THe BEST lighting for bud quality.

[Glynne420]

Im an HID lighting person myself, i didnt do so well with a vipraspectra led and went back to HPS.
Like you Viz, Im really interested in this thread as im going to hopefully get back to growing very soon and want to know what the best lights for economy to weight as my new place is on a prepay meter.

best buds ive ever had imho were probably Blue cheese finished under LED and HPS combo

White LED with HPS dual spec combo gets my vote

I'm loving my invisible sun panels
Been using there for a good year now and wouldn't go back to hps
They grow some delicious flavour bud and nice and dense too
Hope all is good with you viz

Personally I got very frosty from CDM, and LED from invis. Quality not quantity I would say on a par. Quantity you still cant beat HPS DE 400v dual specs imo :)

Only used dual spec hps and invis leds. Now bear in mind ive only done like 4 or 5 grows my experience is this -
Hps gave me more weight of lower qiluality fluffy bud
Led has been giving me less weight but way better weed
The one i did mostly with hps and then led in the last two weeks or so was well somewhere in between. So on that basis i reckon a combo of anything with led alk the way would be best

Actually I am new in this forum, Personally i am using LED grow light in my grow room. I have 3 room where separately use Mars hydro, king plus and bestva light. I am fully satisfy about the out put, I recommend you, if you want highest PAR/LUMEN Value per watts, Bestva led grow light is the perfect. (Just my personal opinion)
for you comfort, I attached some review blog, you can check, I hope these true review will help you to pick the best lighting for bud quality.

Nanook mukka can i just buy a cheap DE fitting and shade that i can stick a DE bulb into, be that a 400 or 600 hps ? Also what bulbs are you using ? Cheers bud.

@Viz i still like dual spec hps myself even the cheapo sunmaster bulbs work a treat for me. That said ive only used Chinese made LED a few or three times, ok they weren`t cheapo things and made with cree cobs but they just didn`t have the umph for that final push for me and tbh i couldn`t tell any difference in quality with either, maybe i was doing summink wrong and yes i`ll prolly use them again come Summer. I do like the idea of mixing those single cree cobs with a hps myself, one down each side of my 400hps, but ive not got that far yet :)

Honestly jimmi I dunno, I got the omega 1000w dimmable gold ones, I did a review somewhere but they were very cheap with the omega dual spec lamp. They did 750, 875, 1000,1125 and 1200w or something settings.

I think you wanna look at 400v for efficiency with HPS DE man.... but this ain't a stats thread so I'll leave it to someone with experience... I think MrMan swapped from 240v to 400v and rates it tho, so may be worth asking him too
