LED GROW TEST. 126W hydro grow led VS. 180W pro source LED LIGHT

Growledhydro is a ripoff. I bought a 120 watt panel from him, it came dented on top, smashed in so much that the middle fan does not work at all. I emailed him on it, and told him I was very unhappy with the output and damage of the light. He sent me a free 120 watt panel because his coverage area on the led panel description was "wrong", (it didnt cover half what he said). So the two 120 watt panels together, did nothing but twist the shit out of my plants leaves. They went form perfect, to a twisted lot, kept the lights exactly how far was told to, even raised them, and twisting continued, (I read alot on the net, people have same problem. So I wanted my money back, no go. Growledhydro will not answer my calls, will not answer my emails, and deletes every negative comment on his youtube videos. He just ignores his unsatisfied customers. I replaced the panels with two 150 watt hps lights, and my babies are doing awesome. The 120 watt panels are the 3 watt led variety, 11 wavelength or whatever, I'd sell them both right now to anyone interested for 300 total, they go for 350 each on his site, they are about 2 months old. PM me if interested.

I have pics, but I wont be sending to anyone or posting. Besides, the core coverage area was stated incorrectly on his web when I bought the light, tis why he sent me another one. Well the 120 day money back thing, having to take pictures and send them for proof, that wasnt on the site at the time I purchased lights either. Now I paid for 1, I have 2, and I'm still not happy, you would think he would have no problem giving me my money back and selling them each for 350. Tells me somin right there. They prob cost 50 bucks tops to have made and shipped from china.

If they are only around 2 months old, how did you ever manage to give them a good test? How long did you use the units, and what else is with the story aside from the saturation area. When a car salesman says he is giving you the best price possible, do you think he is full of shit? I would...

I have a unit from GLH, and I can say the coverage is extreme, but it is better than the HydroGrowLED panels, and goes beyond the footprint of the unit itself. All rules still apply here bro in that the further away you get from your light source, the weaker the light is at any given point in that distance. I have been told and read that a 250W will cover a 4x4 area, well thats all fine and well, and I am damn sure it would, but probably not to the best of its ability for such an area.

I bet if you were to work with GLH, a compromise could be made.

Peace
Sorry irish...had to...

HDB if you want som results you are going to have to work with someone to get a result you are looking for, just saying it didn't work really does not work for us and with out more info or pictures to backup what you say is all smoke as far as I am concerned.

Have you have a sucessful grow befor using the LED light?

I would talk with the company not many will sit by and have their named dragged threw the dirt and would rather have a happy customer, I know I would

Try working with them and see what happens

And give us more info on yoursetup
temp, watering schedule, distance the light is from the plants and anything else that can help out

Good luck with this and they do work
As you can see there are a few of us around here to help if needed

i talked to GLH today about this and he said he gave you a free light for the one that had a bad fan, then the next day you told him that his lights didn't work with growing plants, and he said send them back and he would give you a full refund, and you never replied back to him after that. so if it was only a day after you got the light you said this then you didn't really give it a fair test right? or am i missing something? did he not give you a free light for the damage one? and let you still keep the old one? and did you not give them more then a few days after you received the new light to say you didnt like his light and it dosent grow?

either way their are a few growers counting me that are doing a grow with this test and we will find out if they work good or not.

here are some pics of my new grow area with the 600w led.
i will be doing 4 big girls that will be LST under it. the light is 3.5' away from the top of the pots in these pics. needed the head room while cleaning.lol
Please, he is full of shit, dont you think if he said to send them back, I would have sent them back? It is ALL I ever wanted. Yes I have a few grows under my belt, I have used cfl, hps, older led's and I wanted to try to beat the heat for my cramped growlab. I thought maybe these newer more powerful LED's would be the ticket, I was not convinced, and I did not ask for my money back the day after I got the second led panel, it was after 3 weeks of twisting leaves, and very little progress during veg. I just did NOT Like them. Now why wont he get on here and say, HDB, send me the lights and Ill refund your 375 bucks? Instead he ignores my emails, and deletes my comments on his youtube channel and vids. This has been going on for 2 months now, he has no interest in refunding shit. Like I said, I'll sell both for 300 right now, if ya'll are so convinced his shit works so good, you should jump on the deal.

Like all new technology, there are going to be good products and bad. What I have been able to glean in my research is that there is a serious slump in plant usable light the higher the wattage. This is also true of the individual chips themselves. Example: 3-single watt chips actually produce more usable light than a single 5 watt chip.

For those concerned about the limited area of coverage of LEDs, I was told to place my lights about 18 inches above the plants. I have 2 120w panels over six plants in three gallon soil filled containers. I have had plants under these lights for one week today, plants have grown about eight inches, but I do have to rotate them as plants on outer edge are bending to get to the brighter light. All plants doing very well, and my lights are comprised of blue and red LEDs. I also purchased two 14 w red panels which I will employ once I reduce light cycle. Presently I am giving them 20 hours a day of light as my own opinion ( having been an avid gardener long before growing cannabis ) is that they should have some dark time even while vegging. Don't claim to be an expert, but will continue to post my experiences. Also, LEDs are very durable, as I had ceiling hook pull out and drop panels three feet on to concrete floor when I was first installing them, and they are no worse for the fall thank the gods of heavenly buds.

Hey Irish,

I just sat down and read all 50 pages of your thread....Crazy...hahahhahaha..anyway i am a new to the game grower, and am using 2 90w tri band led's with T5 flouresnts surounding the room....theres a lot more to it then that...but maybe i'll start my own journal explaining it all....Anyway i see you've posted the weights of what you got, but how is the quaility of the end result ? Is it potent? Anything like the Hindu bud you got from the dispensry? Or is it weaker, not as strong fire bud?
