blinders = assuming all commercial grows use HPS

reality = understanding that while the vast majority of commercial grows still use HPS, the percentage of commercial gardens using LED is real and steadily increasing, ya know, like this thread about hortilux entering the LED market....
ok, thank you, ROLL IT UP ADVERTISER

We are working with a yet to be announced consulting firm that 100% uses LEDs in the system they have developed. They have sold several facilities. Yep HPS is still the most widely adopted technology currently. Is it changing? Yes. Will HPS use decline? Not for 3-5 more yrs but that's about it. Semiconductor prices keep falling and efficacy keeps rising. HPS will still be valuable in greenhouse. Especially colder climates. The biggest thing that led can do that HPS can't is vertical farm racking systems....... This is the future......

hes right, its inevitable

HPS is as efficient as it was 5 years ago
LED is gaining efficiency year over year and is already substantially cheaper to operate.
within a few years it will be cheaper in capital cost as well, and at that point will be the bulk of new installs

margins in the market will eventually tighten to the extent that if youre not in the upper levels of efficiency youre not in business.

I'm under NDA..... As soon as this company announces itself I'll be sure to come back here just for you. I don't call you a liar and I don't appreciate you calling me one. The company is based in Colorado.

I was talking about rack growing styles not lighting. Stop acting like no one can use this forum as intended purposes but you and a few others. The minute someone poses a different view, you and a few others get fucking wrenched.

It's not about respecting a different viewpoint, it's about addressing a clear falsehood. If you make extreme false statements, don't be surprised when you're called out. Simple as that.

Again stop trying to keep people use this forum as its intended purpose. So i didn't believe you when you talked about commercial rack cannabis farming. And now your all fucked up about it?

You keep accusing people of trying to stop you from using this forum for its intended purpose (though no one has tried to stop you from doing anything), but he's all fucked up about it? Come on, man... At least be real about this conversation instead of deflecting to some imagined offense that RIU advertisers are trying to silence you.

Saying people are "fucked up about it" just sounds like you being "fucked up" about not having a leg to stand on in this debate. If you knew you were wrong, why didn't you just acknowledge that like a man instead of looking for something else to argue about?

The biggest thing that led can do that HPS can't is : ! watercooled ! horizontal, diagonal and vertical farm racking systems....... This is the future bongsmilie

- for the simple reason, that sun- and(or) wind-power + a watercooled led light system is all you need.

Planed in the right dimension you receive: light to produce your own veg. or weed / hot water / heating in winter / e- mobility

during the last weeks and months, several medias do report about refugees camps (african people on their way to Europe) in Lybia, to be overcrouded and in terrible conditions, similiar to those german concentration camps, that we know - since world war # 2.
The media only shows you what serves the interests of the Ones in control.
Africans and other people are considered "nothing" by the west.

you seem to be a wise man....can you tell me a better solution, than to take the above mentioned money and use it for reconstruction of the "Eighth Wonder of the World" ?

this could create: millions of jobs for the refugees,
millions of acres of cultivations, - !!! food for Africa !!!
billions and billions of plants are a powerfull
"watercooling against climate change"
Yes, the solution is to leave africa and the rest of the world alone, they can manage their own problems and wealth if given the chance, but there are powerful people who want to steal africa's wealth and enforce the US dollar. The same thing applies with 3rd world countries.

Look at Yemen the world's poorest country, is being attacked and destroyed by one of the richest countries in the world, they even dropped strategic nuclear bombs on them. check you tube it's there.

Every year is worse than the year before , I'm not optimistic about where the world is going.

ok

as a rule commercial growers use HPS, not shitty LEDs
yep, like all white people are nazi racists assholes, right?
I love your quote from the other day, " I have many grow journals".....yet you have never shared a single grow tip, ever.
Fucking pig go eat a donut.
