Panel (NextLight Mega) vs higher power COB

[Yodaweed]

Is that supposed to be an impressive grow??? You're missing any kind of plants.
So that is you answer to all those questions about performance of a light that has allegedly been around for 1 year+??? That is what you have another untested light??? An incomplete greenhouse that you will be adding supplemental light too??

Speaking of digging those holes...
You charged them $450+ per light(in bulk too I might add... customers talk) for these...

Don't try bro, they aren't worth your time, they use untested old tech and try to hype it up, if you say something about it them and their goon squad will rage and troll you. They still haven't posted test results of those quantum boards from more than 12 inches away, still have no certs, they just trying to make money off noobs, and over charge the shit out of them. Those "commerical greenhouse" lights are a HUGE joke, better have those fuckers right on the plants, perfect for blocking out the sun. From what i seen , their lights are mostly for small hobby micro growers and dumb asses that don't know better.

I mean just look at that shitty weed he posted in response to your comment, what a joke, if i grew that i'd just quit growing.

You didn't look at the close up..... That's not shitty weed just a phone camera. Old tech lmao here you go again with baseless assumptions... Have you held one or seen one in person? No so until you have real experience you would be better served to be quite.

That looks terrible, it's like dead schwag looking.

I did say it's grown in Colorado didn't I ? I think the ultra low humidity has a negative affect on peoples grows. I was there 5 days and I thought I was gonna shrivel up and die.

How can you have "untested old tech"????? LOL

Bro i live in Colorado, you just don't know how to grow. It's called boveta packs. What a joke , thanks for the laughs , you could be a comedian. Check out my Instagram if you want to see what properly grown Colorado buds look like.

And please stop giving Colorado Growers a bad name not all of us grow schwag but it seems this state has gotten a bad rep for low quality buds due to people like yourself.

Dude I am not from CO and while I have seen decent stuff here and there in the state I have seen some pretty bad garbage sold as well. You know as well as I do genetics plays the biggest role in quality. I don't even know what strain that is so stop trying to beat me up. Well there are grow journals going now so when they are done if they suck I will take your ridicule like a man..... Until then though how about you save judgement until the verdict is in ??????

Not trying to beat you up, just trying to show you that you have a shitload of room for improvement before you can even CONSIDER lighting to be so important in your grow, and honestly 90% of what i have seen in this section for grows is pathetic, that guy puff is one of the very few growers on this section i think grows good weed, you are not a good grower, and genetics don't make your plant look like shit like that, that's from shitty growing. As much as we don't get along greengene's is another person that knows how to grow shit so i respect his skills, you on the other hand have NEVER shown anything remotely impressive when it comes to buds.

Also i'd like to say please stop Repping CO GROWN buds, because you are giving us CO growers a bad rep for growing schwag.

Furthermore stop giving people advice when you don't know how to grow weed. It just is a bad look.

Finally, you are on a weed growing forum, repping someone elses weed, i am pretty sure the rest of us are all about growing our own and not showing pictures of someone elses work, I think you should just go away until you can provide your own meds.

I'm in TN and am not at liberty to show off any "grows". So I have to show what others do instead..... Sorry but this is the LED section not grow journals or anything else....

There's a couple sayings on these forums , here's one of them

"pics or it didn't happen"

Sounds like you don't grow to be honest. Why are you on these forums? Oh yea to peddle your junk wares to unsuspecting noobs.

Like many others I give up on you. If your "meds" are half as good as you let on they sure don't fix your personality flaws now do they.....

Don't bother replying ....... I wont see it

Sweet, one less dumb ass i got to deal with. It's not like you had anything to share just dumb ass claims with no actual real world data to back up anything, you don't even grow pot you just try to make money off people that do, what a shitty human.

Every thread I stumble upon these days devolves into a massive shit storm. Y'all are some uptight, hateful motherfuckers. Finding any kind of useful information on this site has become nearly impossible... and yet I keep coming back. Guess that makes me the crazy one.

It gets a lil raucous in here, for sure, lol

What are you looking for?

I mostly like staying "in the know" with technology... I'm an IT guy so it's part of my nature. So I'm usually drawn to comparative threads like these where I might find info or data to use later on down the road in my own grow space. I was being a little dramatic, but man, it seems to have gotten worse over the last year or so. Or maybe it's just these LED threads that bring it out more?

There's a ton of people on the LED section here that don't even grow weed or just started growing within the last year or two, and when someone chimes in they usually get drown out by noobs/non - growers . There's also a ton of name calling and mud throwing here .Try the indoor section, way more educated people with actual grows and not all hypothetical shit. Good luck.

A little of all the above.

I'm running several different types of LED and making comparisons between them. I've long since left the world of HID behind, for greener pastures of better spectrum, more efficiency and better light distribution.

 

[SaltyNuts]

The open-source DIY tone of these LED threads has been sullied a bit. You guys who now own companies building lights, dudes, who are now advertisers here, it doesn't look good when you start throwing shit at each other. That's not professional. I don't think you are marketing well by doing that.

Besides if you run the numbers it's apparent that MOST (not all) people might as well just buy CMH 315 or DE HPS 6/750 Flex complete fixtures. That is your real competition, not each-other. Since you are small-scale builders, with many of you still involved somehow in DIY - and lots of tech in common - you would be better off by continuing the open-source spirit and contrasting data with each-other, here on these forums. That's what lent you credibility in the first place. As builders and advertisers you should compete on the level playing field of who offers better build-quality, warranty, service, customization, parts binning, etc.

I'm not saying it's easy, but am I wrong?

It's the same shit when somebody asks for decent LED bulbs in a microgrow.
He'll be bombarbed by expensive/overkill COB panels.

And CMH/DE HPS are indeed great options, and I try to recommend them when somebody is growing in something more than 2x2.
But often people just want led because "muh efficiency" while you can just get more yield by buying a 2nd DE HPS fixture.
And since weed is high value, electricity costs aren't a big factor. (if you're selling it/bigger area) And if you're growing in more than 2x2 it's not just for personal consumption unless you're a hardcore addict.

In stealth grows electricity costs is the main factor.
