LOL! This LED section is always so entertaining! It's like their are a few gyms (lighting companies) with "fighters" (people who run a company or people who use a particular company's products)...and when they meet up at weigh-ins, there is always a lot of posturing and flexing and huffing and puffing in each others' faces, etc. They tell each other what they are going to do to...who is better, tougher....who is more
efficient! (LOL!)
At this point, as has already been mentioned, it's not even about how well a particular light works or what makes it different....It's ONLY about online personas poking and prodding each other.
So why not take it a step further?...
...The only (halfway) real way to really pit these lights in a real competition, is to create a test grow with absolutely everything being equal (clone, medium, water, nutrient type and schedule, temp, same wattage draw from the wall, same air movement, etc., etc., etc.) . The results would be weighed and tested for various cannabinoids and terpenes, etc. Winner gets bragging rights and gets to officially say "Nyeh, Nyeh, Nyeh, Nyeh, Nyeh, Nyeh!" !
That would end this constant bickering once and for all....
wouldn't it? (no, probably not)
But what would be
really interesting would be to have each company do the same exact test in their own facility and then see which discrepancies (if any) there would be. Have all these companies donate a light of their own to each of the other companies and then have each company run the same, exact test.....I dunno, but
something tells me that, in each case, each company would come up with different results -even though the growing conditions and all parameters would have been agreed upon ahead of time to be exactly the same. In other words, no one would ever want to admit that their light was bested by another...I understand that. But, IF it could be done honestly by all, then there would be one company left standing at the end. Now THAT would be fun!
