Reading your led headlight again, I probably have several similar, but for something more worthy
I have
* 2 Aquatec 8800 hp pumps one purchased as back up, barely used
* a bunch of hpa fittings/mist heads
* Bad ass air pump with metal manifold, barely used (too loud) http://www.fishtanksdirect.com/commercialair1-10wsingleoutlet.aspx
TOooo Bad we dont all live in the same Continent! We could probably have some AWESOME... what are they called... Elephant Parties? Where everyone brings a Re-Gift, and you leave with someones elses? Or maybe a HUGE Swap Shop!
I could probably get something GOOD for these 3 - 2.5 Gallon Jugs of GH nutes? Since I switched to Jack's Proffesional Hydroponics and CalcNit dry nutes, I have rendered GH USELESS! I guess I keep them around incase I want to SLOW things down! I have started my 4th year on my initial purchase of Jacks (under $90 for 25lbs of each), AND I am still trying to figure out HOW TO KEEP UP with the FAST Growth!
Hey Med Scientist, i am sold in these leds too! i have some second thoughts though. If they are top leds why are they so cheap? in comparison with the greatest like area 51, california lightworks, EVO,Blackdog etc. is it a new company? cause i can't find any grows with em,only yours and from another guy from RIU. Is it because of the 3w epistar chips compared with the 5w cree's? I must say yours look wonderful the only ones defoliated i have seen with good results so far.I am terribly sorry for my english and maybe my silly questions, i am a small scale grower and very new to this so i am trying to find something good that will last for a long time and not have to worry about lightning anymore. Keep up the good job, i would rep you again if i could..!
(lospsi... PLEASE Release your Sorrow and Post here OFTEN! This IS a place of LEARNING for ALL of Us!)
My GUESS would be YES, they are a relatively NEW Company, and ARE looking to MAKE a name for Themselves and Establish a GOOD Market share of this LED Market! I also think that this tech is less expensive to Build per Usable Watt. It appears they plan to make $$$ as a bulk supplier while they establish Themselves as one of the TOP LED Marketers!
I have been trying to keep up with all the NEW Journals popping up with GrowEvolution.Com's Bud Boss LED panels in Several Grow Forums, which is GREAT NEWS for YOU! Before the end of 2013, you are gonna SEE RESULTS up the Ying-Yang SHOWING their WORTH! Bottom Line is.... RESULTS are why you WILL end up with one of THESE LED Panels!
Defoliation is an AWESOME Tool in the Garden! But most people dont realize that the effects vary, depending on WHEN and HOW MUCH you utilyze it. I have Come to a VERY GOOD understanding thru experimentation, mostly trying to slow things down. I am NO LONGER a FAN of Leaves! AGAIN.... Results DONT LIE! WooHoo! I have discussed Defoliation ALOT in other Forums, just Google "MedScientist defoliation" for links.
Here is a post I copy and pasted from another site....
Early in the Michigans MMJ Law, I followed the Defoliation threads on the other Forums. I didnt participate much in the conversations, but took Note, because if you MENTIONED romoving Leaf, you were called a Moron by the "Experienced Growers".
But shortly after switching to Jack's Proffesional Hydroponics + CalcNit, I found myself trying to find ways to LIMIT plant growth because Veg Time became too long with such Vigorous growth. I have spent a few years Experimenting with Defoliation at Every stage of Growth combined with Most other forms of Training.
I think the Main reason people dont TRUST this technique and/or MIS-JUDGE its effectiveness, is Because Defoliation responds DIFFERENTLY, Depending on the percentage of Defoliation AND ALSO the stage of Growth the plant is in at the Time (and of course, its Health).
EVEN THOUGH I am a HUGE FAN of Defoliation, PLEASE DONT PLUCK ME! Hehehe
This Recent Harvested Plant WAS Defoliated CONTINUOUSLY through Veg and 12/12 (Extrememly). The Result was Mature Budz from Top to Bottom, weighting in at 8.6 Ounces at about 36 inches in Diameter (Height and Width). She was grown in a DIY Waterfarm using Turface as the Medium.

(Sorry, dont know how to post as a pic here!)
Experience has PROVEN to ME that Budz in the Light, perform BETTER!
There are MANY Ways that Defoliation can Change your Grow. It helps to Lower transpiration thus lowering your Humidity, Increases Airflow through the area, increased reflection of Light, can stall or limit stretch, less shading to other plants, making MORE room for Bigger or More Plants to INCREASE Light TO Budz ratios, and more!
I have also had Great results in Veg by cutting the Leaves in Half to get similar Results without much stall.
Defoliation is GREAT TOOL to have in your Bag of Tricks!
Peace and LOVE to ALL! past-present-future
