I respectfully disagree, from personal experience with this company, not hearsay and conjuncture. I haven't heard one person with experience with this light feel the same way you do. everyone who Tries HGL loves them. period. but hey, to each his own.

Once you have your setup dialed in it's very reasonable to get those numbers. 1.3gpw is reasonable and I've seen setups do more than that. Most people fail to realize is to get numbers like these you have veg your plants longer. A 4 week veg isn't gonna get you those numbers. Longer veg=large yield but you must have the light and space to do it. They have to be trees like he grows or a nice scrog setup

wow. lol, i must have a lot of jobs, because in the nutrient section of this very same forum, apparently I work for Golden tree nutrients..... just because we're potheads doesn't mean we HAVE to be paranoid. you have seen my grow. what do you think? do my ladies look happy to you? if they look happy to you, are you surprised that I would tell people how happy my plants are is crime? well if loving my plants are wrong, I don't want to be right.

Sorry to tell you but kammy McKenzie has made a horrible name for herself and that's the owner/maker of those lights.wow. lol, i must have a lot of jobs, because in the nutrient section of this very same forum, apparently I work for Golden tree nutrients..... just because we're potheads doesn't mean we HAVE to be paranoid. you have seen my grow. what do you think? do my ladies look happy to you? if they look happy to you, are you surprised that I would tell people how happy my plants are is crime? well if loving my plants are wrong, I don't want to right.

not with me, I could careless about what is Rehashed over and over and over (AND im sure your about to segue into it) on the internet. my plants love the light, THE LIGHT IS THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS to people secure in themselves anyway. this is 2014 not 1960. things have changed. my light has outgrown every other lighting technology that I have tried. 600hps, Dormgrow 450, and the pro grow 400. so like I said, grow with what you like, but why hate? live and let live.

Then if its all about the light this is a mid to low tier light that uses average to below average parts.

and this is a fact? how do you know? do you order the parts for them? where do they get their parts from? what type of LEDs do they use? cree? osram? please enlighten us folk with all your knowledge kind sir. ....................sounds like more innuendo and speculation.

Twice a year Hydro Grow executives purchase the best 3W and 5W LEDs from leading LED manufacturers to test and document the achievements made by these companies. Of the companies on the market selling LED Grow Lights built with 5W LEDs, many of the more expensive models are using Osram LEDs. On the most recent test in February 2012, 4 different Osram LEDs were compared against another on the same test equipment used for all Hydro Grow testing. All LEDs were of the highest BIN and the highest quality offered by Osram; however the 3W models outperformed their 5W counterparts by a significant margin. <----copy and paste from their website.

I never said I didn't know, I figured that since you made such a definitive statement you MUST know all about the parts, turns out you didn't know because you had to go to their website and copy and paste. lol... and FYI they don't use Osram LMAO all that what you posted just says that they test them AGAINST companies using osram(most of them). we don't have a problem with each other so i will leave like that. you win, your dick is bigger.
peace.
FYI, one of the most knowledgeable members just posted an efficiency chart (<<link) which shows HydroGrowLED Sol near the bottom of the list. I don't know what LEDs HGL uses. I don't think you do either.
But, it's my belief that all these guys (HGL, Blackdog, GrowBlu, Lush) are just rebranded Chinese imports sold at a premium with a lot of glitzy web-page "come on." I'm sure they grow well. But, I believe a side-by-side with TopLED/LG/MarsHydro (I wish they'd settle on a name) would reveal they're not much improved.And then there's the drama HGL and its owner are renowned for. If the lights laid golden eggs I could understand using them. But, they don't seem like anything special.
I'm not going to heckle you with back/forth posts. I urge others not to either. Just wanted to contribute another data point.
Those are nice buds. However, I see photos like that all the time on TopLED's support thread on 420mag's forum. A fraction of the price.

I can't wait until somebody actually takes this challenge and then you will see....or not, probably come up with another conspiracy theory.....
