Like everyone else said
HPS is expensive to run but superior to LED.
I would go with the Mars Hydro just for the savings on electricity.

Hps is far superior to the LED. However you can use both lights in a grow and you will yield alot.

You will most likely get more dense buds with the hps but it's going cost more in electricity and give of more heat. Nowadays I stay away from hps cos my setup is to small and getting rid of the heat is a problem for me.

A 600 HPS will eat LED lights for breakfast.
As long as you are able to control the heat and don't mind the extra running costs of the HPS, I would definitely pick the 600 HPS over the LED.
Cheers, Organoman.

Led on 18/6 grow/flower photoperiodI have the idea to put a led in my second tent for pre growing photoperiod girls, I have some room left over for some autoflowers who also grow & flower on 18/6 light - leds can switch between grow/flower.
If I switch the led to flower will that be OK for my photoperiod girls?Setup. Lighting

LED LightsAnyone used the Phlizon Cree COB 2000w lights?
I’m running two in a 8’x4’ under a scrog net. 5 weeks into veg but nowhere near where they should be. Used only the COBs in veg as some suggested but had to put on full blast today and hope for some speedy growth before I flower them

Currently my lights are on a 18/6 schedule, from 6am, until 12am.
I want to change their light cycle to start at 4pm and turn off at 10am, so the heat of the light balances the chill of the night.
Whats the best way to do this, without triggering flowering, or stressing them.

LED's wont shut completely offLights seem to go on a "standby mode" instead of being all the way shut when timers switch them off. Should I buy some other timers? These were brand new, cheap ones though and both the same. Lights are HLG 600 RSPEC and both did this.

Low budget lightI don't know if this is the right light. I'm gonna leave it for a week but if I don't see any kind of growth I'm gonna replace it with some good light.
But since it's a wooden box I don't want to put a big light, maybe some stripe or bars, any low-budget suggestion is appreciatedWeek 2
