Lighting Switching from HPS to LED

[spanishgrower]

Hi guys,

Until now all indoors grow i had were using HPS lamps. Now i'm gonna give a shot, and in a few time i'm gonna order two Dutch Passion new led panel CrazyLED

They say the 75watts is equivalent to 250watts, even so i'm counting with 200 watts each.

So the grow will be 400 watts LED for vegetative with support of CFLs and 600 watts with HPS for flowering.
I'll have have 20 plants, harvesting each month 10.

Anyone can help me with review for this LED light? They seem new so i can't find reviews. My retailler say this LED panel is really really good comparing to what we had until now. Even so, each cost 500 euros (around 550 bucks), so i'm not gonna spend 1000 euros without a proper review first.

I've read many many studies about LED, and one from hightimes published in November disencourage the use of LED system as they can't beat HPS.
Even so, i like the idea of cool lights, and of course, the save on electricity bill.

There's a whole sub-forum dedicated to this light https://www.autoflower.org/forums/grownorthern-led.109/ which is also known as a GrowNorthern HS1..........you will find more reviews there than you possibly have time to read.....lol

My experience is that 1 HS1 will grow 1 smallish plant, 2 is need for a medium sized girl, and for the Premier Leaque stuff like DP Ultimate, Euphoria and such, 3-4 is needed if you want to take full advantage of the genetic potential on offer and avoid airy buds.....lol

My bad, should search more before post this. I'm now looking at the forum and reading really interesting grows under this.

But to have an them for veging and 600HPS watts for flower i guess i need something like 5 panels, otherwise 10 plans in there are too much.

I use these and they would probably work great for you .

Those things cost a lot for 75w I doubt it replaces any hps at all but look at amare technologies they have a 150w that will veg a 2x2 easy

And here's their 450w I have for flower it's has the same specs as the sun at noon round the equator

That's ten plants in a 4x4

Mmmm, ten rather small plants.in 10 rather small pots......can you post a link to the science behind the claim that your light has the same specs as the sun at the equator, at sea level and at 2000 m above sea level, thanks !

But they refuse to disclose the data about its light output.
Like buying a racing car with the manufacturer not telling you how fast it goes...

If you can imagine DIY (not very difficult). You get by far the most bang for the buck.
Check growmau5 guides on YT.

I'm getting them for you now plus I keep my plants small so I can fit a lot of them in a 4x4 cause I like variety but this was a test for a breeder and wanted them done with a short veg plus I was in organic mix that was not that great but now I'm back with my coco I have leaves as big as my face

Not tryn to promote These or anything I like the holo diffusers but at the price and the fact that I'll need at least 4 n at 1800$ for a 4x4 it's alil pricey
