I'm a newb to this sight, but was a five year veteran of overgrow. So let's see what everyone thinks |
Maybe 3500 watts of low pressure sodium HIDs, but no 700watt LED is going to come CLOSE to 3500 watts of HPS both grown correctly.
3600 watts is 6 600watt HPS. There are myriad grow journals out there showing 600 watt HPS lights yielding near 3lbs in vertical setups. That's the best I have seen. I would eat my hat if you could show me a 700 watt LED that can make 18lbs. Hell, I'd eat my hat if it could do HALF that.
The fact of the matter is that LED is just now starting to equal HPS and in fact HPS tends to have a ptoential yield of about twice what LED does, watt for watt. Long story short, that 700watt LED would be lucky to match what a single 600watt HPS can potentially do.
