Holy Shit!! I totally called this earlier today. Welcome back Prof.
According to Jeff at UVL, once he pulls the trigger 5-7 weeks. I copied him the verbal commitments which is ~ 1/2 what he needs. Hopefully, he sees the benefit of going forward ASAP.
Sort of. In the case with UVL, horticulture hasn't been their focus, but I think I really opened his eyes when I gave him a brief tutorial of our needs. I think any company is looking for ways to keep the bottom line healthy, and WE present a whole new, relatively untapped market
Fear not. Just support the stems above the snap and they will grow fine.Learned a valuable lesson about LST today... Romulan is not as sturdy as GDP, the stem can break accordingly. In other news, got 5 new Romulan's clone-ifying. All the new lighting isn't due until tuesday though. Life is cruel.
288 is certainly going to be a lot easier to obtain than 500. Do we have anyway of knowing what the spectrum of these 660 bulbs will look like?
We're the perfect market too, all but throwing our money at them like this. One question though, I see UVL is based in the US, but do they make their bulbs here?
I'm really glad that people are starting to see the light and are taking the initiative to make this happen for all of us. If I knew some folk in the lighting industry I would have been on this a long time ago. It will be so nice to turn these precious watts into actual super effective growing power! It's not done yet though. No one knows if a 660nm red phosphor bulb will even work. I like the idea of protecting the customer through ebay while keeping their confidential information private. It would be nice to include everyone that has contributed to the birth of the idea in the profits somehow if this 660nm bulb idea gets huge. Prof, have you considered any kind of stock investment type of opportunity yet? This would produce the funds to get things going. I think it's a lot more expensive than people realize, getting a new product going. Lots of testing, re-testing, etc. The "right" formula needs to be unveiled to make a worthy product. If 2 or even 3 companies started to produce these 660nm only bulbs, I see it as a good thing. Competition creates evolution in product and also makes the price go down. Keep up the good work everyone and lets keep this ball rolling! Better yet, let's makes these bulb companies aware of each other ahead of time and maybe we can get UVL or "profs company" to get the ball rolling even faster.
I would see uvl getting the required 288 faster than the prof can get 500
Well I was looking around and the page was saying something like it's a new pro color bulb and it didn't specify if it was discontinued or not the page says out of stock but I'm interested to know if they are discontinued or if they are going to put out more
I posted SPDs for both in that long club T5 thread with links posted here earlier
Not a deciding factor at the outset necessarily; but long term, I'd much rather buy from a place that's creating jobs in my country.
