Well my mark up is nowhere near what you are thinking, speculate all you like but don't think everyone is the same, there are,( believe it or not) some people in this world who aren't greedy.
I wasn't implying that you're gonna try ripping people off. Anything below $2.5/w seems pretty fair to me. I was just saying that it isn't uncommon for things to be marked up a whole lot.

Indeed this is true this lights thrown a wrench in my planning other led companies have me so jaded it's hard to believe anything anymore lol. True or not it's sad really could you let us know max exactly what spectrums are using what LEDs and also what model led from the manufacturer ur purchasing from. I want to compare componentry to a few other lights I'm lookin at

Ok, it's a rotten spanner but I understand where you are coming from. I didn't want to mention any other company's because I don't want to participate in any slanging matches, but as far as I can tell at the moment the nearest light that is coming close to what I would buy is from a company called Growstealth (not Stealthgrow). They do a GSL300watt PRO BLOOM ($749) and this is a very good led fixture. I, however have have taken this one step further with my design by incorporating more advanced focusing lenses AND using my own spectrum and build quality demands. I totally understand anyone who wants to "shop around" because this is the normal thing to do. All I can say, is that I am willing and able to put something new into the mix and in the meantime "up" the benchmark. Just watch this space ;-)

Thank you. All I want to do is provide something that is good and honest ! I hate greed, because at the end of the day we ALL end up in the same place.

Let's let the lights do the talking. Let me know when your getting close to getting the lights.. but until then lets try to ease up a little on all the new light talk and focus on what we have going.

20 more days to go ? I know this is not a grow about weight but does anyone care to take a guess dry weight of trimmed bud for each plant, no stalks left on at all ? Just a bit of fun. My guess. Spectra 22g, Blackstar 38g. Penetrator 45g. But who knows in 20 more days I could be a mile out. :-)

dunno but if that`s all he gets, I dont see the point of spending so much time growing!! 22g!!? the last thing I want is spend 50+days caring for a plant under 1 light and get 4 days worth of smoke!? I sure hope it`s a lot higher that`s all. I am new to growing but I think that 1 plant under 1 light with that much wattage should get much better result than 22g!!!

what`s up witht the famed 1.5 gpw that the average Joe is suppose to get with LEDs!?

The 290 looks like it barely did the job compared to the others. WTF, notice also few comments from others using GLH, hope this test is not a good example for the lite, but who knows anymore... anyone want to buy some used glh lites, LOL...

@Enduroxx

you smoke 22g in 4 days and your new to growing? how did you afford to buy that much when you weren't growing are you smoking schwag? damn the shit I'm smoking would fry your mind if you smoked that much you wouldn't even be able to function.

yeah I would be talking out my ass if I said I've got 1.5gpw all I know is I grow some good smoke and plenty enough for me and that's what floats my boat. I don't even think you could fit 450 grams under the coverage area of a blackstar 500 sure be nice if you could though.

It was a bit of an exageration, I only smoke 5g a day for 6 months of the year ... in the winter I only smoke 2 :eyesmoke: ... and yes it's very expensive and I get the good stuff,... so that's why I am here now ;-)
