Andy, I don't know that the transsexual issue will be separated from the business practices issue, but I sincerely hope it will be in the future. I agree with you, not only is it not salient but it's essentially engendering more hatred towards others, most of whom are likely absolutely NOT deserving.
That said, I understand it's extremely expensive, and I'm not talking about just the surgery, either. The psychological testing and therapy,
that's where it probably starts to really ring up (outside the surgery itself). Again though, not salient and nothing to do with what's happening here.
I'm simply mentioning the fact that there have been plenty of grow threads with these lights. Again, were those posters being fraudulent? Or is this post going to just get more stupid, childish replies that have nothing to do with the topic...
If there are a bunch more grow threads showing bad results, I'd like to see them too. I'm just saying, I haven't, and instead of helping, I get insulted for no good reason.
Are you asking me more questions because you actually want the answers, or what? I've answered your questions and stand by my answers.
Have I insulted you? If so, how so? By stating my opinion and holding firm? How are my replies childish?
I will not make any claims about anyone else's grows
except to politely decline the offer of that bud. I also stand firm in the assertion that if someone fails growing well using LEDs but has had previous successes under their belt when using other lighting then we cannot simply dismiss the grower as having poor skills.
i can understand the shitstorm and all, but all the jibes and slamming about gender change makes some folks look like prejudiced narrow minded bigots.
Agreed, but this natural-born female really, SERIOUSLY resented the fact that she was essentially being painted with the same brush because LEDThing was presenting itself as female. It's a man's world and women already have an uphill battle,
especially in the business world, as it is.
also, for the sake of objectivity, if you cant grow good plants under good quality LED's then you should blame your skills and not the lights. ive grown under just about everything, LED, HPS, Tubes, cfl - and LED's, watt for watt used, work just fine.
Ah, now
there is the rub. That's what I've read most often by the LED-advocates if someone has trouble--it's
their growing skills that are called into question. Yet, the same person can grow just fine using HIDs. That makes the argument that it's the grower very, very disingenuous and belies the truth.
and, just saying, but ive never seen anyone claim to have paid for a light from HG and not recieved it? anyone??
Then you should do a little more reading. Because it's much worse than just not receiving a light.
