Interested to know how you get on with the newer white Budmaster leds. I have put my Budmaster panels away until the summer. I'm using D Pappillon 315w cmh/lec + 600w dual spec in winter. Budmaster led for when when it gets too hot in the summer. Cmh/lec is much better than led, so is hps. All the par stats don't mean a thing to me, simply hps grows more bud and grows it faster than led too, throw in a bit of blue or white light and the quality is very similar to led. Having used cmh I would buy a D papillon 315w over any led! Much better value for money! A 600w lamp may only have half as much par as some of the bigger budmaster panels, but it certainly doesn't grow twice as much, in fact yields less than a 600w hid lamp imo. I think the Budmaster 675 panels would out do a 400w hid lamp in a big area, but not out do a 600w hid lamp.
I think for veg Budmaster leds are better than hps! But not in flowering! A metal halide lamp would give led a good run for the money in veg to say the least.
Don't want to be accused of trolling because I'm not a troll. I own 9 leds, 4 of them Budmaster. Simply lec/cmh is the way I'm heading now. I'm no troll, I have a half lb plant on the Budmaster website. I will probably have more on there after the summer too.
