the light level, I have been growing strong and tasty buds but with low yields so downsizing my tent size to maximise the light.

Lights Hi guys! What light should I get? The viparspectra xs1000 or the marshydro ts1000? I intend to grow in a 2x2 space. Would the viparspectra be as bright as the marshydro because its more efficient?
