HPS 400w Vs MarsHydro TSW2000 cost
tricombo420started grow question 3 years ago
Alguém me sabe dizer o quanto menos uma luz LED gasta comparado a uma HPS ?
Por exemplo, estou usando uma HPS 400w, e subiu 40€ na conta de eletricidade, se usar uma MarsHydro TSW2000, iria fazer grande diferença ? Obrigado

Ignore fake advertising numbers and look at the actual wattage consumed by the light. Your LED light consumes 300 watts (ignore the fake 2'000 number) versus 400 watts for the HPS. So, it consumes 75% as much power, or you can say it uses 25% less electricity.

If I change from HPS to an LED will be a little cheaper bill and more gr for plant ?
Thanks

I'm seriously thinking about getting a TSW2000. Everything I've read upon it, people are getting close to 2g per watt. So it should outperform the 400w considerably.

I believe you should get a similar production to the 400w hps but only consuming 300w.

I think the tsw draws about 300w where a 400w hps draws 400w. So your power consumption would be 3/4. If it cost 40 for your hps it will cost you 30 with the tsw.

Too much light or PH imbalance?I dont know, something strange about the color, the spots on the leaves maybe? suggestions accepted. Maybe I need to add a fan ASAP, or let more air into the tent?

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.Other. General questions

Will the light do until the end? 100wats, but no light dim possibility. Currently growing seedling at 13 dli at 60 cm

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,

Best Light Schedule for Autoflowers?I'm wondering what light schedules my fellow growers like to use with their Autoflowers? I'm debating weather the additional cost of a 20/4 is worth it in terms of growth and increased Bud Quality/Size over a 18/6 schedule. I would love to hear your experiences.Setup. Lighting
