i appreciate all the support you guys have showed me. i felt like a lone gunman for a while LOL. so i harvested this weekend and cleared out the flower tent. i
let the lights run 18hrs like a normal veg cycle but in a empty tent. there is virtually no heat difference between a empty tent and the full tent i had. i noted a 1 degree F drop but thats it. its still averaging 88F- 92F . i already knew this would be the case but im willing to play along
anyways im probably gonna buy a new aircooled HID setup and just stick with what works. i can already tell these buds will not match what a HPS would do, not even close. i will report back here with final weights and pictures. maybe when i get a new setup i will send it to PA but to be honest it isnt a suitable option for me. if this were in the middle of flower and the drivers stopped working or something, i dont have a week or two to send a light somewhere. i think if you dont offer replacements at face value, you obviously dont stand behind your product. so now my only recourse is to send my only lights away which will leave me with none. probably my fault i dont have backups but what can i say right ?
i have been very transparent and honest here. taken pictures, answered all questions. made changes based on suggestions but still nothing resolved the problems. im stuck with these hot panels i already know it. if i do send them to PA , i already know what the outcome will be, a big waste of time and in the end, oh nothing is wrong with them, its your fault because of this or that. mars hydro wont get another dollar out of me i can bet my life on that.
