faster growth and more fruits or flowers every time. And no nutrient deficiencies.

Which lines up also with the article I linked on photobiology. Red more shoots and roots... also would include the budding... but more stretch and a touch less dense I would assume. More blue tighter buds, more leaf growth...shorter internodes... my sleepless super has me wondering if we have the spectrums backwards and should run HPS through veg and stretch then switch to MH?

Or maybe I'm just in a tired state of delirium

Added to this I received a free Mars light in return for some pics - however they sent me a light with Samsung diodes and meanwell driver to test when in reality that’s not what they were selling ! I tried to purchase another one but could not . Mars told me it was old stock - I call bs I think they new they sent me a superior light to document ?

If that's true, then that is under-handed stuff. I also have no reason to doubt you. I don't exactly see Mars offering superior products. I only see a company with superior marketing skills trying to sell a lesser product.

We’ve covered a lot of the disreputable companies. And the proponents on Gavita have given there advertisements.

Is that are we out of options for good LEDs? Just one company? What about mammoth or viperspectra?

I’m not as anal as some but seems there’s a few quality lights - hlg,gavita,fluency,timber- much like cars, motorcycles ,tools, and beer I think some are just brand loyal - the base of us marketing IMO

So the argument is really about spider and mars and other predatory companies peddling their snake oil lights. Gotcha.

Let me take a stab at that... because you keep Americans employed... now it may not seem like at this moment in time that's important but when that place of business closes due to loss of sale to foreign markets... all of those ppl are looking for more work and who's jobs are they competing for? Yours and mine if I was American... what does that do to wages? Well so many ppl want the job and as demands for workers goes down companies take advantage to pay less to those still employed and the rich get richer and the poor and middle class (almost gone) get poorer and rely more on government and companies who take advantage.... so if your not gonna buy American then as a Canadian I will politely ask you to buy Canadian and say sorry if this offends anyone.

Canada went full-on legal, as to their products there are many audiophile companies building speakers & receivers. I agree, wages are the key to profit for the CEO's & board members.

The real argument is whether or not you have ten grand to spend on equipment or not.

Again my uneducated opinion buds are more dense under my white/blue Mars light than the kingbrites which have way more red

That seems silly we‘re all in the same sinking ship. Someone a few posts back had it right about disenfranchising wages to boost corporate profits.

The real answer is ... you don't. Especially me .... I'm a daily smoker, but surprisingly not really a heavy consumer considering I typically only smoke an ounce a month. With that said, why would I want to spend that much? It would take a long time for my "RTOI" at that price.

Quite frankly speaking, it would be foolish for most of us to spend 10K for grow room setup, regardless of credit. Most of us are hobby growers ....
