Total BS Dutch. Man up and take responsibilities. To me it's now obvious that you posted this to antagonize people and your statement about having a little joke with the "cheapos", which is really saying at this section's expense, proves it, if your action of starting a new thread* in some lame attempt to try to gloat didn't already. Sorry someone called you a POS but it wasn't me. And I'm sorry you are too short-minded to understand the consequences of your actions.
And yes it's easy to get lost in jargon but all anyone has to do is ask. And stats are nothing more than a guide, it's what goes on in the tent. But what is nice bud? 6 to one, half-a-dozen to another.
Ignorance is bliss so live in bliss.
*GrowUrOwnDank he didn't need to start a new thread in this section after starting other threads in this and other sections to show off his bud. That's why it's not pride, it's being boastful. He could of posted in the LED Users Unite sticky like some of us do when we're feeling "prideful" but he felt that his accomplishment needed a new thread. That's not pride. But whatever I'm gone.
Easy now. Not trying to antagonize anyone. I think my Original post is funny. It makes me laugh. When I first bought my light and came here to talk about it I was first accused of being a salesman. Next I was told what a piece of sh** I bought to the point of having buyers remorse for a month while I veg'd. I am completely satisfied with my grow. Ya maybe it could have more beef to it. I don't grow to sell it. It's all going to myself. I don't need about a pound. The light didn't break, no diodes blew, it's quiet.
This post is for my fellow cheap LED peeps. I literally cannot afford an Area 51. I have 0 interest in DIY. I'm on the record telling people If they can afford an Area 51 to buy it.
I also put it out there that if anyone wants to contribute to a nice light, I would test it out.
The whole thing is tongue in cheek and meant to get a quick small chuckle for my fellow cheap-o's. People can talk down my buds all they want, I shall sit on my couch and love life while I vape em.
It's a joke! Everyone keep calm!
You should try a 400W HPS lamp, and properly feeding your plant and see just how much better the results could be.
i cant run hps in my closet. too hot and im not running AC to keep my closet cool.I actually don't have any HPS lamps anymore. I have slightly better. He has slightly worse, but more expensive.

Just because you have a different situation, doesn't mean your light will suddenly become more efficient than HPS.
Your light is inefficient. That means it generates a fuck ton of heat..... You don't want heat, right? so get an HPS. It generates less heat per watt of light emitted.
Yup.. Yup....
exactly the point of my original post. bury the light, don't mention itll grow nice bud. as for the shot at my nutes...its the second grow of my life, ill get it fine tuned. kinda proves my point even more. I messed up along the way in more than 1 area. imagine what someone who knows what they are doing could do.Just because you have a different situation, doesn't mean your light will suddenly become more efficient than HPS.
