The luxx stuff looks pretty good. I am running the Gavita's and the Fluence Syders 2I. I just finished a run with the Fluence Gear and I think my future light purchases are going to be Fluence. IMO they are about 5 to 10 percent better than the Gavita's which are good as well.

Hell yeah the fluance lights seem to be one of the hottest lights out!, the dude at the store was telling me he was running a gavita next to the luxx and they both were preforming great Very similar.. I guess the new luxx version was the one I got and it’s a straight frame and the older model (same light just older) is the exact light expect it’s foldable.. I actually preferred to get a foldable light just for storage reasons and Incase I ever wanted to do side lighting.. but nobody had the foldable ones in stock so it’s the straight frame for now.. lol

Miked1988 you should get some good results with the Luxx. I thought I saw the foldable version before myself. Good Luck with your grow. Just a heads up, keep an eye out for Cal Mag Issues with these lights.

I have found most of the folks at the Hydro Stores have little or no experience with the said LED's. If you are asking them for advise please do the same as with someone online and make sure they have used the light and they are not sponsored with the said light.
Someone mentioned JB earlier in this thread, they like other growers are sponsored by companies so just be aware of that. Luxx and Athena are mentioned all the time by JB. Pretty sure they get gear from both for FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Burnz, there is not way in the world I would run Spider Farmer LED's. I will provide my history to date with Chinese LED's.
#1. Mar Hydro Reflector Series, Purble. Thing was a tank ran it for a year and a half with no issues. In fairness, I only veg'd plants with it.
#2. Mar Hydro TS1000's, well those sure were a gem. Two of them took a dump within a month of each other. That was after 6 months of use.
#3. Bestva, just last week they hit me up to change my review for about the 10th time and they would give me a credit and I could keep the light. Not going to happen, people need to be educated that their product is a POS.
#4. Growers Choice ROI-680, well those cost me a grow. They went down the road as well.
As you can see my experience with Chinese LED's has been anything but good. Do they work yes, but for how long and with my luck they will take a dump at week 6 of flower.

One Drop I wish you the best of luck with the Spider Farmer lights. I just have to say that being a sponsored grower it changes the way I am forced to see your comments about lighting in the future. I mean no ill regards towards you as a person or a grower. I just have to consider that you received the product for free and there is an obligation to provide positive customer feed back.

But for what it’s worth, I grew a half pound under 240w last grow. No complaints with my Chinese board. I’ll double that this grow.

One drop just so you know, I reviewed Spider Farmers PPFD chart and I called it to the attention of the mods on this site. I also sent an IM to Spider Farmer and copied some of the mods on this site. Their response was to take down the PPFD chart on the SF1000 and remove the average PPDF from the balance of their lines charts. My question to you is pretty simple, if they are going to carry out business in this manner why would I want to even consider purchasing their products that have misleading information from the get go?

How long did you flower the plant?
I assume you count the first day of 12/12 lighting as the first day as well.

Didn’t know there was any other way to count? 73 days. They weren’t finished any sooner.
