Final tally…?

had a 400 watt hps for flower and 2 125watt cfls for veg before this …leds are by far better… broke my one of my cfls and decided to go all led …figured it was cheaper and easier to just replace the 2 cfls with one led

I’ve been running a 400w & 800w for about 4 years. My first 400w lost half the board in about a year. Second 400w only a couple LED are gone and 800w is running great. Picked up a few 1000w full spectrum for $70 each, about half of what I paid back when then UFOs were just coming out. For the price way better than my old HPS, no heat and I can run so many on a circuit. I think they make em better now than they used to too :blush:

what i find interesting is 15 years ago we all talked about how to get more light on our plants now you can actually give them to much

Totally agree, I would have had to space HPS so close to the plant (without a hood) they would have caught on fire to give them too much light. Now COBs can bleach a plant so easily. LED is changing so fast (my 400 is 7 spectrum, 800 is 10 spectrum with UV, 1000 full spectrum) you can get upgrades every few years rather than new bulbs :slightly_smiling_face:

i really do not know much about the leds or their history … did not grow for 15 years or so and came back to find the LEDs have become affordable and changed things greatly ,the hps bulbs i used to use coasted as much as one of these 1000watt led lights …

Damn girl, a woman after my heart.

My folks made their own also with a crock, oak rounds and weight.
Pickles the same way.
Is it German or regular, don’t like sweet kraut.

My wife won’t eat it, I like Canadian bacon and kraut on a pizza also

The bread is awesomely delicious.
