    800w of CXB3070 in a 4x4

    This? I don't think they mean to say MCOB are better than COB. Just stating some changes perhaps. They were weighing options to launch a new product but are looking for feedback on what growers want as far as specs goes. It seems to me like people want more CREE instead of the Epistar/Epileds. I...

    The company's that tell people to 'steer clear' of others that don't provide specs are the ones selling grow lights that are not competitively priced. I understand. Mars Hydro - 2 for $150. Hard to beat that and even I will admit it. Most home growers are looking for something cheap and $150 is...

    800w of CXB3070 in a 4x4

    I am not an employee of GrowthStar if that is what you meant to ask. I just like what they do and they have a working product with good feedback from third party testers.

    Not quite, I'm saying livingsoilman quoted something from that guide. LeoLED themselves got the information from another source e.g. Wikipedia or other as I can see their copyscape percentage. Companies just rephrase these things in their own way. Again, theory is nice but proof is better. PS...

    2x400w versus 1x1000w

    https://www.facebook.com/growthstar/photos/pcb.1281785748505317/1281785318505360/?type=3&theater The feed schedule, strength, etc was more or less similar. The temp/humidity is not as accurate since they were done literally side by side next to eachother so heat from one might have affected the...

    A lot of the technical jargon is used by companies to take advantage of inexperienced growers that are new to LED. If you are a home grower, all you really need to know is that the company will honor their refund/warranties, that the light works (e.g. there are others growing with the light with...

    2x400w versus 1x1000w

    Hey, I just saw your post. Which COB (Chips on Board) LED are you referring to and can you post the link to your thread here? There are lots of COB LEDs coming up and a lot of the companies advertising them don't advertise the actual draw - they just advertise total watts. LEDs don't run at the...

    The prices are reasonable considering you also get a 3 year warranty, 60 day buy-back policy, and free shipping (only if you order through www.cobgrowlights.com run by GrowthStar based in Canada - CAN/USA shipping only). Custom spectrum/specs available on larger orders. Wholesale discounts...

    LED vs HPS

    How did this thread go from talking about LED to HPS? Anyways, just an update on one of the GrowthStar growers. We like to call him Dr. D and it has nothing to do with a sexual innuendo at least I was told. Stay tuned or like us on Facebook for more progress updates facebook.com/growthstar

    Hey guys im about to buy this LED for my closet need advice

    J-Icky the thing you don't understand is you can say all you want. Until you run grow trials I don't give a rats ass. Go do 30 some odd side by side grow trial comparisons of different products and then come back to me and tell me about your scientific data. These cob grow lights work better...

    Damn bggrass just laying down the law. Anyways, not4n... your links didn't work. I'd try Ebay as Aliexpress often has higher prices. But you can also try emailing the company on aliexpress to buy directly.

    Research (reading something online) doesn't make you an expert... You sound like someone that did 'research' on the latest and greatest penny stock and is now telling others how to invest in penny stocks. To me, research is buying and trying different grow lights in side by side comparisons to...

    @Hybridway I see what you are doing on this thread so I will leave you to it. I'm not opposed to third party endorsements. When you've tried at least 30 different brands in side by side grow trials for more than 2 years then I would be fine with your 'advice.' Other than that, for that...

    Is there a reason you are promoting Amare? I noticed their prices are rather high... Their spectrum has no UV and low 660. Blue and red provide plants with most of what they need anyways. The rest is extra heat output. It is like using a HID/HPS etc which aren't specific nor efficient for...

    Great but why go beyond blue and red when they provide 95% or more of what plants need? Wouldn't the rest put out extra heat? Ive seen the DIY ones. growmau5 on youtube among others. But commercial growers don't buy DIY grow lights. If you are home grown then sure thats fine. If you cause...
