BTW, what did you win exactly? You over payed for lights that are now outdated. I am still growing super dank with a $350 light. you are angry, it shows. so what did you win pigeon?

funny how the truth makes people so angry,lol
So what lights do i have and what did i pay? More nonsense from you.

Yeah, I'm looking for something with good overlap so I can cover my space with two units.
Right now I'm running two 600w HPS rigs that cover and penetrate well. 1000w rigs would yield more, but they are less efficient and not worth the trade off. I'm in week 5 and next week I'll hang a bare bulb MH between my HPS rigs (for UVB).
lots of options, dude. Growmau5' new lights look pretty dope but wont be two units, guess you could frame them that way actually?

don't forget to pick up your winning card after your purchase. Everyone who buys an LED turns into a total"winner" after getting one/

I have no idea what you are talking about.
I'm upgrading to get more light with less heat but I'll still run my HID gear during cold months.
In fact, I'm looking forward to seeing the difference first-hand.

Have you ever actually used quality LED grow lights like COB or quantum?

I can't say that i have wasted my money to replace my light that is clearly superior to what is available now or next week.
I have watched the led fanboys make bold claims for years, I have NEVER seen this supposed superior bud on any shelves or being sold as superior bud. They make all kinds of claims that are total BS. DE NEVER had to do that. I just read between the lines.

I don't think it's saying buds more superior. I think they are saying you can be more efficient when it comes to your energy bill for the same results. I could be wrong I just built my led so I'll see if I'll be hanging my hps back up.

they have said for years that the buds are superior and that they could grow more better buds for less wattage along with other unicorn fart promises.

I find it odd that you can be so sure about something you've never tried. :roll:

Hell, I still recommend HPS to people who are strapped for cash. There's a shitload of quality gear on craigslist -- and it's dirt cheap. For $100 you can get a good 600w digital ballast + reflector & still have enough for a brand new bulb!

Ever look for used COB or QB gear on craigslist?
It's not there.
There's some cheap Chinese blurple, but zero used COB or QB.

Hmm... :leaf:

give it time, as soon as the next big thing hits. People have so much money into Led's, they never will get that back on a resale. I ride a harley, I have never rode a honda and don't care to. Just because it get better gas mileage, doesn't make it better.

Hey! Better stop it with your logical assessments. ....... we don't tolerate that type of thinking in here.



Edit... love the driving/ riding vs growing analogies, makes sooooo much sense!:roll:

Oh my. Another HID-moron is loose. Love how these joker's talk shit about things they don't understand. Insecurity is a bitch.

Do you only use incandescent bulbs in your home?
Those fancy CFLs & LED bulbs are just hype after all... :dunce:

we aren't talking about lighting up my breakfast nook, we are growing plants with these lights. Don't start being a dick yet, you have to buy an led light first.
Lights are lights -- you aren't even consistent!

Are you really 52?
Seems a little early to be set in your ways.

Willful ignorance is sad, but I can't feel sorry for you because it's a choice.
