Um, perhaps you neglected to read the thread title

Hi there. I'm new to this forum, and also completely new to growing and to grow lights. Needless to say I have absolutely no idea who you are and nothing against you, so please don't take this personally, but I have to say that a thread like this should be allowed more integrity for the sake of its title and of users like myself, than to have untested and unproven products recommended as if they were tried and tested.

If you really do care about providing newcomers with genuine advice, please stop mentioning a panel in THIS thread that has zero documented grows under its belt and start giving us the benefit of your rich knowledge and experience. I'm sure you could tell us what has already worked for you in the past and instead use a grow journal and/or start a "new light" thread for documenting your 1st experience with new products, at least until it is a completed experience rather than an experiment. The reality appears to be that you're recommending a product you don't even know from experience will flower well. Just doesn't seem very morally correct to do that in this thread.

What grow space (l x w x h) is she working with?
Amare technologies has a program where panels 2-3 are discounted, PLUS, the 4th panel is deeper discounted
I have 2 of their 150s awaiting my new 32 x 32 x 68 tent, picking it up today
Will be starting a thread for them

Sites' not up yet,

This is not your experience. It is sales patter.


EDIT: Just to be clear, no offense is intended!

EH, spammed your email? Nail in the coffin? BML thinks little of me? Gene called me out

1. You offered it to me, then disappeared. I believe A 51 was having email issues at the time. All you ever had to do was say sorry I changed my mind. Without that courtesy, how was I to know? And I have praised you many times for the freebies.

2. Why would they? I have reported on the light (in real time) as agreed, including the things I do not like about it. We all know it was not designed specifically for mj, but IME, it still does a very nice job of flowering

3. I made an error in that I had more dry buds to weigh, and neglected to put them all together, but failed to update my result. Anybody looking at the plant pre-harvest could see that. Gene was intent on covering his ass and was looking hard throughout my thread for where he might not need to apologize. My cheapy scale zeros out once the item is removed

HC, I do have RIU grow threads showing my experience. see my signature for links, or do a site search for my UN

There are several other grow sites, where people are using Amare Tech Solar Spec panels, and are very happy with them

Now that the dirty laundry has been aired, let's get back to helping people chose what to buy by offering viable options, not just A 51 or Apache Tech

Yeah advanced says a 100 will cover a 2x2.5 core. I ordered 8 for a 4x8 flood table and decided to fit 2 more. So I would say 10 fit a 4x8 table. It's not practical getting one big unit because you have to keep it so high. Plus it's easier to to customize to sq. footage.

As a novice, I'd love to see your grow in greater detail if you have the time to either post a few pic's or even set up a journal. No worries if you don't want to of course! When you say "flood table" does that mean you're using NFT? Or is it simply where the runoff drains to? In the pic' it looks like they're in a soil/mix.

Does apache tech have any plans on even a slight price drop in the foreseeable future? I want to try them out badly but not badly enough to pay 2500 for one at600 :p

Im sure this post comes off as borderline trolling but 2500.... seriously?

If electricity is not a factor, but money for the lights is...hps no question really. That is just a business decision...assuming your goal is to create the biggest profit margins with energy not being factored in.

I tell everyone to call them and talk. I bet they love cash, who doesn't.
I'll try and get a new code next time I talk to them.

Greengenes707- what size room and how many watts is that there? Looks badass!
Click to expand...
Thanks
My room is 8'x12' but I only really use ~4x12 for plant canopy. The main 4x8 has two at600's(one 685w and the other 650w...=1335w) and the corner that you don't really see in the pic has my DIY drone over it(372w).
1707w total

It's all in my thread that is in my sig

Seriously, am I the only person who thought....."Why can't I have close friends like Greengenes707?"

Everyone I know looks to me to have the medicine, mind you, I'm not complaining, but damn, that garden looks sweet!
