It had two switches, one was low power, two was medium power and both on were full power. I started with just the first switch on and turned the second on after about two weeks then went to full power on week three or four. I might pull them back out soon and make a journal. I was thinking of doing a sog and seeing how some of my seeds turned out. Ill let you know when i start it if your interested.
yeah man I will follow it if you start a journal :)

Yeah I'm the same way I'm very paranoid and just expect the worst just like I did with the 350. That's part of why when it showed up broken I freaked the hell out. And nah I'm a guy but there is a girl with the same handle that I sorta found out about after.

I will post my cfl setup for comical relief lol later tonight I'm not happy but my babies spent all but 9 days under cfl so they should be fine. I just wonder how amazing my grow would have been if I had the quality gear I have now to start with. My next grow should really rock so far its going to be GDP, Blue Dream, Liberty haze

Mine has dials that you can adjust so I guess I will try the lowest setting first at maybe like 25" and see if that works then change them over to the middle at 30. For flowering I will try 28 inches with both veg and flower lights at maximum.

What ever happ3n3d with them and your situation?
They took it back no questions asked and picked it up the next day they gave me 10% off on my upgrade since I told them I wanted a better one. It actually turned out fine I was just being over paranoid. They offered to send me another unit or send the replacement part but I wanted to upgrade so they worked with me on that.

So correct me if I'm wrong..........they have charged you full price for your 650 (minus a 10% discount which imo they would have gave you if you asked in the first place)and r going to refund you on your 300 when they receive it back.........why didn't the just charge you the excess of the price difference between the 2units.....this is not a route I would have taken .....your putting to much trust in a company that should have done the deal I already explained.......I bought a new bud box tent last year that had a couple of minor defaults..... now.....after explaining how I had paid ALOT of extra cash to ensure I would have a quality item and not some bottom of the range crap that had dodgy zips they agreed with me and after telling him how it would be impossible to send it back because I had a grow already 4weeks into flower in it he arranged a courier to drop off the new one and collect the old one at the same time........This imo is how a company should work...........not ask you to buy anouther and then HOPEFULLY refund you when they get the old one back.......sorry to be so negative but I can tell how much you r looking forward to getting your new unit and hope all goes well.....''......by the way how much is the 650?

Well they didn't push me to get a bigger one they just offered to send a new one. The shipping takes like four days so same day swap would have left me with a light for longer, that's why I just put in the new order that day. Trust me I get what you are saying about a shady company but I think sadly they are the best. I loved the unit I had so I'm certain this is what I want and as far as price, lets say its roman noodle time for about a month lol. I just want to spare no expense on my grow op so I can make sure my next grow is something I can really be proud of. And I don't think you are being negative I think you are being cautious and caution is always smart. And the light was about $1600 but that's at least three years under full warranty with far less drain on the power bill and almost no heat. I don't want any kind of heat signature at all from outside and I don't want ballasts that will give an electrician the need to snoop around my house.

Yea j I wish you all the best and will keep an eye out on how your grow goes ..........$1600 isn't that much when you look at the electricity you will be saving.....

And when I had them under the 350 my stems turned red and plants took on a really nice green color so I have huge expectations for it but I will be doing some autoflower strains first I think so I can cure my GDP and BD as slow as possible. Flavor is a big part of the grow for me. The penetration is really good on these so hoping to grow some of my plants nice and tall later on.
