plants need photons not watts.

Amen! Everyone wanna talk watts when it comes to LEDs watts don't really mean shit! Watts are people lumens are for plants its all about lumens and PAR when it comes to LEDs. Watts only tell how much power it can produce. If a 75w led can put out the same lumens and par as a 180w the only thing you'll be loosing is money off your electric bill. I just hate that every wants to talk watts when it comes to led when watts don't tell you Much at all when it comes to LED. I could be wrong but I'm sure I've seen that discussion several times and watts never win to judge the quality of a led.just my 2 cents

Good point your raising lumens they are becoming more and more relevant with LED grow lights because there using white light,a year or 2 ago when they were predominantly red and blue PAR was the way to go.
 
Wait and see the confusion when somebody figures out how to use laser photonics on cannabis plants :)

Lol I'm picturing Dr evil stroking his cat and trying to put laser beams on lady bugs and preying mantis' to light a plant with 0 watts

Here is the post your wrote as you seem to have forgotten how you worded it.

"If you can grow 250g under 75watts that would be really impressive. But you're talking over 3 grams per watt here... I just cant see it being possible. Fuck man, if you can grow 250g under 75watts I'd seriously consider buying them. I'm sure they are impressive units, high quality parts, top bin chips, but they dont operate outside the laws of physics/photosynthesis/more light=morebuds.

We're all intelligent individuals... At this pricepoint there's a huge markup/profit. My chinese LED's are built like a tank punch out a bunch of light and get the job done. I'm not hating on GN, i just dislike seeing companies take people to town for a perception of quality. Hell maybe these lights are some next generation sci fi technology that will cure cancer n shit... But I'm more inclined to believe they just source their parts from the same factories every other LED manufacturer does, carefully put them together, slap a sticker on them and sell them to you with a big smile.


Premium price is not all its cracked up to be...I've heard stories about certain top priced LED's overheating if they dont have a fan pointed directly at them..."

as as you can see you claim you know where the components are sourced and there price and you claim GN are going to take people to town....that's inflammatory towards GN and your a fool if you don't see it.

Blimey, he didn't say he knows anything, as i've highlighted in bold, he said he was 'inclined to believe'.

He seriously got a temp-ban for that? That seems like an overreaction IMHO.

But Gloom, it was only a two day ban so roll with the punches and don't blow it up into an international incident!

Honestly! What a lot of fuss about nothing on both sides!


Kiss and make up guys,

steely
 
that wasnt why he was banned steely , it was the start of more to come and together with past history a ban became warranted

can everyone now please let that poor horse R.I.P
