Should be up and running today. Been waiting to get my RIU License back:) Cant believe it was suspended. Wonder how that happened?o_O
Better to be suspended than revoked I guess.

Glad you're back, Jimmy! It's nice to see so much concern over the new lights, too! :) You know you're doing something right when that happens! :)

I can tell you that my new Vero240 is handling the flower phase great so far! I really like this light!

Pepes are liking the Vero240 5 to 1 and most say its the extra 40watts
Yeah I can understand the desire for the wattage because that struck me, too. I already have an A51 SGS 160 and that is only 155 watts (when both whites and reds are on). I got fair flowering results with it -using it for just a couple plants, but wanted to get a more powerful light to use for flowering on this run. So the extra 85 watts of extra power I am getting from using the Vero240 is definitely an upgrade for me and my space!

The Apache Tech AT200 (200 watts) was another light that I had been considering -mainly because they look like they are built to last forever ….and they are into using lens technology, too….But for whatever reason, they haven't evolved with the COB technology (and they haven't dropped their prices for the lights that are using the same technology that is now several years old, either). I would say that this new Vero240 is like what an Apache Tech light might have been like IF they were to build a COB fixture. That's my guess, anyway!

Great job, Jimmy and Dan!

Damn. Those are eye opening remarks and I am sure Dan will be Happy with that.
Dan was leader all the way and the boat don't float without him.
And his team of Builders are Tops

Yeah, I know..I know…It's a jungle in there! The reason is that I had to veg the plants longer than I would have liked….but, with some rotation of the pots, I think it will be fine.

looks a little dark on the edges. Nice and bright in the center. I recommend turning the light all the way up so we can see what it can really do

I know some of the plants are too close to the light…I'm trying to keep the taller plants at the fringes of the tent corners and then rotate them in order to avoid bleaching them. So far, so good.

It's up all the way and it's blindingly-bright in my little space! - Really close to what my former 400 watt metal halide light was putting out, in my observation.

This light wasn't designed to flower a 40" X 40" space. It was designed to work optimally on a 2 X 3 space. I had to keep the plants in veg too long while I shopped for a light -60 days! -which is much too long for 5, 5-gallon pots in this size space -and especially for a couple of the strains that I have in there. Like I say, I'll just have to move the pots around to make sure that they get as much exposure as possible.

So, yep, I'm asking this new light to do MUCH more than it's designed to do and it's performing like a champ!

Yeah…Looking at the photos compared to "real life"….My IPhone must be compensating for too MUCH light or something. I can tell by the look of the emitters in the photos. I can't even look at them IRL because they are so bright, but the photos don't show that. Jimmy's got better quality photos than mine. :)
