If they're so awesome, why are you the only one using them? If they were so great, more people would have them and recommend them.

They are rebranded Cidly Apollo lights, which everyone knows are junk. You paid extra to have the "Kind" name on it, and now you have a broken light.
It is awesome. And I already spoke to KIND, it comes with a 3 year warranty. They are going to fix or replace completely free of charge.
And don't try to tell me that Kind uses their own parts. If they have access and resources for "their own parts", why would they use the Cidly Apollo case and not their own?

LOL! Nobody uses them? All my local hydro stores carry them, and the guy I just talked to told me he can't keep the XL1000s on the shelves. Gear of the year award for best LED grow light from High Times...but, nobody uses them? Where do you get that information.

Regardless...just look at my plants! Please, tell me...is there something wrong with them? They look great to me.

Apollo? Really? Because they use a similar case? Please... look at the K5 series and show me what rebranded light that is.

GrowBlu, with the ads everywhere on this site are the ones selling rebranded Apollos.

The light in your pic is a rebranded Apollo. End of story. Go spam your company somewhere else.

Kind, Growblu, HTG all sell Cidly Apollos. They're not "similar", they're identical, just with different spectrums and different paint, but with the same exact LEDs. And Kind has their logo cut into the side. Ooh, a logo...:roll:




And no, I don't want to look at your plants. You're trying to sell Cidly Apollos at a huge markup, I do not trust you. No one should.

There's also the possibility that there are undercover companies here posing as "happy customers".
Wow...you guys are so welcoming on these forums. It's not possible for a company to have happy customers? LOOK AT MY PLANTS! Why wouldn't I be happy? I got my whole setup from SuperCloset. They carry Kind, and I had seen them in my local hydro stores, who referred me to SC. So I picked up a system and I get on the forums to share, and all I get is shit? Why?

Typical reasoning of the greedy leading the blind. HT, lol.any title or fact you want is up for sale.

Your local hydro store...oh ya theres a source for unbiased expertise.
more like grovelling, commission paid, HS drop outs that will parrot any nonsense to make a sale.

Because you're kind of an ass and you're trying to pass off some Chinese junk as a good product.

Yeah, hydro stores are the ones to trust. They have nothing to gain by telling you what to buy. Nope.

Ooh, look at my plants, I'm so cool, ooh, look at me, I have a broken grow light, but it's so awesome, my hydro store says it's #1, blah, blah, blah... Boo-fucking-hoo.

A reality check?! My plants are happy and I'm getting great results...that's what is worth it's weight in bud. I am getting shit. I say I'm happy with my light, and I show results as to why. My whole system has already paid for itself...I couldn't be happier. But you guys are trying to tell me I shouldn't be somehow, I made a mistake? That just doesn't make any sense. You grow your way, I'll grow mine.

I don't care about YOUR plants.

You voted in your own poll. How fucking lame is that? You're trying to hype junk, thus, you and your plants have zero credibility. Regardless of who owns Kind.

And Kind only got 2 votes. One from you, and one from your "puppet" account probably. Nice try.
My company? I wish! I didn't even get the lights from Kind...you don't care about plants on a growing forum...right.
Not just possible,happens fairly often.
I am pretty sure it is happening right here right now, in this thread.

Sorry if you feel picked on but these lights are not the best quality and yours being broken already is no coincidence. Some members here are a little rough around the edges on how they go about criticizing products but that doesn't make them wrong. It's not that these lights won't grow weed but that they're over priced for the quality and prone to failure. If people know all the real pros and cons of a light and still buy it that's fine but they need to know the truth. If you look at High Times you'll notice that many of their sponsors win their awards,I wouldn't call that a non biased situation.

There's better options for less money. I can grow with incandescent bulbs, I can grow with T12s, CFLs, crappy LEDs or good LEDs, HPS, MH, Mercury Vapor, or the Sun. Just because one type of light can grow a plant, doesn't make it the best, or even worthwhile for that matter.

Any type of light will grow, if you have enough of it.

Have fun with your way overpriced, way outdated, way lower than today's standard efficiency, "awesome" grow light, which is broken by the way.
