Big things baby!, Are u gonna scrog?
I bet you those timber numbers are from a tent not an open space
I do think all of those are from tents.
Oh ya, 6 plants for a 5x9. Gonna try for tops n mids and eliminate the bottoms
You sure about that? Buddy why open your mouth without evidence to back up such claims? We produce our boards in house right here in the good old USA......More like HLG buys their stuff from China, adds a logo and model name and sells it to gullible westerners for 5 times the price. These big companies are just economic parasites, they are selling you stuff sourced from these very production lines and claiming they are superior. I remember awhile back someone who lived in a place where importing costs a tonne asked for advice from Meiju they told him to buy directly from someone they supplied to and it was HLG
We produce boards in house or Samsung makes them for us in South Korea.Hey mate, just found the write up from GLI and yeah they are still importing from Asia as of 2020. HLG wrote to the guy after his write up and addressed the quality control and customer service issues. Johnson are one of the companies that formed HLG! However the does confirm they are assembled in the US, not manufactured there:
HLG Quantum Board LED Grow Light Review (Is The Hype Real?)
HLG quantum board LED grow lights are much reviewed and discussed on grow forums and held in high esteem. But much of that is manufactured hype. The truth is...growlightinfo.com
"HLG 550 is only lamp that had higher failure rates. This is because of Meanwell driver. We have worked with Meanwell to fix this issue. MW now makes all drivers for us in Taiwan instead of China and is better quality. and we now also use inventronics driver that has much less failure rate than MW."
Most people do not realize the Chinese government subsidizes tech companies 20%. So they sell sometimes 10% below cost of production. Furthermore I buy direct from Samsung and know full well you can not be getting something legit aas it costs use more than what you claimed to pay in parts alone. We also buy direct from MW and Inventronics....... Something doesn't add up. Mind you we also have margins built in for mom and pop shops as well. Maybe you don't care if your local hydro store goes under but I do. Trust me when I tell you buying everything from Amazon is not good for US workers as a whole. Seems you like casting lots of shade.....Yeah I agree with your quality control point, but I think that as long as you are reasonably careful and do your due dilligence, it is much better to go for Ali boards or anything electrical over a western company, if possible. I have seen talk of some people grouping together to order large enough quantities to get branded diodes and offer an alternative to HLG.
HLG would be a great company if they charged a couple hundred more than Ali lights. But they are charging way over that to the point it is just greed. More people would be buying them and they would have constant and repeat business. If I had the cash I would love to visit the factory, order pallets of boards and heatsinks and drivers and get them branded. Sell them for 65% of what HLG does and brand my light the GHL 435
P.S. our Samsung leds come from Vietnam and Osram is made in Malaysia.....We say made in the USA all the time.....
