I was not referring to performance, but my ~ 6 yo SPYDR 600 still grows really well. I was referring to the actual execution of their design, which is pretty mediocre
I thought the bml was a little more shitty design but I can understand why you said that.
I just made the jump to QBs but will use my blurples for supplemental lighting depending on the growth period (red and blue on and off switches)
What one did you end up going with and what lights are you coming from. I see purple In your post so my guess is you will fall in love with it and probably buy another in the near future if funds allow. Led really has come a longggggg way. When I got my fluence spyder x plus I was thinking the kind xl 1000 (I think) lights I thought grew well were straight trash and always went back to cmh or hps... not anymore. Led for me. I may buy another 1000 se hps at some point to try a side by side with clones of the same mom and run it against my fluence for the nay sayers crowd. I'd have to buy another though as I donated my 3 1000 watt mh/hps set up to a older man in need along with some old brothers Grimm Rosetta stone packs I had a few of. Was going to sell on ebay but wanted to help him out. Good karma.
Wish you the best with your new QB. Happy growing.
