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.

24 or 18 and 6Been running my lights 24 hours a day on my seedlings. Since I am growing autos, should I be at 18 and 6 now? Or should I keep running them 24 for the first couple of weeks to help veg up little before giving rest? This is my 1st time growing autos and 1st indoor grow in 20 yrsWeek 1

That means : 72h of nonstop light. What does it mean? what to do? they seem weak

Can I change my autoflowers light cycle withou reducing their yield significantly?I am having humidity/mold problems and was thinking of changing the cycle so the grow goes off at noon ( currently it goes off at 1am and its winter and gets real cold with 88% humidity).
Even if I stress them, it would be better to not have mold than reducing the yield, right?Other. Mold

Kind LED XL600 series 2 heights?Hey,
I’m running 2x Kind Led xL600 series 2 lights and seen people running much much lower hanging heights than recommended (18inch instead of 30inch) and wondered if anyone has any PPFD or PAR readings at anything lower than 30inch or any reasons why they run them lower.
ThanksSetup. Lighting

Switching from led to hps for flower?Howdy, does anyone switch from a blurple led board for veg, to a hps or similar style light for flower? Why, why not? Is it worth the little extra hassle to buy and install? I like my led just fine, but wondering if there’s more to be gained in flavor, quality & yield. Thanks!Setup. Lighting

Back To 24 Hour Light - Auto FlowersMy autos switched from 24 hour light to 16 about 2 weeks ago to see if it would help make them bloom faster. Can I turn them back onto 24 hours or could that mess things up? I would like the most amount of light time. They should have 2 more weeks left
