I thought they were well under $2 a watt?
The XB400 is a monster.
Its like 36x32 or something.
Way bigger then conventional QB's.
I had no idea till just recently that the HLG 550 & RSpec were so small.
I envisioned something bigger like the Elite Proto im about to put to work.
Remote custom drivers, no hotspot.
the buss seamed to be running on autopilot with old tech for a long time.
Thats the past tho, so lets focus on the now so there's less spreading false info around.
Hey man, I don't want to bark at you too bad, but it's a little hypocritical.
The trolls haven't touched the lights like the x3 or anything (and won't), yet have a strong opinion on them.
I hope that the XB line is badass, too. We haven't held one yet or plugged it in, so we really don't have anything to say about it yet. Just my $.02

She'll be covering a 4x4 with 400w instead of 550 or 675. Custom lenses may make this even more doable.
Idk guys, so far its looking like a buyer would get quite a bit for their money Now then in previous models when the buss seamed to be running on autopilot with old tech for a long time. Thats the past tho, so lets focus on the now so there's less spreading false info around.
Good try shill. To bad the hlg550 is 475 watts not 550 and has significantly more output even when dimmed down to 400. Good job pulling up a old Post before the lights your talking about were even available. God your so pathetic now you can't grow for shit I've never seen anyone have as many problems as you and now your a shill for some lights you have never even used because you got some free lights. If you weren't a shill you would at least finish a grow before you dig up old posts to try an sell your crap. What will you say if those lights down flower for shit? Or will you just lie about the results? I really don't think anyone can try anything you say or any of your "side by sides" if you can even call your shit grows a side by side

Thank you. no one has even finished a grow with any of the hgl lights so the fact is hlg blows them out of the water there's tons of proof hlg flowers literally zero proof the hgl flowers. That may change soon when some results come out who knows but the fact is hgl has zero results so saying hgl is better than anything is rediculous. But I'm glad you are doing some hgl grows we can actually see what the lights can do you are clearly a far better grower than hybrid.

A lot of lights can produce results. It's time to stop the arguing and start sharing personal experiences with whatever product an individual chooses to grow with.
Sharing photo's of ones grow in particular is very helpful, especially when critiquing another growers capabilities. Lead by example and demonstrate what you feel a proper grow should look like.
FYI - the HLG 550 R Spec I received is 499W at the wall out of the box. Do you own one?

Hey, im not in anyway prompting. Everyone here knows i wont promote a product unless i e used it & like it. Oerwise i will only talk from experience.
In this case im just stating the facts as the trolls seam to hold onto the past & speak of it as if its the present . Therefore figured a few actual facts might help those whom are thrown off course by rhe trolling. Feelme?

This thread isn't about the new XB line but since @Ryante55 can't seem to get them off his mind how bout a production update from HydroGrow's current trip to china?

"Today I went to view our extrusion factory who also does a lot of machine work. They were by far the busiest of all we have been to. I took a look at our power supply enclosures, which came out very nice. The laser-etched logos look great, and I decided that tomorrow I'm going to have them re-run the end caps with a laser-etched label for the driver specifications. Why not right? I also decided that since our heat plates are being re-made, why not also laser-etch the product sticker I originally planned for the back of it? Why use stickers at all when a laser can make the label a permanent part of the product?"

Ok how well does hgl flower? That's a very important fact for most people. Or would you rather people buy an untested light? Yeah your totally not a shill...

Here are a couple of updates.
I have four of these. I have converted three. Saving the last for a video.
It's funny that the pics come out so pink/purple, but that's not what it looks like at all. If anyone has seen an Amare, the color is similar as far as the eye and photos.

These lights are Mrs. Perm's. She grows veggies and houseplants and stuff. Mainly in the winter, we run a garden in the garage. The lettuce pic is from a hydro thing I made and tested out. It was almost out of water. I pulled all that out anyway and replanted.

Sorry I have been falling behind on the updates. Mrs. Perm's car needed an oil change. I still can't find the oil pan.

Looking good but still not results. when you have dry weight results you will have an idea what the lights can do those could end up looking great but being fluffy and shrinking alot
True. I was just showing it flower thus far.
