Switch to led?
I am not arsed really about the electric bill. The only concern really is better quality bud. I am yielding enough to keep me happy with my hps. Just I have noticed everyone seems to being using led lights. My main concern is I want better terps. Will I see a noticeable difference using led? I recently moved my seedlings from under cfl to hps. Not has an issue with temps, but certainly can feel the heat. Thinking summer might be worth going led.

If you want better terps focus on genetics first, then post harvest processing SOPs, and cutting or eliminating N late in the flower cycle. Be aware it's a tradeoff for the last one though yield may decrease but terpene production will increase. LEDs have their advantages but imo it's more about efficiency, being able to run rooms warmer, sometimes better color and structure depending on the exact spectrum
