I don't own or use Amare, but I am basing my posts on my experience with the technology they are using. You guys are backing that up with results. And Yoda still can't grow anything more complicated than tinea pedis.

My preference is still to go DiY with my own spin. I don't care where the parts come from, I use them to provide an outcome or function at the lowest overall cost. Lots of factors go into cost including money, time and most importantly, interest.

If you're trying to replicate Enhanced or even close, many have tried, consensus says it can't be done cheaper DIY. Especially the quality of the build. I do wish you the best though.

Are you purchasing from amaretechnology.com and how are you getting discount codes for his site

Simple e-mail. You'll talk to the owner Victor. Tell him your down w/ RIU, discount done. He'll answer all your questions as well as hook you up. Give him @ least a day to get back to you. He's swamped w/ orders.

That is where you would be wrong. My DiY involves getting low cost parts that includes re-purposing, re-use and opportunistic discounts. Cost isn't a concern for me and it isn't a competition with a commercial product. I know I can do better than what is commercially available simply because I am not constrained by one vendor's offering. Plus I have the skills so why not.

I understand that you are running this as a small business trying to eak out a living but it doesn't mean you have to trash something else and make a generic statement as such. DiY has no constraints, you can DiY as much as you want so referring to them as one group is a bad idea. Maybe qualify it as DiY using CXB3590s at <parameters> to differentiate.

I think you misunderstood me. I make no living recomending the lights I use & prefer. I'm onlyvtryingvto help others.
As far as building a DIY Enhanced light that may rival Amare, all I was saying is it's been discussed many times already as being allot less cost efficient.
You may have special sources & be the DIY man for all I know. If that's the case then more power to you. Just giving you the heads up.
No need to act high n mighty & please don't assume you know jack about me. Thank you n good luck!

Well it is just like saying you can't customize a 'lesser' car to beat a ferrari. You most certainly can at a much lower cost.

And I am not being critical, I am just saying that you can. Is it typical of how DiY is commonly done here? Probably not. Is it for everybody? Once again, probably not. But it is the way I do it and it works well for me.

Consider me neutral in the vendor wars - I mainly benefit from tech advancements and people dumping old products at super cheap prices.

Before nightmare? This is a hobby so definitely not a nightmare. And I have been growing long before amare came along, LEDs are just a different light source.

I am all for the DIY crowded they come up with some really unique innovations. Back in the day I use to build my own PC's. Computer Shopper was the go to catalog back then. I would hit the Computer Trade shows for parts. So I would have a screaming fast PC for about 18 months until the CPU makers (AMD & Intel ) would release there latest next gen CPU's. Can I still go down that road today? Sure can, but in practicality I have no need to do that now. I see the same relationship in DIY lights. if you can maintain your core components and only upgrade the light modules when they release the next improved generation that would be very beneficial.

The only thing is that as beloved plant becomes totally legal. More and more growers will move outdoor's. There will always be a market for the indoor grower especially those who have short growing seasons. As our medicine becomes a legal agricultural crop the price will certainly drop to the point where a whole new "organic" vs commercially grown product model will present itself. It will be where you can stop at your local supermarket and pick up your medicine right off the shelf... It is already getting to that point in some areas. Most "home grown" medicine will be for personal use just like the home brewery's of wine and beer makers of today.

Talk about top dollar though. How about one single plant with proper reflection technique?
Would the se250 do me any good or is it well worth the extra couple hundred to get the se450?
Also are there any quality/affordable led s worth trying?

How big is your space? Se250 is rated for a 3x3 and the se450 is rated for a 4.5x4.5

I have a questione for se450 owners. How loud are the fans?

Top quality usually calls for top price

Space is undefined yet.
But I plan on one or two 2 footers in a small closet.
I can design spec accordingly. I think 3x3 I can do and get 2 good dense ladies.

As long as heat doesn't become an issue, the more light the better. For your space, maybe a solarspec panel would be a better option. But I'll wait for more experienced people to chime in

No one still can find the wattage the cobs. That's funny.

Sorry buddy but that's just advertising. Se450 uses 6 cxb 3070. That's not nearly enough PPFD for a 4x4 let alone 4.5x4.5. I'd love to see a full cycle in a 4x4 of that inefficient light.....that's about the same as marss bullshit

That made me laugh. Adding cfls to "supplement" an amare.
Amare has some of the most powerful premade lights available. With the most enhanced spectrum available.

This clown is continually trying to slander this company, probably because he can't afford a light of his own or thinks he can diy a better light.

If you have the cash, get the se250. I'm sure you will be happy with it. You need about two feet between the light and your canopy, so if you have height restrictions I would also consider other options
