Hard to get good solid info on this tech,sorry funk but I know high times is not accurate with anything,if you advertise with them they say your great in articles,we all know that.i trust WS way more than hightimes,lol.
When I talked to Boulder they told me 5 315s over each 4x8 the to replace 2 1ks for a 20-25% electrical savings,thats a far cry from 3' centers.
I don't dispute anyone's claims because I don't know but their are a ton of different stories out there,just trying to figure it out and high times or YouTube videos are about as good a source as McDonald's commercials touting healthy food!
TOTALLY respect skepticism~! Wait, you mean HT magazine has accepted money to casually half ass shill for bad stonertech?! Since when?!?
:D
Yeah, you get my own skepticism. The Omegatron was their "recommended new technology" or some such nonsense early 2000s. Imagine a bare HPS in the middle of a ferris wheel with plants in "seats" and when they get to bottom, the go through shallow reservoir of nutes. So tech~! Strongly recommended!
We checked one out in person in Emerald Triangle shop with one in window. Cutie working there said not one sold, and the chains broke, stopping ferris wheel, killing plants.
Store in Berkeley had latest stuff, including rooms showing basically fans with ballasts in arms and lights at blade ends. Ran cool, plants in store seemed happy, mixed spectrum, potential.
Except motor turning fan often broke, owner had endless returns, couldnt get comped for crap expensive gear, threw them in garbage as they were returned, went out of business.
LED ... is the lighting of tomorrow*

I don't believe in stonertech, for I am the Frizzle Fry.
