Yeah, posting pictures of lights is one thing. Putting up grow journals and results pictures is another. You've gotta hand it to the people with more comprehensive journals showing us what their lights can do.
That 's RIU s 'job' ,anyway ....
My 'job' is to design & built lights ...
And trust me ,I've seen and constantly seeing ,what the fixture's can actually accomplish ,
with their light .
But ain't my 'obligation' to show it to you ,or anyone else .
More or less ,by now ,plenty have seen what & how COBs have the ability grow ..
And most of times ,in DIY ,fixtures of poor cooling schemes and designs ...
Now imagine ,how COBs operate with better cooling ...
Maybe someone buys a light from me and post a grow journal with it ....
I do not care that much ,to be honest ...
I've alredy a long list of wannabe owners & users of my builts ...
Mainly locals ...
It's like a chain reaction ....
One guy visits one of his friend ,who BTW owns a fixture of me ,
and has a tent full of flowers ..
Next morning my phone rings ,for another order ,for another light .....
And ,what I know ?
At least this ...
My country suffers really ,economically ...
Reaaaallyyyy ...
Indescribable by words , everyday situations ...
Still,for some those 500 Euros ,seem to mean not really much ...
They know ,exactly what they are purchasing and of what is capable of..
That's why they never ask even for the slightest discount ,or play some bargain ...
Never .
They empty their pockets,silently ,without taking their eyes off ,from their new "wonder light" ...
At average ,both CXA3070 or VERO 29 ,when driven @ 2.1 A ,
yield about 1 gpw ...
With different stains ,substrates ,growing methods ,nutes ,available space ,ect ...
(& Without burning / frying any of the plants /bud tops ....@ 2.1 A ..)
Almost 99.99% of times ,close to 1 gpw (usually a tad more , i.e. 1.1 gpw ).
So ...
200grms out of 200 W at plug ,most of times ...
Local growers ,like this idea ,very much ,I should say ...
And they are quite few of them ,with my "on hold " list growing larger ,day by day ..
That's why ,I also do not give off lights ,for tests and grow journals.
I know what my builts can actually do.
My customers also know it .
They are plenty enough ,already ...
What actually ,I'm doing in RIU ,
is showing to the public ,
how to make a light ,like the ones I make and sell.
And a
good grow ,it takes a
good grower above all ,to be done...
A
good LED light is a grower's tool ...
I make those particular 'tools' ,as
good as possible ,for my taste .
If you would like a " ...more comprehensive journal showing us what their lights can do."
,then my threads & pics should be pretty useful to you.
Built a light like that and see with your own eyes ,the results ....
Cause I'm pretty busy making
good lights ,for the 4 to 6 months or so .
If ,from the other hand,you got bored ,seeing pics of metal parts and screws ,
then ,what 's simpler ,than reading another thread and seeing some bud -porn ?
Still,I feel for you ...
I can imagine ,what's 'eating you' ,from inside ...
And ain't good ,whatever that might actually be ...
Cheers,mate .
