im seeing identical growth rates in both tents, difference is the LED puts out 119,000 LUX at 18 inches away where the 1000watt cooled light is twice as far away to get same LUX values and would not be possible without cooled reflectors. week 2 of the LED tent and this medical patient is feeling positive so far.
If that's as close as you can get he HID you probably have too small of a fan. I can get mine under 12" without heat problems.
Glad you're liking your light...

Hey there boss, I noticed an air pump in your pics in the grow space. I'm not sure if your using co2 or not, but typically you want to keep your air pump outside the grow space so your not pumping co2 into your water, you will suffocate them
that same chain was lifting a small block stroked 350 a couple months ago, it does get around. Thanks for the heads up on co2 pump placement. I must say the LED has been a pleasant surprise so far.
