I had the older 200 watt bloom master, It had good penetration for one plant and it did OK. I liked it but I like my CXB3590's better. It grows good bud if you got the right combination of media, plant and nutes or whateverView attachment 3609644 View attachment 3609630 Guess what came in the mail today!
With all the great diy on this site.... I don't know what the attraction to those would be..
2eho I guess
Cool! I get my new lights this week to. I'm excited & im sure plenty of people will knock my choices. But I did my homework & am aware of my purchases strong points & weak. After studying your new SolarStorm 220, you obviously wanted it for your reasons. Congraduations on your new purchase. Let us know how you fair with it as many people that own them seem to post they are happy campers & others who've done research on specs tend do disagree. But, they do use quality components & have been around for a bit with the first to my knowledge to make their bigger light with UV T-5 bulbs. So at least they're trying to keep a unique product design I think. Grow away n let us know you're opinion as you are using it. Peace!View attachment 3609644 View attachment 3609630 Guess what came in the mail today!
lol about time! have fun with emAS GOOD IS MY WITNESS I WILL NEVER BE BLURPLE AGAIN!
Cuz I got my first hundred CXB3590 3500K CD BIN COB LED chips, in 25 modules, each and every last one of them running at 54W.
I'm almost ready to fire them up and see what they'll do.
Lol right?lol about time! have fun with em
Nice. I believe in white light too as the Burple is RQE. Albiqua taught me that a few months ago. At the time I was convinced a Burple light could actually produce just as much quality bud as it was proven with the BML Spydr Grow-Max spectrum as well as other documented grows. I thought if they can keep up or do better with RGB lights then how can white ever be more efficient? Now I believe filling the entire Photosynthetic Action Spectrum will increase overall plant performance. And now they make very efficient white phosphar lights. Even peaking R+B more for horticulture. Soon there will be more documented grows as the white light revolution takes off & DIY. Then soon enough there will be direct comparisons to actually see the difference. I'm doing this now just to see a high claims comp. against a full transparency comp. & do an RQE vs PAS. We'll see how the YPF difference truly effects the plants & the differences, yield & quality.Lol right?
Actually, the guy who built them for me did a great job, considering the crazy bastard he had for a customer.
I got exactly what I wanted in a very reasonable time frame, considering the nature of my specifications.
Frankly, it was a fucking bargain, too. The first thing I did was reorder. The second thing I did was see to it he got a raise!
I'm chronicling my misadventures on my thread, in my sig line. There have been plenty... The most recent being throwing every unit but two onto a concrete floor. All were undamaged. No, really.
I can't wait until they're actually doing what they were designed for.
Yeah I researched those too. On paper they look pretty good. Best of luck!Cool! I get my new lights this week to. I'm excited & im sure plenty of people will knock my choices.

alotta marketing time & $ with into those fixtures way more than they did with R & DYeah I researched those too. On paper they look pretty good. Best of luck!
What paper? Are you talking about the Solar storm or the lights I mentioned?alotta marketing time & $ with into those fixtures way more than they did with R & D
the paper they publish proves it
Too many acronyms. Define them, please?Nice. I believe in white light too as the Burple is RQE. Albiqua taught me that a few months ago.

714steadyeddie is just happy to get his new light. Good for him. Actually wish I was building DIY myself. So good luck on yours. I'm sure you'll get top quality light to your girls for less $$$ & a better spread.
I did the exact opposite. I had my own custom built. I'm extremely pleased.alotta marketing time & $ with into those fixtures way more than they did with R & D

RQE=Relitive Quantum Efficiency (Burple)Too many acronyms. Define them, please?
RQE?
PAS?
YPF?
I'll give you a piece of advice; stop "believing" in technology. Learn your physics and engineering and learn to recognize the difference between performance advances and bullshit...example;
I didn't go five figures deep into CXB3590 chips on a fucking whim, brother! I did my homework, I found informed people and discussed the state of the technology with them to get their perspective and I worked to make certain I could use them to deliver improved performance before I ordered them.
Do that, and your equipment choices will never fail you.
That's cool you had one built but you had to pay someone so doesn't that defeat the purpose of being a DIY guy therefor placing you with the less smart guys like me who would buy a panel or at least in the same boat. Shit, plenty of DIY guys built all Cree or Vero units that they manufactured & are great with the best components & transperancy. Best you can buy w/o actually doing it yourself. Does that mean buying them is a mistake? Maybe I just don't understand what's being replied to me. ?I did the exact opposite. I had my own custom built. I'm extremely pleased.
i hope thats a 2015 with the (72) 3W osrams, they are 28% brighter than the 2014 model with (44) 5W diodes (looks like it with the 8xxx serial number!)View attachment 3609644 View attachment 3609630 Guess what came in the mail today!

I posted this one.... however I found a better/cheaper version...This can be quite handy to have.Makes tapping a breeze.
