so many variables involved mate. I always thought they give good solid results, but then again, so does the mars hydro II series and that's a good price too. Choice is yours nowadays.

test by growershouse with a par footprint -how its usually done, without imho mysterious circleshttp://growershouse.com/images/ALTEST_infographic_1.pdf
But I dont get what "AVERAGE OF PAR 4' X 4' PERIMETER"
means compared to : AVERAGE OF ALL PAR OVER 4' X 4' FOOTPRINT in the first part of the test.
That Kind modell is beeing sold as a 600W HPS replacement.


Notice absorption spectrum for "whole leaf" and action spectrum for "crop plants".
...and in their vid they have a "pigment extract"

I don't have a clue. I bought the Kind because of the Reviews and then later I noticed it was Kind doing the reviews. I never trust anyone claiming to be the best. Shame it's so hard to find independent reviews. Kind light is obviously good but how good? That is the question. The Mars have a lot of positive journals and seem like good value for the buck. Grow northern really interests me because of low power consumption. Is there an american version in the pipeline? Keep reading MC.. Keep reading. Now you've got me interested in checking out Cidly

American made you need to look into California lightworks. I absolutely love these grow lights.

in this study by Utah state University they seem to be "not so good", those california lightworks lights -atleast compared to hps, regarding use in horticulture

The proof is in the picture. The solar storm is a little more costly then some leds but the writing is on the wall for HPS IMO. I just watched a video where a comaprison was done with Gavita 1000 watt systems and led he wanted to get rid of the gavita after he seen what the led could do it is on youtube
