leds are a serios rip off. they don't grow as good bud as hps.
I thought the same thing for years and still run hps in my other room. I can tell you without even chopping yet that is certainly not true. I have strains I’ve run for some time in here and with the exception of one strain all are performing better, frostier and heavier than before. I was very worried about quality at the start of this run and that is no longer a concern of mine.
As for the rest of your long post yes some of the led companies are putting out crap product that isn’t going to last. With so many companies popping up over night that is definitely going to happen.
Bulb changes for De bulbs is like every 8 months for me and it’s 100 dollars a bulb. I didn’t really do the math on it but when you start having multiple rooms with multiple lights in a residential sitting it’s hard to justify adding more and more mini splits, it’s also nice to free up some amps on the panel. Saving on electric isn’t really what I’m going for so I added more lights.
As far as people’s personal opinion on brands of lights or where they are built I could care less. All I care about is performance in my rooms and so far I’m very happy.
I’ll post some more pictures tonight or tomorrow before I chop.
Every LED is made in China. There’s even a exact copy of the 1930e for half the price.
If you have time could you post a link I’d consider trying them, if price was good. The price on these is slowly coming down, I think I can get for under 1k each now.
