HPS or LED

MS2845started grow question 4 years ago

Hi I wonder if its worth swap from HPS to LED's. I heard you can get 2g for each watt with leds. When with HPS 0.5 to 1g each watt. And you dont have problems with the heat which im having now I can't lower the temperature I'm on 32/34. Anyone could give me an advice 😊

Salut, Je tourne avec les led de MarsHydro, model TSW2000. Sa ne chauffe vraiment pas beaucoup, fini les problème du a la chaleur. J'ai était obligé de rajouté un chauffage pour l'hiver. Oui il parait que l'on peut obtenir 2g/watts, mais tout dépend de tes connaissances des techniques dans la culture du cannabis. Personnellement je conseil les led, et particulièrement MarsHydro car leur prix sont très concurrentielle

dli 40x40 growbox lamp distance problem hi guys, I have a ts1000 at a distance of 50cm they tell me to lower it to 40cm but the dli would greatly exceed (60 dli photone) the recommended threshold of 40/45. Having a 40x40 growbox, in your opinion, at what distance should I keep the lamp?

When did the flowering start?The LED panel, after switching (Ts600 Mars Hydro), stayed slightly on even during the dark hours. I managed to fix the issue, but I'm not sure how to count the flowering period. The plant had shown some differentiation, a few pistils, and a bit of stretching. What do you think?
