@sixstring2112 , Wow! I'm busy now so can't get into all this crap but I will say this.
This is an Amare insight thread. Those of us using them can & will provide insight to the best of our knowledge from experience.
No ones knocking others choices, just saying we like ours.
Six, a few pgs back you can see the cost comparison of the top selling cob lights. These come in the least expensive whilest being the most expensive to produce. $1.63 a watt. So, I'm not sure about the whole build 2 for the price of one statement. Building's about $1.50 if you know wazup right?
Nobodies saying plain Cobs aren't awesome. I'm just saying I think my Amares are & gave the many reasons why.
Try being fair here & compare manufactured fixtures not DIY. I see your DIY work & your recent contribution to The Mod 420 thread. I'll say it again, mad props, on your bar design & of course your grows.
Thing is, there's absolutely nothing wrong w/ Amare lights or the comp. They are only good in many ways.
If a person wants a pre-made fixture, I'd say they're one of the best, wouldn't you?
My current grow is one of the worst I've had in awhile. But that's nothing to do w/ the lights. I fucked around w/ some Microb Life nutes & messed up, along w/ 88• temps. But you know, haters will jump on that to say it's my lights.
Yeah, the Cloak is impressive compared to anything. But they're not for everyone & not every strain.
I don't lie & do my best to provide info. based on experience & knowledge.
Why you're here dogging Amare is beyond me. Mind filling me in on that?
DIY & Manufactured are 2 different animals. You know that.
Fact is Amare is providing top end components, service, warranty, & results while having some of the highest customer satisfaction stats around.
Plenty of great results can be found on other forums that are not strictly DIY based like this one.
Ok, back to work. Don't hate Six, Appreciate the fact that there is a comp. like Amare satisfying their customers practically 100% of the time. That's no threat to DIY.
N yes, I still do want to do a side by side. W/ the move n everything, newly built room n plants way overdue to flower, I just haven't gotten to it. I will next run against another manufactured cob unit.
Doubt the difference would be a whole lot. Prolly come down to a few oz. n testing. Either way, veg option, service & price is enough for them to be amongst the top of the manufactured fixtures. Do you not agree?
Couldn't give a shit about anything Yoda says, it's just you I'm responding to.
