Anybody gotten response from email since everything went down.. Ive got a cpl shipping notices but not a single fukn reply to my messages. Ive sent a couple emails a week and half ago and a couple more a couple days ago.

I sent a MO in for 2 orders and they only sent me one pack. I havent gotten a single response outside of the couple mass emails from the beginning of this fiasco. They always used to respond to emails quick but this is some real life bullshit.. Ive got 3 packs that they arent responding to me about and a shipping notice from last friday that hasnt even gotten a 1st scan yet.

Ive been nothing but patient but my patience is running thin from the lack of response

@Gu~ Wtf happened to the customer service bruh.. Im missin fuckin packs.. dont appreciate the radio silence
Thanks for this post. I was thinking of putting in an order. I wonder if theyre dealing with legal issues and whatnot.

Based on what I have seen I think everything is cool.
Ya everything is cool and I did receive 1/4 of my order safely..

Everything looked great packaging/label wise and I hope theyre able to get back to priority shipping soon.. My only problem was there was a mistake and ZERO communication. Im confident Ill be able to work things out, just venting frustration

More points of light, lesser voltage, more efficient and better coverage. If you have the time and money def the way to go. That's what I did.

Only premade fixtures id consider are quatum boards. IMO COBs will always be better when designed for your room and DIY.
This is true for the most part aside from custom chips the company builds themselves and have designed from the ground up, warranty, and the way light is angled covers perfectly, but have fun breaking down your 10k grow in less than 24 hours with DIY....Hell, even a house grow would be ridiculous how can you pack that shit up and move it on your own in a timely manner out of a house? This is why we buy what we buy not to mention time is money. Takes me 22 hours to break down and get the fuck out and I would recommend everyone after they set up a room to put it to a stop watch and break it down so reality can set in.

Super easy to take down,can also disconnect 2 drivers from the setup and only use a section of the array if I want.hard to do that with a premade fixture.
Can also bring one corner down or up to compensate for shorter plants so the light distance is closer to some than others.look at this footprint,straight gangster 1500 watts over a 4x10

For me it was the bulkiness. What do you put them in when carrying them out of where your growing? The lights I bought are like 30 inches x 30 inches~. I can stack six in a box and takem out on a hand cart.

DIY is definitely a nice money saver, but it just seemed to be in short way too bulky and no warranty or anything. For me that was far more important in the decision making process than anything else. Both are have really good benefits and clearly both can grow amazing pot, but for most of the world where it is still illegal I just think the other seems the way to go.

40.. I agree with most what you post (one of the few on here :bigjoint:) but this one doesn't really make a whole lotta sense to me.. maybe it does and Im jus a lil too bongsmilie

Those were some bad ass lights for plug-n-play tho.. Personally Ive always been one for more points of light the better.. but for a single lamp its the cats pajamas

I'm one of the ones that got there order siezed and I'm still waiting for a response from them. Last time I had any contact with them was Ally when I first let them know about the order getting nicked. That was well over 2 weeks ago and I've had nothing but silence on there end. Gotta say I'm really disappointed in GP. I always heard how great their customer service was, but I'm definitely not seeing it.

Look at all the different diy models. They are all large like 4x4 4x8 so that they can get the optimal footprint because the cobs aren't angled and LED light is incredibly direct. What do you put them in so they can't be seen when carrying them out to a uhaul or whatever you are using to get out of a bad situation? I just couldn't imagine moving a 10-20k watt grow and it being manageable with the DIY. I went with plug n play knowing it would cost more but there were other benefits as well.

There is a guy that builds awesome ones on IC I almost went with, but I just couldn't figure out a way to get them around easy by my self. I have had to break down quickly before so everything I bring in my grow room I really think through as far as being easily mobile AND concealable. IE my reservoirs are no longer 50 gallon drums. I use 50 gallon collapsible plastic reservoirs that you can fit 4 of in a large rubber maid. I try to make sure everything can fit in a rubbermaid or an easy to move self built box that can fit on a moving hand cart. If I can't easily lift, move, or takes too long to break down it doesn't become part of my grow.

I know those aren't issues for everyone but DIY just wasn't for me. All the lights fit a purpose just like all grow methods are worthy and have a purpose whether its hydro, soil, or coco.

I agree 100% I work for a sign company. Like high rise signs n stuff. We do led changeovers all kinds of stuff. We do our metal fab work. I used thick walled extruded aluminum tubing. Cut three sides. Every inch. Its 2x2 tubing. I used heat sink tape. And mounted my strips on the uncut side. Then bought little 45mm x 45mm PC fans and mounted them in one end. They blow through the tube. Keeps the leds super cool. I run 4 channels for lighting. One is all off, one for 3000k Samsung single rows, one for Samsung 2700k double rows, and one for the custom reds I had made. Then I use another 4 channel controller for my fans,humidifier, ect.

You can kinda see how cut them.
I added the dual rows after.

Love the build. I was going to go with strips for my last build but the ones I wanted were continually out of stock. So I ended building a second set of QBs in the 4k spectrum. Going to add some deep red and uvb diodes one I'm done with this grow

Dude, you made my life so much easier. Converted to super Soil and autopots. I have to thank you for that.

As for the DIY lights, I see your point about the size of the cobs. My QB lights are 24 x 30, the light is about 3 inches h high (1/4 plate and the thickness of the driver) and covers a 4x4 footprint. HLG has great customer service as well. But again, it's preference and whatever works best for your needs.

That ain't no shit.
Autocorrect is litterly teaching me how to spell words incorrectly. Making me think I have them wrong by "autocorrecting", some of the time the autocorrect takes a correct word and replaces it with a word that dont even exist :wall:
Autocorrect hates me. Have to constantly keep fighting it cause sometimes it will autocorrect in English and sometimes in Spanish...:shock:

Edit: and it will f@ck up in both languages

my new favorite ebay special ph pen....88J3.... lights up green too! ordered 2... 35$ a piece, other ones bout the same. lasts long, easy to recalibrate. just no light.
Mine went out last night and had to get a new one, found one for 7 bucks, ended up getting two since they always go out after a few months.
