General Hydroponics, Botanicare and Gavita.

Just one of many articles on the subject.

I will no longer purchase products from those companies.

Besides, there is a plethora of options available that are less costly.
I thought they were owned by a small offshoot side company of a bigger company that has had business deals with monsanto. Not monsanto themselves.

I still have a full line up of General Hydroponics bag dry nutrients, and some liquid from Botanicare.

I'm looking into other options, such as Roots Organic and Fox Farm now.

There will be a learning curve.

You're giving money (power) to people that are using it to put you in prison.

Look at Colorado, they are hunting small time growers.

Just a heads up.

Monsanto is in the business of "hunting small time growers"???
Got any links?

Those small time growers probably buy a lot of GH products. Why would GH spend money to put their own customers in prison?
It would be a bad business decision.

so is the gavitas hotter than the hps or about the same mate wouldnt it be better if i got the 1000 and ran em on 600 heats not a problem at minute its just the hotter it gets the louder my extractors get dont wanna spend that much if they going to make my space louder than it is now
I know what you mean mate. I have 4 whirlygigs on our garage roof and 4x 8" (2 intake and 2 suctions). With the sound of all of it running along with 4 fan cooled ballasts. On a mousefart quiet night I'm glad we have a "nod and a wink" understanding neighbor

I agree that you will be able to get pounds for 500 bucks in 5 years ... But you won't be getting my weed for that. I don't grow garbage . It would be impossible to turn a profit at that price. So this is where you say yes but if you growing with leds your run cost is lower.. So what your saying is people are going to drop 100k+ for lighting setups ... Where they are going to profit a couple thousand dollars a batch... And it's going to take them 20 years to get there investment back. What you are saying makes sense to you.. But it's not reality . You cannot compare a successful small tent grow and think that it's going to be as successful on a large scale. Growers are getting upwards of 5 pounds per thousand watt lamp. I got 3.25 per light my last run and I am a noob...

Electricity costs are not strictly lighting ..the bigger the room, more fans more dehus more everything your going to need.. Lights are not where the power is being used.. So saving a little on light and compromising your yield..... Per fixture and sqft.. Is a god damn joke. And I know I can argue this til I'm blue in the face with you. But your not a commercial grower .. And if you ever are.. Your opinion on this is going to change.. Or it will be the beginning of one hell of a failure for you. Find me a fixture that you can pull over 3 pounds from 1 fixture.. Out of a 5x5 space . Hps is the ONLY way to go. And double ended is dope and all... But I'm doing just as good under my single ended fixtures . If you don't have 10 foot + roof space I think gavitas do more harm than good .
Time flies!...
