    LEDs can mimic any other light type if set up properly. The advantage of LEDs is the lower cost to operate and reduced heating in the grow.

      I hear you 100% I tried the led660watpro and I found it kinda burn the same as a 600hps i tried it out at mine gave another 1 to my pal to try and then a next pal.with cali strains say it’s ok but small dense K ow yield UK strains it about the same but more the same on cost and heat around 25c alone .it’s a 8 bar separate maxibright full spec daylight about £800 overall big scale it’s worth it 1 or 2 not so much for me

      To mimic HPS with LED all you need is 3k diodes and a couple space heaters.

    I don’t have a horse in this race, but everytime I hear someone claim HID is better than LED it goes something like this, “I used HID for 20 years straight and then did one cycle with LED without changing anything else and it wasn’t as good”.

    I’m gonna go with the science on this one.
