    Apologies Snot. I'll follow PetFlora's lead and peace-out of this thread as well.

    I post some reviews, question claims with little supporting evidence, and several people around here act like I took a shit on the pope's hat. Despite what some seem to think, I didn't come here to ignite a flame-war. I came to find the best LED bang for the buck. So what if I "learn the hard...

    Excellent Response! I'm not attempting to make any big claims at all yet. This is 100% speculation. Regarding my statement about top-bin parts though (which I agree should properly have been stated as theory): It just seems like common sense that the difference between a few uMols, or a couple...

    A fellow grower friend just received his Mars II 900 and I can't wait to get up to OC and see it. He's already reported that the light seems solidly built and there are no signs of metal shavings in the unit. To be honest, I wonder about these claims of metal shavings anyways. The member who...

    Got my $100 Apollo LED Grow Light in from Amazon (Awesome 2-day Prime with Sunday Delivery--Yay!). Here's my first-impression review. I'll continue to update on it's efficacy as time goes on. Build: The light is super solidly built. Actually it has 3 fans instead of 1 (it says just 1 fan on the...

    Skepticism is a far cry from misery. I'll remove my "troublesome and abusive" self from this thread. Best of luck to you and your company. Hope you get your Tesla.

    EH, I'd like if you and I could just put this crappy exchange to rest and bring back the positive vibe. I'm glad I bought the XGS and I hope this hempy grow proves its efficacy. The pots are already going crazy under the panel. I like the light, and have stated that clearly several times. I...

    I've worked in retail as we'll, and do sympathize with that scenario. However to lose your cool--publicly--in what amounts to an a51 marketing thread is a bit pompous is all I'm saying. Speaks about his character. Wonder if he got his Tesla yet, hehehe.

    Messin with Hempy! 4-Pot Grow-off w Great White Shark & Area51 XGS-190 LED Grow Light

    Uber hempy already showing feeder roots hitting the resi!! I transplanted the worst looking clone into the uber bucket, and now it's already the best looking one. Maybe I'm on to something! Fingers crossed.

    When you inquire about a product, what right-minded business owner tells a customer to return it and they don't want your business? The soup Nazi?

    Yeah the XGS-190 ships without any kind of proper clip to attach the hangers to. Have to use 4 hangers or devise your own clips. For $525 I was astonished there wasn't one in there.

    Let's see what $100 gets you. It's Amazon, so I can always send it back if it's total shit. I'll throw it on a kill-a-watt and see what it actually draws. If it grows out seeds without too much stretching, then it's worth it. Just bought this one. Should show up Monday. http://amzn.com/B00FGFLCXS

    I'm going to buy one. It's way more LEDs for the money than I'd get with the bulbs. Plus I don't have to dick with building some crazy DIY fixture. It's an experiment and I'm taking only a small risk. I'll make sure to report on it here.

    I'm skeptical about one-size-fits-all solutions.

    I'm contemplating how to approach a small vegging/breeding area for seedlings, small clones, and possibly pollination. I don't want to spend more than $100 on this, so A51 and Hans are out. Gonna build a little ghetto 2'x2'x4' grow box out of Mylar-coated Styrofoam from Home Depot, then just...

    Same ratio through the entire grow?

    I can't seem to edit the OP anymore, so here's a correction. I had mistakenly labeled the nutrients as Advanced Nutrients. It's actually Future Harvest "Holland's Secret" line.

    switching to hempy. K.I.S.S. question

    Can you post your feed chart? It'd be helpful, as I'm interested in ditching all these expensive Holland's Secret bottles in favor of a simpler solution.

    When I tried to email them after ordering my panel, I had the exact same problem. I had used their contact form on the website and got no reply. Only after responding directly to my order confirmation email did I get a response fairly quickly. The XGS-190 is a fine piece of equipment, although...

    Messin with Hempy! 4-Pot Grow-off w Great White Shark & Area51 XGS-190 LED Grow Light

    Quick update. Clones were initially not the greatest cuts, mainly because they were the last 4 Great Whites the guy had. Things also started a little slow because I left the fresh clones in the root-riot plugs overnight thinking they'd be fine, but they ended up drying out a little too much and...
