Hi Irish,
Thanks for doing this comparison as I have been in the market for leds for a while now.
I will be nice to see someone not involved in the industry do this.
One thing I would like to point out is the plants you started with were from a club right? You dont know if the mother was from seed or clone right? If from seed there is a good chance of different phenos so next grow you should take clones from one plant and grow them under both lights.
It looked to me the better plants went into the 126W but my money is on the 180w
As far as distance, everyone is intitled to there own opinion, I think by going with manufactures recommended distance is a good comparison.

Sounds great! I'd love to take your money!
I've stated from the start that we would match or beat ProSource with 30% less wattage, and we're doing just that. I can't wait till it gets to bloom so you can see the TRUE difference between the two units. Mark my words on it, our light being $300 cheaper and 54W less will shine victorious in this test. I put my money on it a long time ago when I made the challenge and sent Irish his unit...

i was told the cutting were from a clone from oakster dam. but i dont know for sure. both clones were as = as i could get it, and if one was a little better dont u think its fair to let the under dog have it since they are using 54w less? i think thats fair. plus no plants is going to be 100% = . i tried to pick all the clones that were the same size witch i think they were realy close to being equal.
their will not be another test after this one. i dont like being held down to testing i want to grow my way after this. toping and LST or maybe SCROG. when i do test i have to let the plants be how they grow natural to keep it faire. so no more test after this unless the companys give me other lights to test out.

Like many on these forums, I can't wait to see some independent empirical comparisons of what the latest LED grow units can do, particularly in flower (i.e not just manufacturers making ridiculous claims and getting all sensitive when criticised - LED grow forums seem to attract these people like crazy!).
You are doing us all a fine service. Much appreciated. Keep it up and keep the pix coming!

the plants were 2 weeks when i flowerd, the were 12" when i switched.
um as fare as leaning towards one light then the other? i can realy say untill i see some flowering from the lights.
as fare as veg i liked how the 126w was easier just put it at 6" and leave it alone.
the 180w took me a while to find the right higth and they were laging at first but at the end they caught up to the 126w, so they both did great for veg,
yes they sale seed at the clubs done here, i seen some seeds the last time i went they were alot of money, i think $80.00 and they wernt FEM dont know how many.
