Some good info in that. Some absolute bollocks too.

I was thinking the same. Care to elaborate? I was sort of hopping the guys with real tech knowledge would point out the inaccurate or questionable parts.... don't want to learn bs!

Its not thats the data is inaccurate, its just how its being presented. A lot of what hes saying has substance but the way he forces it down the throat, no lube, just take that fucking info and force it right down there. I don't like that way of presenting data.

Hes obviously working, or paid by california lightworks so what he has to say, is biased. His agenda becomes clear when he dismisses "full spectrum" to favour "blurple". He talks about green/orange light like its not needed. HPS growers have been using their orange/green lights for many decades with great success.

The part where he talks about spectrum shifting and loss of output with HID lighting is interesting, ill be testing that myself.

I watched a few minutes of that video and it's biased so I can't be bothered watching the rest. CMH is better than most LED products on the market.

"better" is quite vague. Yes cmh will outperform 80% of the lights on the market and to buy a light at the same price per PPF, isnt going to be easy. But DIY kits will outperform cmh in both quality and yield and are often cheaper on a pricer per PPF bases.

DIY is one of the best ways to use LED's, they just need to be simple as they are often to complex for most guys that just want to buy a light

I agree with certain forms, like cobs and strips. But look at the success of the quantum boards, the simplicity of them is part key to the success.

Even quantum boards are too complex for alot of people. Most people actually just prefer to buy a light, hang it up and plug it in. Unfortunately these are the same guys that get screwed over by marketing and buy something like a blackdog led
