from your picture it looks like your HPS is giving you more "sugar". it will be interesting to see the results of the "smoke test"

Half wit, you are without a clue. Youre drooling like a crazed skunk.
Im not a grammar nazi at all. Im simply pointing out that a poster who struggles with spelling, syntax and coherence is probably going to be a failure with physics and biology. Youve proved me right!
I have built a diy that provides ~1100ppfd in my garden. It is composed of cxb3590 and vero29s. It has a 730 nm pontoon and a uvb t5. On the other hand you are recommending chinese trash. Youre illiterate, inexperienced and exposing your ignorance.

So essentially your message is "well i failed at making use of the most efficient lighting on the market and I'm spreading the word"
Youre suggesting t5's! lol like <20% efficiency? Maybe it's your lack of gardening skills, failure to do research, closed mindedness, or simple dullness? Why blame technology?

As of right now the trichomes under the platinum are insane. The platinum is doing as well or better than the hps. The kind is garbage

Lets see a pic.
Among DIY and experienced LED growers platinum led has a reputation as an overpriced, conniving, disreputable reseller of Chinese made, dated 3rd rate gear

Not denying the general consensus at all nor am I trying to convince anyone to buy them. Trust me I wish I would have dug deeper before I assumed the led market was like most things and you get what you pay for. But sometimes when you think you've dug deep enough you need to dig a little deeper. Had I known what I know now I would have built a stupid ridiculously powerful led setup myself.

Same. My first light was a mars 900. I grew some pretty nice flowers with it.
As soon as i learned the deal with cobs, from Supra, i upgraded.
When you get around to building your own it will be cheaper and more efficient. so little harm done.
Yea I got caught it up in the marketing ploy, and I had a large area to fill, I've only filled part of the room so far so here very quickly I'm gonna be doing the rest. pretty sure I'm gonna go the diy route it's just damn all the info can be nauseating!! If anyone has some large scale ( around 400 sq ft) diy tips they would be willing the share im all ears

i agree with to each his or her own,,, if u like LED,HPS,MH,T5,COMPACT FLOUROS, CMH WHATEVER,,, growers grow and that is GREAT.. so long as u love what u do...
i have grown for 28 years now,,used hps for 25 years,, recently switched to ceramics and am very happy,,HOWEVER im very interested in saving money on electric i cut my bill in half going from hps to ceramics.. if i can cut my bill by going LED and keep my yields and potency,,, its apealling i just need to be SURE its going to work before i invest.. i already have 7 hps hoods n ballasts being unused,, id hate to add 4 brand new ceramic's to the unused pile,,just to TRY with LED.. GROW WELL AND BE WELL TO ALL!!!!
