You bring up a good point, one I didn't really consider myself. Watt for watt, I think LED matches HPS. My LED has an actual draw of somewhere around 150-170? I'm assuming, probably closer to 150-160, so taking that into consideration, I consider them equal in production. I say again, the LEDs have no production problems, it was just my fk-up to expect a 300w yield from a panel that only draws about 150w.
After reading SGA's post and considering it for 10 seconds, considering that the panel only draws about 150w, I did pretty damn well! I was all but hurt because it was about the same yield as my 150 HPS (I expected more), but considering that my '300w' LED is a 150w, the LED concedes NOTHING in terms of yield, IMO. It was an observer error on my part.
If this post looks kinda fkd up, I apologize. Pulling another one of those no sleep weeks. Fk, why is life so stressful? A newspaper approached us to write a story on our business. They publish in multiple counties. I thought I was doing well, but after I got that call, I was thinking 'fk, I'm doin REALLY well.' To the point that we are getting a lot of attention. Basically, to cut a long rant short, I'm am performing at my PEAK, I have never been this successful before, both at school and at work, but I am just so fkn stressed out, I want to quit my job, but don't want to let my boss down because he is a cool guy, always allowed me to work around my schooling, trusted me, believed in me and saw potential in me. It puts me in a shitty position. I just wanna grow, that's it. I want I grow and continue schooling. I was recently given the opportunity to do what I love for a legitimate living, my dream, seriously! But I just don't have time and I don't want to let my boss and everyone at the office down, I'm sure they are already racking-up credit bills, anticipating that this cash train of bonuses will continue for awhile.
This is probably the wrong place to post all this shit, but anyone have advice? I can ALMOST do all 3, ALMOST, just not quite. I don't have the time to be a full time student, work just under full-time and do what i love and grow QUALITY. I have to finish up school by the time I'm 26 because that is when my scholarship will end and then it is onto law school and that usually at least $100,000 (no scholarship) at even the worst schools. I can easily pay for that if I can do my hobby for a living.... I guess I just kinda answered my own question by typing it out.... I need to quit my job?
