No One wants to comment on @BigZcolorado 's HPS grown bud looking better than his LED grow? @ttystikk? Bueller? Anyone?

Notice how he deleted the post.

i deleted a double post. was the same pics without my comments. Couple pages back same everything as before with more smack talk added, i wanna fit in. Idk im at a disadvantage here, your comparing my best camera taken pic of my Mob Boss i grew for 4yrs straight to a camera phone pic of a strain with a different bud structure i ran only once. I dont know what to say other than its hard to see in the pics. I can say that i will not run hps lighting again.

this is the same exact mob boss plant taken with a phone not looking as frosty. Its perspective. The mango/deathstar i just ran is everybit as frosty and way stinkier i just cant show it without zooming in on the phone. no doubt the mob boss was healthier i had that plant dialed in after like 12 runs and also grew it for 10 weeks not 8 like this cx-9 grow.

I use the exact same press that guy does, bought it at home depot for 27$. My hair straightener had broken so I disassembled it and used it, works AMAZING.

Well, I'm off to buy a dewalt handpress lol. Thanks for the link

 

[BigZcolorado]

You win, found my weakness! sprinkle some crack on me i'm done. See yall over on my post soon with my final results after i make bail for the crack...

. I'm super happy with this CX-9 from Johnson Grow Lights and i spent a bit of money on it. if i wasnt impressed with it id share with no hesitation but the simple truth here is the light just flat out works better than hps both in the grow room and on the meter. I'm completely sold on Cob/Les lighting.

did your expensive camera suddenly break? or did you sell to afford that new light?

 

[Stephenj37826]

so this maximizer isn't on the website yet? Will it meet my needs when it does? I am serious about buying one and reviewing it. i just got a new 315 cmh for veg and am seeing some great results after only a week.

No the maximizer is not on website yet. We are implementing a grow room controller into each unit. I'm excited about the whole setup.

He had to make bail. Lmao

Now your just trying to hard...lol but ill humor you. Did i imply that it was "my" camera? no, my bad it wasn't. Clearly you've never hooked up with a photography chick. They tend to burn down, have nice cameras and are quite happy to snap pics for ya but I gotta warn you, she may want to take some nude roman statue pics of you too. lmfao I can PM you one if your interested...rgnbisuh "dropped blunt, fell out of chair, now hysterically rolling around on floor"

You know what I like about leds over hids ?

You can turn them on and off fast and they don`t break !

Never had that problem with hid lights...what kind of junk do you purchase...go buy 10 mars lights at least one will be broken when you receive , if you buy quality you will receive quality. Stop that.

The cmh I used to run would need 10 minutes to cool down before it would fire again. If the power went out it wouldn't reliably restart on it's own. I would have to manually shut it down and wait to refire.

Yeah mine have a slow start thing going so they don't fry my circuit breaker, wish the LEDs had an option like that. I run my HID lights on 220v so they draw less amps , I think it helps somewhat. When you turn the LEDs on it can be a lot of ampage all at once, just wish they had a slow start option too.

Wouldn't a dimmer be able to work as a glorified slow start?
Putting it at 10% before turning on and then slowly turning it to 100% after you've turned the switches on

Yes, but I don't think all LED drivers can use a dimmer. You'd have to buy one that has that feature.

 

[nevergoodenuf]

Most of are lights can run 120v/240v and 277v. I just switched over to a 4 light master controller for about 2300 watts. Just like HPS everything runs much cooler.
