I read through all 9 pages of peeps bustin' each others balls... Who gives a shit let people do what they do, both work. Ones clearly better quality and no one argues that so chill gawd damn! I have two Chinese LED's that have worked for me and the lack in yield is solemnly because of a lack of experience both work after 2 years and I have pulled 2+ ounces a plant off my 180w with lots of mistakes throughout.. Now I know there are better led's and better growers who can destroy my milestone. But that is not the point, I am happy with my product as well as the price I paid for it and so I'm satisfied.
I am not telling anyone to by Chinese over U.S. But if you cannot afford top of the line like many of us the Chinese knock off will do just fine. There is clearly down right crap on Ebay but, there also some products which aren't half bad either. The last thing I want is to see people putting down each other when we are supposed to be bettering ourselves as a community!
You all sound like some materialistic egotistical assholes and it hurts me to say that... honestly. I grew up wearing Mikey's not Nike's because my family couldn't afford it and I still ran faster than some of those name brand wearing motha-fuckers and my feet are just fine after wearing them we make the best out of what we have. Just cause you don't want to spend the extra loot for the name brand doesn't mean the equipment we get is irrelevant. We just do what we can do and don't need people bashin' our shit. GET OFF YOUR HIGH HORSE IF YOU KNOW YOU ARE RIGHT WHY BOTHER ARGUE AND PUT PEOPLE DOWN. Let our ignorance be bliss then. This isn't even about led's half this thread, its about whose dicks bigger WTF shame.. Sad thing is I spent an hour reading this thread and didn't learn jack shit!
