looking at the price will put you off a FERRARI pretty quickly until you look at what your getting( and i don't mean the hype) too!
look at the spectrum, research what real people are actually getting,out of them, look at the operating costs over the 3year life of the bulbs, and the quality produced.
hey most growers are not hitting big numbers? Running which setup? please keep it APPLES TO APPLES. BLI is not building CMH lights it is a different technology completely. you want more? How about lowering or eliminating your need for air conditioning? how about not needing a 9 foot or higher ceiling? How about getting what you pay for several times over during the life span of the bulb?
If that is not enough ammo to make you actually look at this as an alternative to the poor spectrum offered by most lights, that produce way more heat, that you have to manage or invest other dollars into managing,....and getting to replace your $100 plus bulbs twice a year to keep them optimal- over the three years your replacement bulb costs will give you a free light!
i guess i'll ask it this way, would you piece together a FERRARI, from available aftermarket parts and expect it to produce like the real thing?,.....if so 'ENZO wants to talk to you about buying a bridge he has.
Although i am not knocking CMH down but as a stand alone fixture i am not seeing the numbers here is a copy n paste remember this is 630 watts of CMH and 20 plants to only get .67 GPW or 427 grams if a person used for instance 600 watt HPS and got them numbers it would equate to he fucked up big timeHey Dr. Fever i love your handle, and hope your not offended i certainly do not mean any harm just joking around a little,......While being deadly serious about what these lights can do.
On Saturday i will be doing a walk thru in a very large grow that has been converted to the BLI built systems,.......PLEASE help me to ask any and all questions of someone that actually uses them and crushes it. If you want to know anything please ask me here so i can ask the growers and the gentlemen at BLI face to face. I learn much more looking out for the interests of others than i could ever learn looking out only for my own.............So Ask me and i'll ask BOTH sources, and report back.
With that said people are suggesting lowering the need for as you say air conditioning ??? well i look at ventilation 101 if you plan to grow indoor then ventilation is part of the game anyways here is a copy n paste from another site
remember 630 watts of CMH used yields .67 terrible i think the average good grower could so better numbers with T5' Ho's here is a pic of a T5 ho grow 432 watts achieving well over 1 gram per watt in a sense destroyed CMH numbers
Thought I share some numbers from my multi kelvin runs. My CavemanOG pulled through better than expected. Considering the pH issue early on.
15 plants in 2 gallon grow bags with about 2x 315w per 2x4 tray got me 427g. Almost a full # IMO terrible numbers
and here is a T5 grow TBO 1.67 GPW and 2 plants :)
