I have always been a grower, since my youth and have grown crops in all systems, in soil outdoors, hydro and aero, and the one that best suits my needs is indoor cultivation. The old sodium halide lighting systems have always had very big drawbacks, high temperatures and high energy consumption, these problems ended when led lighting came to the market. At this point, all growers who use led lighting to grow crops, use the same Chinese lamps with Samsung lm301B or H led with some red reinforcement, thinking of obtaining low power consumption, high efficiency and a large flow of photons. PPF without taking into account several much more important points. China is the most polluting country on the planet along with India, Chinese companies do not respect the rights of workers, they bombard us with propaganda of Mars, Betsva, Xyo lamps and other garbage thinking that it is the best in terms of lighting because they are cheap. .. and we are wrong, these lamps will be very expensive.

Not all of us use the same Chinese knock-offs for indoor growing.

True, there were some who were initially bamboozled by the Mars Hydro's or the Spider Farmer's or, in my specific case, the Viparspectra's when we restarted our indoor cultivation efforts. But after a few "MEH" crops, some of us have realized the error of our ways and have steered clear of those cheap imitations when we upgraded.

No. They dont.
I like some blue in mine, and boards aren't best in all spaces. Strips and cobs have their place, as well as HID
