The ONLY "problem" I've ever had with HLG is that, whenever I have been ready to order one of their panels, I find out there is a newer panel, with even more features I want, a few months away from release....so I wait for that one to come out and then when it does, the same thing happens over...

16 fans running to cool the HGL fixtures.....

Interesting that only three people voted in that pole! :)

I knew this was going to end up in a very entertaining, dramatic, angry thread. It had all the markings from the start. Yet another Game Of Lights....Who will win the crown? dee-da dada dee-da da-da daaaa

Plants don't see the purple light the way human eyes do. Plants respond to a light source and it doesn't seem to matter what that light source is as long as the photons are there and the plants have a chance to get used to the Gestalt of the growing conditions. Therefore, we can't really judge...

As states continue to "legalize" weed. there will be opportunists ready to move at the drop of a hat. The only big money for a non-corporate-owned operation is going to be the momentary big money that such opportunists stand to make. But, as with Oregon, the situation will change within a year...

There is no type of light that will create consistently "better" results with every type of plant. Some plants will respond to a certain spectrum....others, not so much. So many conditions need to be met and attended to with each and every plant of each and every grow, for this reason. Even...

Sphere is ready for testing.....;)

IS there even a U.S. manufacturer that makes electronic components? Because I would support a 100% made in the U.S.A. light if that was an option.

I'm speaking of the designers and electronics experts who already know they can design an extremely energy-efficient light source (whatever it may be -chip, laser beam, etc.). I believe the technology is already known. It's certainly known in the auto manufacturing industry, in regards to...

Most of the grow light companies are only as up-to-date as the parts they use. If a chip manufacturer knows how to make a chip that can achieve 10 umols per joule, then he also knows how to make a chip that can make less than that....and that's exactly what he's going to do. All he has to do is...

I used to be SO pissed off at "Jeff" from Area 51 lights...because he was such a big thing around here for a couple years-like the Soup Nazi from Seinfeld....Him and his sycophants would gang up on new members who dared talk about their new light (that wasn't an Area 51 model) But, thankfully...

As legalization moves forward and eventually becomes 100%, we will see GIANT industry taking over the mega-grow ops....likely a company like R.J. Reynolds. When this happens, marijuana will become just another thing for the masses to buy in packs. This type of giant operation will undoubtedly...

I actually prefer to be discreet with my marijuana use, but I don't hide it from my wife. She would probably prefer if I didn't smoke, but I have really gotten my use down to a "science" now. I'm not into partying anymore at my age. So, my use is pretty much to myself.

You all KNOW that, as soon as LED efficiency gets up in the 3.0+ efficiency range, it will be time for laser grow lights that will be mind-blowingly efficient....and then all preceding technology will begin to fade into obsoletion....You DO know that....right? ;)

goddamn right! well said!

LOL! No, I'm not a cop and I guess I have lost my paranoia about cops and weed, now, because the law and weed aren't at odds here on the West coast. I mean, if you happen to be one of those types of people who drive around hotboxing, or blowing smoke in a cop's face, then it might be a different...

This sounds like me -except that my neighborhood is a bunch of young parents with kids and so I stay very discreet to keep from becoming the "drug guy". The problem is that after you get to be a decent grower, you can end up with too much weed from just one plant! It's fun to get good results...

...What do you you do with your excess (if any)? There's always a lot of discussion about people seeking to get bigger yields and grams-per-watt of a certain kind of light spectrum....not to mention all the "secret formulas" of fertilizers, etc. used to boost yields. But, what is the...

Not me. I started out with fluorescents back in the 70's....switched to MH in the 80's....switched to HPS in the 90s....switched to COBs in the last few years....recently bought a Nextlight (Samsung chips)...currently looking at some T5 fixtures (just because)....and also considering a CMH...
