LED Companies w/ LINKS

I'd strongly recomend against buddy. If on a limited budget look for high quality used hps or cmh ballasts and then get a top end new lamp for it. Far better value than any cheap led.
But look into ppfd and par and especially efficacy umol/watt and you'll see what the very best led can do.
I already have a 250w hps with dimmer ballast but can’t put it to 400w as it’s gets to hot lol

Ok, not that anyone here owns a HydroGrow XB Board but if you do, be careful. I decided to use one to germinate my seedlings. Was showing a friend the poor design & explaining why i can not use them for flowering when i got zapped pretty good holding the corner screw between 2 fingers.
Ran down my arm quick.
Also, since purchasing mine i have not been able to return them or get a response about the danger involved.
At first i agreed to keep them (in their boxes) & not use them after being promised the Gen2 to replace them ASAP. Then after my final review it changed to "ill Send you the parts to upgrade the existing Prototypes HydroGrow got me to pay $980 for under the assumption there was nothing wrong with them & lenses will be in soon. Sure, ill be happy to get sucked into the Void my Warranty Trap - Not.
Anyways, should have never bought them until i saw the final results of the spectrum from their previous models . Then would've known better. Also should have listened to the warnings here not to do buss. With HydroGrow Led. FluffinBudder...is all you'll get in flower.
Anyways, just wanted to warn potential consumers about the "Shock Factor" and I'm not talking about just the price, broken cords or inability to flower, lacking intensity needed at min. Even. 6" does not & Will Not allow for spectral blending in a 6 band light BTW.
Guess you're not a true led user till you get beat for a G$ . If HydroGrow decides to make good on the return ill be the first to lyk. As of now, NO RESPONSE.
BUYER BEWARE

Big Perm, I think is banned and did comment on the side by side buds fox tailing with the HGL recently vs the HLG.
One of the guys on his forum did report something about a hot wire being exposed or something like that on the side of the board. Wonder if it's the same spot where you got zapped.

Oh fir sure. I have never witnessed such Blatant lying in my entire life, n I've seen some shit.
Its like a disease or something. Dated a woman like that whrn i was a kid. Wasnt sure if she was always scamming me or she actually believed her own lies.
But here , in this particular case, i know, it knows, we all know, HydroGrow is Full Of Shit selling a POS on purpose w/o any regards for peoples safety, fire hazards, your family, your garden (laughed when i called frantic about the board exploding on my best plant) and certainly NO care about falsifying info. Ect.... list to long.
Guess i never met a real life SCAM Artist before. Just so jaw dropping.

Here is where the hot wire was discussed on page 1 and 2.

No, that's far from it. They are simply discussing the poor design & exposed circuitry that may or may not zap you.
Im talking about simply holding the corner screw (special flat heads) between 2 fingers n having a good zap run down my arm. I would not dare touch that exposed stuff.
Bet if i put my outlet/AC tester on the board it would go bonkers.
How is it there is No FDA or whatever for Manufactured leds? Anyone can just sell anything no matter the danger or false claims??? Wow! Never realized how bad it was out there.
Glad i have stayed with Trusted Supplier.

I only had a vague recollection of the conversation over there and had to go see if I could find it.
Hope the other guys over there are made aware if it is something they don't know about.
About 5 people are doing side by sides over there some are using the XB.

Others bought one or were tricked into the SBS? I say tricked cuz they've no idea what they bit off or probably would not have agreed. Poor guys. Im sure she convinced them i was an Amare Shill who pre-meditated the whole thing. Oh my. Just the thought makes me sick. Especially after putting in mad work to always share the truth here even if it embarrassed me to do so.
Honestly, if HydroGrow would just do the right thing & accept my returns with a full refund, I'd be happy to never mention them again. For God's Sake, they're all in the box unopened. Used one n one blew up.
Wonder if any of the growers doing a SBS with XB's have experience?..
The tactic is for HydroGrow to get in their ear so much that they become convinced long enough to leave a decent review based on what HydroGrow tells you you see. Its weird. Real Jetti Mind Fucking.
