It looks like the SE-450 is slightly ahead. I did a massive defoliation at around week four of flower which is a little late. It definitely set them back a bit. The lady under the SE-450 had grown up past the light so I bent her over about 1 1/2 ft. We then cleaned up the bottom 1/3 of the plants and opened them up. Here are a couple of close ups..Few less watts. I'm excited to see a hps against the Amare. Pictures are tough to see, what's your take so far?

Yeah, I've come home to some pretty high temps before. Scary stuff. Everything's on the line & to think one lousy timer of fuse could be the differance. I've bumped them n had my lights come on in the middle of lights out. Talk about panic.I started out with CFL's and DWC. Switched to HPS and had a few grows. I went away for a weekend and the timer failed on my ventilation fan. I got home and my plants were totally fried and the temps in the tent was over a 160 degrees F.... Scared the piss out of me. So I started looking at LED. I bought some well known Burple lights and they would veg very nicely and my heat issues disappeared. Yet in flower I never could get dense buds. SOOO I bought two more and that helped some. I was getting ready to purchase a MARS light when I ran into this guy who was talking some real commonsense stuff about white light LED's (Guess who that was?) The rest is history and I have never looked back. AMARE is a fantastic company and you can't beat the customer service! As for the HPS color it is a Eye Hortilux Enhanced Spectrum Bulb... Yes, I am running a thread on another forum. I am running 100 % coco with Cogo's Nutrients. Just turned the UVB on and I was surprised at the trichome production just after a few days. I tend to grow "trees" and Victor suggested not to run with lenses and they lady is doing just fine. Hope you recover quickly from surgery.
Got some Fatties coming in I see! Sweeeeet! Ha! I know the feeling about trimming. On it now. Gotta actually schedule trim week. Trimming 12 hr days w/ 3 people. Usually takes about 10days. I can do 1 plant in 8-12 hours depending on the stain. (You're prolly joking but wouldn't hire strangers) lol!That grows looking great so far man. your running your lights pretty high huh?
The sale is great! I bet they finally caught up on production and while living in pressure you always tend to put yourself back in it for some reason. Sale means things are gonna get extra busy. 860$ for a se-450 is a steal.
Things are rocking in my place. Might put a craigslist add up, trimmers needed- pay u in pot lol. I'm finishing up on a new frame for some 3590's I picked up. Running out of light and couldn't stand using Mars when a few feet away I had the Amare's View attachment 3717487

Looks like I'll be getting my SP-4's sooner then later. Which means I'll finally be kicking this room over for another flower.
This time all Amares, no messing around w/ these comparison games anymore. No need!
Freakin lost allot more $$$ then I thought I might!
Well, we all sure as hell know NOT TO EVER BUY A HYDROPONICS HUT LIGHT. NEVER EVER!!!!! EVER, EVER!!!!
Veg is looking awesome. I'll have pics tom.
How's everyone else doing?
I see you'z w/ some nice growing going on!
The next flower will be 10'x7' I think. But more like 9'x6.5' really.
Planning on using 3, SP-4's, & 2, SE-450's. Maybe some side-lighting too!
Outta be good!

Send an email and be impressed how fast he replies. Lol I was. Rocknratm send him a few actually, ask about the lights, specs, the company anything. See why so many of us love Amare before even seeing one in person. I'm telling you in my 34 years of life I haven't seen anything operate smoother. Not sales pitch smooth just on his shit smooth. He cares and that goes along way.how do you get the sale price>? im intrigued
Hell ya! That's the truth. Can't even believe how HH treated me. They could've just accepted the light back & id be here saying something all together differant. It yields what it yields but some good ideas that may work out for them if they care to perfect it. But NOPE, they literally sell you a light they already know doesn't work for shit & have the ordasity to be cocky about n say their for Professionals mainly. Only commercial clients that grow in warehouses buy their lights. Ya right.Send an email and be impressed how fast he replies. Lol I was.
