What’s the deal with the hostility between LED growers and there lights?

LED growers constantly get in pissing matches over who’s light is better.

I find it extremely childish and annoying.

I can’t recall any hardcore (Lol) HPS or CMH growers arguing over who’s lights are better.

thoughts............................?

The dishonesty of much of the led market and the relative education of the buyer is the cause.

Also this is a social media format and will always spur arguments.

Plenty of hid bulb arguments posted over the years too.

Most info posted is personal opinion defending ones investment.

Yeah or my chinese mass produced half price lamp is the best. Everyone should have one. I have done 2 grows with it. It looks so bright! My plants love it. It is of the highest quality (its the only one i have seen) It has given no problems for almost 6 months now!

5 star review!

Look at this youtube video that shows a 10+ year grower using it and having amazing success! It must be the light! He said its great and even gave me a 3% off code!

There have been plenty of bickerings between the HID folks... still is in a few spots. Growers take pride but many think that there are no better growers than they are and they have the "secret" to the perfect outcome... like a car show. There is also an ongoing feud between CMH and MH growers, and between MH users (My 3200k is better than your 3600K, etc). This competition is what drives the arguments.
I think the term that comes to mind is pissing matches. Myself, I'm satisfied in my abilities. I know there are much better growers out there growing much better buds, but I'm happy doing what I'm doing. With age come (some) wisdom.

When I first got into this, the cheapest bulb was $100, back in the late 70s. Today, the prices range from less than $20 to almost $200 for the same size of bulb, so there is still a lot of differing prices and options. I tried the best IMO (Eye Blue Hortilux) and while it had a great spectrum, it didn't have as much output. I didn't see much difference between them as far as quality or yield.

Modern cmh uses a low frequency or “square wave” ballast and a special base. Phillips figured out how to increase par with a hotter gas mixture and a more stable ballast wave but requires the new base to mitigate frequency distortion for the highest par. And of course the different ballast.
