Ahh, got it and thanks for the clarification Polliceverde18. Yeah I agree with you, LED marketing on whats comparable to 1000W can be misleading. What I look at is the ppf for both and then also consider the color spectrums gained as well. So if we use your example, I believe a 1000w HPS on outputs somewhere around 1850µmol/s depending on the exact manufacturer. If we look at for example the Mars Hydro TS3000, which is stated by Mars as being a good replacement to 1000W, it outputs 1095.6umol, but although its less output, its more efficient with the spread and spectrum. In your case if you are limited to 100W consumption, you would have to lose quite a bit more in umol to run a 100w light. An example would be the Mars Hydro TS 600 which would meet your requirements for 100w but it just wouldn't be sufficient to replace 1000w HID. I am currently running a TS3000 alongside my 600W HPS and its amazing to see the power and heat differences. The TS3000 only pulls about 3 amps compared to my HPS pulling at least 6 amps. I would say the TS 3000 is a great replacement of the 1000w if you are able to accommodate more than 100 watts.

anarchoamon scusami se non sono stato tanto chiaro. Intendevo un un'aumento di luce aggiungendo una led che mi consuma 100w ma ne emane 1000w ( così dice la descrizione ma non ci credo.) Per il periodo della fioritura visto che adesso sta iniziando... grazie mille per l'aiuto !!!

Yes! I took a tour of a legal grow house and they did this exactly! They ran every other light LED with HPS—- even did the same with veg and ceramic metal hallide. Good luck!

If I understand your question correctly, you are asking if you should add an LED in addition to your existing HPS? I would run solely an LED with full spectrum or veg spectrum for this stage of growth. For the quantity of plants I don't think you would need both LED and MH during veg unless you just want to pay for extra electricity and dealing with additional heat. You really don't need HPS spectrum unless you are flowering or that is the only option you have. If you have a HID ballast already which you want to leverage, you could switch from your existing HPS to a metal halide bulb for veg.

I don't see a problem with that, I used to rock LED's with my MH bulb.

How much time could it be until the plant is ripe?Looking at the image of the trichomes (and ignoring the little black lint xD) can someone give me maybe a rough estimate on how long they could still take? Could it be a week, could it be 3 weeks?
I feel a bit unsure because I already see some amber ones too.

I got to harvest in 14 days: in order to have enough time to cure it before leaving home for 2 weeks (safety first: is a period of floods in here, I just can't take the risk). I had a pretty long vegetative stage but I'm gonna finish it at 13 weeks. Am I gonna ruin it it, right?
