Best advice I can give is go watch Greengenes videos. He does side by sides of the spectrums they be all up on that there youtube's.

I use 4k myself. I like the looks of Gene's results with it too. Cree and Vero's are slightly different if I am not mistaken. One has slightly more blue if I recall correctly. Not sure which one.
Sorry for sending people here. Was a waste of time, got a glimpse of the Customer service you'll receive don't waste your time or money.

Google works. Sure does. So does word of mouth.

The owner of PLC was a business management major with a marketing minor.
GG is a grower....the grower that has documented and tested LED's for years and made it all public for the anyone to use as a reference. And continues to...you think 3500k and 4k just popped into everyone's minds at the same time coincidently?
So when when I put my GG Instagram account with an extra period in the link on accident...must mean PLC is a bunch of fuckers who will provide poor customer service. Was PLC even mentioned on the page this started, or the one before it, or before that...NOPE. Good one guys!

So again...keep up the slander. Love it.

lol slander for real? It's your company, I didn't mention it by name once bro. Not once. Is that the same bullshit you used to get the post deleted? Or are you 2 entities so different that's why you ninja edited the "Google does". Maybe the mods want to do a little background work before they go deleting posts. I understand there was some profanity, he pissed me off. It could have been edited. It certainly wasn't slanderous.

Have a great time selling your lights. It will be interesting to watch the show unfold. You're representing yourself super well. Go ahead and ninja edit your companies name out of your post. You're the one affiliating yourself. Not me, I didn't mention your companies name once in any of my posts, I may have one time when I referenced someone to your thread in a different thread but certainly not this one.

Again I was trying to be helpful. Not rude. I wanted people to be able to find what you were linking. I don't like being told to google something, it's insulting.

First things first...I have not reported or complained about any of your post. Only responded to them.
I deleted my own post like I said...hyperlink left of "edit" and "report" in someone's own post bro.And then asks for a reason why...and I explained that in my thread...but you wanted to bring it here.
So how yours got deleted has nothing to do with me.

This all started by you coming in here out of my thread to make a public statement about PLC because I gave you lip about my GG insta link not working.
You say you never used the name...but you did...you used your own quotes about recommending plc...to then say "don't go here"
Which is fine...if they did something. But your beef is with me.

You then went off on a tantrum which got deleted aplenty.

And now we are here with you tantruming again. Because yes, I told you google works in response you saying my link to GG's insta didn't work. Dick response?...ya. Did I delete it by my own will within a minute of posting it, and admit it was mean?...ya. So keep your flame lite bro...why let me put it out in 60secs...you can just take it to a new thread and yell about it.
If I could go and repost it in the same post I would. If you want to take it this far and out of context, I wish it was there still.
Here is was for those who weren't reading in the 60seconds it was up, it looked like this...
Google does
I originally had the "let me google that for you" link ready but held back. I should have committed 100% in retrospect.

I don't talk about PLC outside of my own thread very much, and when it is, I have never initiated it. Even in mine...it's about my grow. Go ahead and ctlr+F away. You won't find much.
I am here as a grower, just as I have been for years before this. I won't be able to avoid a plc questions here and there, but I don't run with them, and I redirect to the grow as soon as possible, or ignore them outside my thread. I am fully aware of the line I have to walk since I started it. Even before then I was not just a normal customer with apache...and everyone knew/knows that. Never employed, but they are a personal friend whose business(top of the line leds) coincided with my pleasure(growing). But I have always put the grows and results first. Results do the talking. And mine aren't even record breaking. Just solid, consistent, and honest.

So if you want to continue to cry about it then have at it. But I owe you nothing more in here.

I'm looking to add a 4th 4x4 flood table to my growroom without drawing more juice. I have 3200 watts of HPS and induction running over 3 tables now. four apache at600's is where I'm leaning but I just can't drop that coin without making sure it'd be a good investment for me. Am I insane to make this move? I grow sea of green and this room is forever on 12/12
I don't wanna be a dick bumping my shit but can you help me out GG? I know you are killing it with your lights but I just wanna make sure I'm getting the best white/red ratio and the lenses to get my 4 tables covered. I feel like I'm buying a fucking car making this move lol

lol, look I get it you don't want to pay RIU the advertising fee's so you're trying to distance yourself so you can have a free advertising angle. I get it. You don't think it's been tried? Whats next "oh I'm just here to provide support" lol.

I came in here to tell people that I had recommended to your thread that you reacted like an asshole to the simplest of problems like a broken link. I don't send people to companies, or company representative or affiliates or whatever you're going to call yourself to be treated poorly, or have their intelligence insulted because you think you're clever, or funny, or whatever you were trying to accomplish with that google comment.

I'm done here man, you're full of yourself. You aren't pulling the wool over anyone's eyes.

Still off. Not trying not to pay...I don't do anything that would make me an advertiser. And there is no support from GG or thread about it. They have their own email and site for a reason. If someone needs something for them...email them, not come to RIU.

I have been here actively for 5 years. The business that is yet to sell a light erases years of growing doesn't it. Your a tool. You are so upset I told you to google it hilarious.

Hello lovley people :bigjoint: I have a quick question and want some advice from another about this product. It's my first grow and so in the begining while doing research I ended up getting a 1000 wat hid thinking it was probably the best I could get for my set up. I saw led during my looking around but never looked into them simply just cause I really didnt know and they seemed more expensive. The thing about the hid is it's just so big heavy and hot and uses a ton of electricity. Now am I really realizing that led's are the future. So i'm planning on completing this run with the 1000 and then I think i'm gonna sell it to try and get some led's idealy 1 400watt and 1 600 watt or 2 400 watts. I went on ebay and found this light what do you think???http://m.ebay.com/itm/171738956642 the price is definantly manageble so i'm thinking probably 2 of these but I don't know what to look for when looking at leds. Any help or opinions backed with logic would amazing thank youuuu also another one ( a 600 watt) http://m.ebay.com/itm/MarsHydro-600W-LED-Grow-Light-Full-Spectrum-For-Veg-Flowering-272-5-True-Watt-/290950075690?nav=SEARCH

Don't buy it it's junk. What's your budget?

Could you explain why possibly? I don't know what my budget will be then, but probably not alot. Pretty tight. What would you prefer?
They use epistar diodes and you get what you pay for. Why I asked budget is to see how much you can spend on possibly making one or suggesting one that will fit your wallet. Also what size area are you going to grow in.

That's the reasonable assumption. Companies like Kind (Lush, HydroGrowLED, Blackdog, GrowBlu) aren't bashful about promoting vague stuff like "proprietary blend-a-matic spetrum" to justify their high prices. If the diodes they use were anything to brag about, you can bet they'd hype that.

Hard to believe they're suddenly humble when it concerns the diodes they use, their efficiency, etc.

I don't care what anyone uses. I'm sure Kind (et. al.) grow well. But, for prices approaching $3 per watt, I'd like to know what I'm getting (and have a lifetime warranty, planned upgrades when technology evolves, etc.). If I were going for mystery stuff, MarsHydro or Vipar(ebay) at $1 per watt looks better to me.
So what would you get with a 4x4 or 6x8 plants, coco, verifier, smart pot hydro testing? Yield? Kind?

Also, anyone know of the company that gives you a huge credit, within 5 years or forever, so you pay little to upgrade to latest/greatest as they know the tech. changes, anyone? Thank You.
