Well it's all about how much you want to pay for the same output bro. I don't think I'm better I think I'm giving proper information layer out as plainly as possible. Take AC and the lack of efficiency and there's wasted money per month.

All I need is a pre-made COB drone,to fit over my AC/DE hoods (that cost around $250-300)

Growing plants from the biggest industry to the small home grower.
From all I have studied over the last 5 months there is no question in my mind.

Solid video only issue I have is he kinda grew some crappy weed, he even says in it mid shelf quality
I think its due to the lack of spectrum in the lights he used, it made buds but not really good quality ones.

If cobs weren't so damn expensive everyone would already be using them.its the price that sways most people towards hid lighting

I think likely we'll see them be distributed more to major big box outlets and the price come down substantially. Gavitas for ~$250 at home depot...that sorta thing. Generally when a small niche company gets taken over by a bigger broader company the quality doesn't improve but the distribution base gets wider and price comes down. Who knows though it would be nice if they continued advancing their tech in the process. Another problem I see with cobs is all the builders and users are most interested in chasing new tech than improving price points on existing modules. I believe the Cree that came out before the 3590 (CXB 3070?) or Vero 29 can be put together quite cheap and would still work great but everyone wants the new latest and greatest. Now everyone is about to move on from the 3590s and start chasing the Citizen 1825s. Give it a year and 3590s will be dirt cheap but nobody will want them and few will be building them.

Im hopeful gavita will make a 750w de fixture with 4 or 6 high power cobs on the perimeter for some kind of crazy 1250w hybrid fixture.

It's coming down and they are getting better tech as well.
the savings in electric and the longevity are worth it imho.

Upper mid shelf isn't crap that's at least 18%thc content which just means it's standard stuff. The spectrum has already been proven. IR and UV have minimal effects.. But if you insist on having it there are bulbs that specifically put out both.. But I just haven't seen anything that points to that driving quality.Solid video only issue I have is he kinda grew some crappy weed, he even says in it mid shelf quality

18% is almost half the THC I am looking for, i'm trying to hit 30% every run, gotta have the genetics , lights and environment to do that and if you think UV-B light hasn't been proven you need to just go away because you don't know what you are talking about it can be as much as a 10% increase in tric production. IR definitely has a big effect on bud weight and leaf temperature, I feel like I am speaking to someone who doesn't know anything about growing and is just trying to rationalize using lower quality lights to grow lower quality weed.

True that. When you have good quality that's rated for 10,000 Hours at 95% output that's good. But the real good stuff is when you run at 50% you should be running well over 60,000 hours before any degradation.It's coming down and they are getting better tech as well.

What strain is pushing 30%? I have one that will get me 28% and I thought that was high. Like I said mid isn't crap it's just not for you. Some people prefer other things than just the effect. I'm saying that the results might not be as big of a real as you think, like you said light is light it comes down to how good you can grow. I'll just use a rosin press if I want something more.
To me a 10% increase for a 40% increase in needed Ac isn't worth it.
I would like to see pictures of the weed you have grown, any link available? Thanks In Avance.Solid video only issue I have is he kinda grew some crappy weed, he even says in it mid shelf quality

There's a lot of strains that can hit 30% or come very close (high 20%'s ) my golden goat got tested at 32% at the dispensary I bought it from. My tangie cut is actually frostier than my golden goat and I ran gorilla glue 4 last year that definitely was around 30% it was super frosty.
