Yup I just hope cutter gets their chips in soon

It might only be the 280nm and 310nm chips, they might, and very likely, have a good in house stock of the more common chips

It might sound like i am giving Cutter shit for taking awhile, but i am not trying, the Corona virus isn't their fault lol

Their supplier of chips is affected by coronavirus so you may be waiting awhile. I've been waiting since Feb19, and mine still say in production

I placed my order with Cutter on March 3rd. Now, I don’t feel so bad about how long it’s been taking.

I switch to flower in less than a week, I really hope they come in soon or I won't be able to give them a full flower cycle for a review

Just check with them, they might have chips for boards other than UV

You too should @ Mark using "welight" and ask for any info he might have at all on how to implement these UV diodes in say a very common sized area of a 4x4 space and if spreading the 12 chips evenly across a longer 4' strip would work better for even coverage.

Those UV strips too?

nah im not ordering them until I know their solid not really any info on them atm waiting for cutter or welight to post on them but I don't trust uv led diode tech yet that might be because of how much uvb I really like its overkill yes but would like something that compares to a agromax just not so fucking long. But I got 2700k's,3000k's,and 3500k's doing 4 strips per heatsink for 6 heatsinks total gonna be pretty spread out on the bar parts but 4 strips per bar is gonna be nice.

Agreed. I've asked him now I think 4 maybe even 5 times to just explain the implementation of these and what you'd need to do in a 4x5 to get good results. Still not much back from on though besides saying it'd be 2-3 of those strips. So I asked couldn't you just spread them over a 4' strip, spaced out those 12 diodes and have it work more effectively?
No response. Really hope to get some definitely olive answers.

yup been seeing u ask him and he just hides from it I guess hes busy yeah but 2-3 strips for a 4x5 hmm I think I will stick to my agros for a while, only like 20 bucks to change a bulb and imo the bulbs can last a year plus so idc at that point I can get 4 grows out so worth I guess but would love to do a led equiv to agromax doe would be awesome but prob expensive af for all the leds and im not sure how much uvb is really put off from the chips either so its more of a Russian roulette atm but would like info on uv chips but until then I have to stick with my 4 foot fixture which is annoying as all hell but it works nicely

I'm set up ready to go just need the actual strips, i'm looking forward to seeing if they do anything, I imagine they have to do something, whether it is good or bad remains to be seen lol. Guess I will find out someday

No they have not shipped. Not even sure if they got the chips in or not. Mark said they were supposed to get them this week, but I'm not counting on it because I have not heard anything. If they did get them, they still say in production.

Going to need them soon! Flipping after this light cycle

yeah right now I sent the same strain into flower and I'm gonna take like 12 monster cropped clones off it and do those sounds like a good idea to me got a whole bunch of room for babies for 5 almost vegged out plants, but I need to make my next round just gonna monster crop a run and see if monster cropping is actually helpful. never done it before but seen nice results so I'm just giving the plant I put in flower 12 days or so before I take cuttings but gotta wait. looks good doe cant wait till my plants start bushing out got another 2 weeks to 3 of veg left but should be a good run in the future

I don't have enough room for everything, and some family just added two clones to my veg tent. I made him keep them in my little clone/seedling tent until I could inspect them. They are clean, unless the dirt has something. I sprayed them with plant therapy before lights out just in case. I need to get another tent because the flower tent is full,
