Ive ran a few grows MH/HPS and HPS all the way for autos. HPS all the way I’ve noticed is better. To my point, I’m trying by this one with a 600watt LED. usually do 2-4 plants a grow, this will be two. The heat and the noise of the exhaust and ALL the oscillating fans is the reasoning for the LED. Did my homework to an extent. Quality LED for the price but lacks in the red for flowering. It’s good from reviews and videos but I could see not the mass of the bud I was use to with HPS. So, if I started out with led for let’s just say a 12 week grow. And I wanted to supplement in the HPS but go beck to the LED for heat and noise issues, middle of summer also. Would you want to change it out weeks 4-8,8-12,6-10? How long would be worth it for results? Would I just want to finish with HPS? Once up? Appreciate any help.
New Grower How long would the HPS be worth it?

and it's 575 watts, now perfect sun just released a new light called max yield it's a great light and his COB light here are some pictures of the cob and Goliath. I also use FOLUC SOLUTIONS LED they use SAMSUNG S6 TOP BIN diodes like HLG QB LED all of them run great temps mid summer no exhaust hooked up only intake dialed back

Goliath flowers a 4 by 4 but I honestly use it in a 5 by 5 cob same thing, folux solutions are in a 4 by 4

Vivaspectra v600. My LED isn’t up to par with those. But my HPS bulbs and set up are great. I thought I’d just cut down on the plants for better light penetration into the canopy for the LEDs. But I’m still not thinking it’ll get the density I want. Just wondering how long it’ll be with it to run HPS, say it gets to hot and need to go back to LED. I can keep it cool enough in the room with HPS but it’s a bitch and a lot of baby sitting. Oh also I run a RDWC so the HPS was also warming up my Rez to quickly. Another reason.
Perfect sun spectrum has a full spectrum so when your in seedlings 5-7 FOOT AWAY when your in veg 3-4 ft away and flower is 2 ft with last 2 weeks 18" to dense them up on 5 plants with a 3-4 week veg I pulled 370 grams of great quality. Another 20 of leaves and a little bit of popcorn. They aren't cheap but I only use that in a ,5 by 5 room so that's equal to 1000w HPS in coverage. It's all a preference some people prefer lights from timber where it's completely DYI. So my question is what's your budget and space to cover

Adios People. AutoWonders Has Left the Building.
Have you looked into Autocobs for supplemental or by themselves? No noise, less heat, less electrical draw and small and easy to move around and highly efficient. If I recall, the Autocob draws only .49 amps.

See that's what I am talking about I have folux solutions led which are the same as HLG QB LED, but different name and still DYI, I suggest doing some research and finding best option for you
