........................their testing is always a plus for this community@FranJan At least the fans aren't blowing toasty air down onto the plants now
Funny thing is that I gave a led company this idea to have rotating/switchable exhaust port openings on active cooling, flip down to have the heat pushed towards the canopy in the winter, flip up and have it go towards the roof of the grow room in the summer.........genius!?...........guess not, never used it,lol

Yes he is a great guy as well. Should be seeing a test from him on my new light before to long.

After I seen the case size and 400watts ? I wouldn't look at it again.
I don't see anything they upgraded (case)? Still looks like they packed them as tight as could and threw glass lens on painted it white and jacked the price up.
IMO they had to rework the case because a lot the black blackdogs were coming back with thermal issues?

LED grow lights one that provides your plants with just what they need. That means providing them with the light that they need the most, in the form of blue and red spectrum lighting. These spectrums provide different light for different growing phases, making it easy to provide the perfect light to make sure that you have the biggest buds, while making sure that during the vegetative state your plants grow log and hearty, or short and bushy, depending on the strain that you are using. You can try this link http://aeongrow.com/ for more info bout using LED.

Wow, that gem is about the same price as a AT600

I know your just playing around, but...It's the nicest cubic zirconia around and she'll never know the difference
An at600 will wipe the floor, walls, and ceiling with the any generation BD for those who may not know somehow already.

GG, I keep eyeballing the AT200's - 4 or 5 over a 5x5 I think would kill it

AT200 are not a good use of money. They are great lights. They are the best light of it's size and coverage. But an AT600 is 4 at200's in one...not "like"...I mean literally.GG, I keep eyeballing the AT200's - 4 or 5 over a 5x5 I think would kill it
4 at200's= $3200 @ $800ea on discount...$4000 msrp.
1 at 600= $2000 on discount....$2400 msrp
You could literally saw the at600 into 4 peices on a table saw and never harm a thing inside...then seal up the cut sides with a piece of sheet or aluminum and you have yourself 4 at200's with no warranties...to me that is worth $1000.
Oh ya...and turn around pushing fans of the at600's to make them pull...that is the only mod needed to take an at600 into 4 at200's.
Hell you could even take the top panel with the electronics remote if you wanted to get fancy.
The at600 is a stretch for most people's budget. So the at200 pricing never sat right with me.

Agree on the AT200 pricing. I could see 1/4 AT600 price + $50-$75 or so for "packaging"
I did email them and they said when serious they would work to get the price as close to the AT600 price as possible for a 4 pack of AT200's
If they adjusted the retail pricing on them I bet they would start flying off the shelf

Yeah, I was just goofing on the fact that he called the Black Dog a gem, so I equated it to cubic zirconia. An AT600 would definitely crush any BD any day of the week.

Thought some of you might like this.
A business in Miami, Florida intends to sell specially designed shipping containers with a controlled environment and LED lighting for agriculture and horticulture. The business was started back in 2011. After 40 years in the horticulture business in the U.S. and abroad, in 2011 Glenn Behrman left his position as landscape project manager for the $4.5 billion Ho Tram Strip project in Vung Tau, Vietnam. He decided to return to the to the U.S. to focus on serving as co-founder and president of GreenTech Agro LLC. The startup GreenTech Agro LLC produces a unique specially-designed shipping container with LED lighting and racks to grow plants, and a computerized system that monitors and controls light water and humidity levels to optimize plant growth.
The modular shipping container called Growtainer™ container (patent pending) is a stackable and mobile vertical agricultural production environment. Behrman specifically modified 20’ or 40’ shipping containers to provide the optimum controlled vertical environment for growing a wide range of agricultural and horticultural products in all climates and environments. According to Behrman, using the Growtainer results in significantly higher yield in a shorter time than all conventional plant growth techniques. He contends that the Growtainer™ container, allows growth of almost anything, almost anywhere.
The Growtainer also serves as a mobile billboard, promoting with highly visible logos and graphics. Occasionally, the Growtainer can serve as a mobile classroom, giving students the opportunity to learn more about plant growth in controlled and sustainable environment. Also, the Growtainer can provide fresh, healthy vegetables to those students. It can serve as a mobile research center, and the controlled environment can be adjusted to simulate different, often difficult, harsh climates and remote environments.
The company has located the fully operational 40-foot Growtainer™ container prototypes at The Texas A & M AgriLife Research Center in Dallas. These units include a utility area that contains all pumps, tanks, and environmental equipment, including the company’s proprietary ebb and flood “HydroCurve” VPD water and nutrition delivery system.
More akin to a spacecraft with environmental controls than a greenhouse, each chamber is a positive pressure environment. The air pressure creates a natural barrier against disease and pests entering the production chambers. The company treats the exterior of each unit a ceramic paint developed by NASA for enhanced climate control. Each Growtainer™ container conforms to many of the APHIS and USDA standards for “Approved Greenhouses” including a pre-entrance and a disinfectant foot wash.
The growth chambers are outfitted with a proprietary, self-contained, stainless steel rack system (the Growrack™ rack system). The Growrack system can hold any number of vertical production and propagation levels. The height requirements of the crop being produced determine the number of levels. Each level of the 6- to 8-foot high Growrack system contains an appropriate number of LED fixtures. The LED fixtures produce custom wavelength combinations to alter the photosynthesis and photomorphogenesis response. Users can adjust the LED lighting for controllable, predictable and more robust growth and higher yields in a shorter period than conventional production methods.
The containers employ the company’s proprietary PC-based sensor and control system, which they call the Growtroller™ control system. Unlike conventional watering that happens at set times or days, the company’s HydroCurve VPD (vapor pressure deficit) system for ebb and flood water distribution tentatively called “HydroCurve” operates 24/7. The Growtroller monitors the environment around the plant based on each plant type’s nutrient distribution, irrigation, size, growth, metabolism needs in real time. Based on these needs the Growtroller controls the Hydrocurve system of water and nutrient distribution.
GreenTech Agro noted on its website, “We have already developed a research collaboration with Texas A & M, and we are in final negotiations with a major international manufacturer of LED lighting for horticulture.”
The company points out that the production opportunities for a Growtainer™ container consist of much more than food. The company’s patent pending system has an open source architecture. The open source architecture gives companies the opportunity to develop and profit from growth recipes they develop using the Growtainer for products such as botanic-based pharmaceuticals, botanicals for flavors and fragrances, clean production vegetables for pediatric and oncology uses, seed sprouting, reforestation, rooting cuttings, and much more.
The website goes on to assert, “We believe that by introducing this system, we will provide a solution to production requirements that we are not even aware of. We’re confident that now that we’ve built it, they will come.”

Hey OHD! Very cool indeed. Thanks for sharing. I think these could be huge if they prove themselves in the real work garden trials of cannabis. But like anything there are multiple roads that can get you to your destination. I like when others take a similar path. To some extent it's validation. I'm harvesting within a week in our Conex garden and I have to say I'm not the least bit disappointed for a first run in these conditions. The systems have performed without any major issues and the plant response has been acceptable. It's just going to keep getting better!
