I know some think this is trolling but its simply a current issue and i only use general so im going to pop up on such stuff.

Trolling dosent really happen much, wait till some one trolls your posts from years ago and brings up everything your saying different now or all your old fails and how lame you were when you hit this site claiming 30 years experience but couldnt hit a gpw... I can troll but most of us know it will just fuck the site up again :-)
I'd like to see you hit a gpw running 2kw. My bet is your under .5

Everyone knows its easy to hit a high ratio in a tiny area, it's nothing to brag on

I'm giving a like above because you sound relaxed at the moment.
Is that what has you mad? What you are stating above?
You are not directing your anger well IMO.
Your anger is sometimes being directed at the wrong people.
Stay focused on the ones that deserve your anger.
There are people that really do like you, you just seem triggered.
MMG asked why you were angry in the other thread. It's a legitimate question.
You seem triggered and it happens to everybody.

huh
Ppfd and par are in no way the golden rule for light, the sooner growers get this the sooner we all get along.

Lumens are a better scale imo, say the word ppfd and you have 7 years of failed led claims to prove it.

Im guess what im saying is no one has figured out perfect spectrum for plants yet so ppfd is just your best guess and is even more inaccurate when comparing led to hps.

The lumen lives on :-)

uh....

what?!?!?!
lol. lumens.....literally are rated based on visual light seen......PAR......specifically caters to photosynthesis and how much of the spectrum is ACTUALLY usable to the plant...... where in any professional documentation have you found them claim Lumens are more relevant than par or ppfd....

Just calm down, I can hit a gpw using almost every lighting out there, including HPS and LEDs.
I was talking to kingrow1 not you. I dont care what you can do.

Kingrow is a micro grower who constantly shittalks larger growers. It's a proven fact it's easier to hit a high ratio in small cabs than it is in rooms.

Sure, but look what it's got you into? A troll contest. I'm saying this because I like you from previous conversations but please don't go down the troll wormhole.

Well ty for that, the context here is that none of this is serious.
Kingrow is trolling people and people are trolling him back. I strictly use hps, and while in kingrow threads I'll tell him to use a Mars hydro. He knows this. He knows I agree with 90% of what he says.
I'm pretty much just fuckin with him because I'm board an he knows it from back in another thread we were trying to help a guy an I was finally like, fuck it i quit I'm flipping sides burple rocks!

Just bored is all haha

Dont worry, outside of kingrow threads I'll still try not to troll TOO hard :) I generally try to be kind unless I feel theres been shots fired but at the end of the day I'm just passing time till the lights come on ya feel?

OP hasn't been back on since the day he started this thread or his other troll threads.
That's how it goes with most short term accounts that talk a ton of shit to loads of people and eventually realize they were wrong.
Pretty easy to just start a new account an pretend it never happened.

I'm still not 100% convinced he wasnt part of a shill campaign but it doesn't matter.
When I first bought a that 600 true watt burple I was really pumped, it was when it like came out right around 7-8 years ago and wasn't totally proven to be junk. I def advocated it and regret some of my claims. Thankfully I was told by enough people to give my hps another shot, and by someone, I forget who now, but I'll never forget the words... "when people spend a lot of money on something they have a lot invested in it being as good as they want it to be and may ignore the reality" my next run with hps smashed it. After that I'd use it as supplemental light and believe that's a great use for burple, most of my best buds were actually burple/hps combo grows. Then that light was stolen =*(

I'm def interested in QBs, I figure they will he great, or I'll find a way to make them great as part of a combo or something.

BINGO!

Ya'all gotta stop thinking that GPW is a way to measure anything!

Growing styles can destroy GPW...Can you say SOG? Now SOG is a great style to use COBB's on! Short plant that will respond to the light nicely.

You grow tall plants. You use HID.....

I couldn't agree more. I prefer the cost of production per lb over the gpw more.
Right now my production cost me around $100 per lb. produced. That includes lighting, environmental control and nutrient costs. Everything but my labor.

LED for starts and seedlings, then outside for that high pressure star in the sky (it's on it's own timer, its great).

This year I'm using LED indoors to finish in September, however. Figure sacrificing a little yield is better than losing out in the budrot battle.

My first grow with Chinese leds 18 week veg growing just fine
Enjoy it.
I've said 3848856939274 times all lights grow plants, some just it a lot better than others though. Having owned 3 or 4 differant kinds of LEDs I learned first hard that burples are pretty bad on their own, and none of the claims made by the makers hold water.

Why does ever noob in the world think if the light keeps the plant alive its proof it's a good product/investment?
Our standards are much higher than simply "working" we are after whats the best.
Hps is the champ. If must perform better watt for watt (burples dont) or be cheaper
(Burples arnt)

The only LEDs that are strong competition for the throne are the Samsung strips or quantum boards. But they have a LONG way to go as far as cost. And the tech is changing so fast theres very little point investing now when in a year it will be 2x as good.
 
Enjoy it.

They work just fine for me and other growers and they are cheaper than hps and constantly beat t5s but different strokes 4 different folks
