Yea way too early, I've flowered with all warm white and know it can produce a big sticky yield so I know the Onyx will produce. The RW is new to me but I've seen other grows here with the older SGS-160 and expect good things from the RW too. The real big question will be how well will they cover a 3'x3' area,I'm hoping the daily rotation will help. You would think the Onyx has a edge on yield because of the extra watts but Jeff seems pretty confident in the RW so will see. I think we should see some hints of whats to come by 3 weeks.I know you have no conclusions at this point, but are leaning towards one light over the other. Just curious. I'm liking the rw 150 and a buddy is really digging the onyx. But he's too far to really swap lights or something.
I agree and know that the good Captain here will bring out the best in both lights.My bet is on the RW. The footprint/unit size is why I question in the onyx, not the components of build.
Hey captain, I just got an Onyx Grow and the fan on the driver is driving me nuts. It didn't seem so bad yesterday, but now it pretty much cycles 15 sec on/20 sec off constantly in a room that is barely 70 degrees. I'm thinking about returning it, since replacing the fan with a quieter one will void the warranty. The light itself seems great, very powerful. I was just wondering if yours does that too? Thanks.
You got yourself an Onyx?Hey captain, I just got an Onyx Grow ...
Is this still happening? I was looking forward to your thread.The 2080-watt CXA 3070 project has been funded, it is definitely going to happen.
Meanwell are some of the best drivers, so I figured they were consistent and yours did the same thing. Indeed it keeps the PS very cool. Mine sounds like a small jet is taking off in the next room. I'll have to pull my endorsement of Onyx for stealth grows because of this. I put the PS in the veg closet about an hour ago, couldn't take it anymore. Aside from the noise I really dig the light so far.Yep mine cycles on a couple times a minute but it keeps the PS very cool. It's not the quietest fan I have but it's not the loudest either so it's not a issue for me. Between my window air conditioner,portable dehumidifier,odor filter fan,fans in the lights and the many circulating fans it's not really noticeable here.
I made an impulse buy on the Onyx because it's summer and I wanted something quick to replace the 8-banger T5 in my veg closet, which doesn't have an exhaust setup. Amazon Prime had the Onyx at my door in roughly 48 hours with free shipping.You got yourself an Onyx?
