I was going to let you live in your fantasy land for a little but you had to keep coming with bull shit. Seriously dude.... 24hr after your comment, and I don't respond...so you write another???
No one questioned your reputation
@Greengenes707 or your growing skills. BTW you guys aren't the only one's qualified to grow all of my mentors don't do youtube video's they have books. Comparing growing useless. Your choice to do youtube that does not validate you just you grow in an mmj friendly space. I know plenty of my friends grow and been growing for more than 20 years documented on line no big deal either.
You guys quit sharing other than driving business to you and your circle of profiteers. No big deal that is called marketing.
Samsung diodes are still just that anyone distracting from that is not sharing but self oriented not supporting the OP.
Youtube is one of my platforms, including this forum you came to way after me, that I have shared every aspect of leds and growing from years before anyone was DIYing on any scale. Self funded rooms, show visits, factory visits. Multiple light company reviews. You don't see me posting GTRT post every week???that's right you don't. All I have ever done is lay it all down I front of everyone and put my money where my mouth is. You can try and down play me as a "sell out" but it looks really pathetic on you. Like I said, I was one of the first to stand up when the biggest code breach happened.
You came in here saying that we were basically unjustly helped by others as where the OP is getting grilled for it. Which I have already stood up for in this thread so you should leave me out of it.
So I ask you, do you really think this untested first run of strips is the same as years of growing and openly testing multiple platforms and designs showing before opening up to the public for judgment?
I have gone way above and beyond to earn and validate my reputations and what it's out behind.
Most people in my day that spent all that time growing in public were seed breeders. That was why they were public. I do not see you or your crew developing seeds strains and selling seeds. Seeds are readily available too and now with Jerry at Kingbright and other's like him, grow lights will be inexpensive too.
Everyone buys everything from China while slamming the Chinese and cheap Chinese junk, etc etc. Well the Chinese have been watching and they are producing the same lights you guys have been buying parts from them for so long now. Now the game changes. Chinese companies have been moving their products to US shores for some time now. Get prepared for a price war on led lights. the same lights you guys built and sold are being built and prepared for sale by Chinese cutting out the middle man You and others like you, HLG, PLC, etc. meanwell has US based sales and distribution trc electronics. hope you guys are not trying to sell meanwell drivers any longer. Cree cobs are coming down in price and also will have US based outlets too.
nothing lasts forever, except friendships. When the profits have all been taken all that is left is friendships.
Same thing happened to Sour Diesel ibl. and their breeders. history lesson for today.
You really just want to portray me as a sell out and you are doing such a horrible job.
Do I still sell parts since all these people jumped in...? no...no need and have openly said it. Also said that if anyone is paying more than 35$ retail for the 28$ wholesale cree 3590...that they can come to me and I'll get them at cost.
Do I still sell lights...yes...90% commercially.
Do I work with and get certain things made in china...yes.
Am I a cree partner? yes
Am I a meanwell partner.....yes
Do I sell their components individually....no
But you just want to tray and make me seem like some kind of commercial sell out. Since you arr failing miserably at it...maybe you should not talk about things that you have no idea about.It may help you and you marketing since that is all you do is market your controller.
Anyways dude...you should just stay in your lane and realize what the fuck you are writing before you open your mouth. There is not a single thing that you have been correct about and your attempts at down playing me are pathetic.
