My build on the other hand is made with "affordable" parts as a proof of theory
So how did it grow weed for you @GMO would you say it was on par with other similar led lights that you`ve used now, you know the more costly brands and parts used and such like ?

I gave two led a mate not long back, great big fuckers used on 3 or 4 grows max, but they both needed a cob chip changing, i was tempted to cannaiblise one and fix other up but it looked a daunting task, i tried but fuck that faffing, it got me reyt mad for want of trying at one point, i gave up, anyhow. So mate he`s done that and is smashing it with 600watter it has 4 cree loadsa 5watt bridgelux in mix and takes a uvb cfl in middle of light, but he`s grows great buddage with it. My point being i think theirs some decent cheap led grow coming outa China now, if they work and dont start to pack in after a grow or two cus of shoddy work, rough as fuck some of it in fact :pee: . Anyhow so but yes all the light specs you see and parts used look cock on, i think shoddy workmanship lets Chinese down more than product itself alot of time with certain things, cus stuff looks bang on in every other way and cheap as owt, like £100`s sometimes difference for similars lights you buy other places, jeez im rambling on :bang head: , man im high :roll: , proper gone of your light here mate , fuck a real swerve that one :roll, i think it was the affordable parts bit got me cogs turning. :Stoned: 8-)

Yeah man it does really well the best buds I've grown were under this plus hps combo

In all honesty I think most new led have more power than most of us not supplementing co2 can use. I run my IS at 75% most of the time

So for the cost I do think it really comes down to what you are looking for. If you need to push 1200 ppfd go for the all bells and whistles. If ya looking for 500-750 ppfd evenly across the canopy, there are lots of ways to achieve it

I listened in on the podcast other night @GMO pretty cool stuff, but like fuck could i sign into utube to comment with vpn turned on so i just listened in, but yes the ditch weed auto crap you were on about at one point with great big cabbage like webbed feet looking leafage, i think it may have been a strain called ducksfoot ? I know of one or two who have grown it, why i dread to ask. DP do an auto frisian duck strain which is duckfoot x frisian dew, another shit strain that don`t get you high ive been told by guys who have grown it.
