Horticulture lighting group.what is HLG
The new Gravita = Bayer/Scotts, etc..sorry to say.I know i wouldnt replace the customer service and quality from gavita with a chinese super manufacturing company like kingbrite.
Not for that many lamps.
Yep..I only have 2 of the Kingbrites so far. I may just replace 8 more assorted white lights from Atrium, Photon, and older HLG in a soon.He only runs a few lights. The OP runs 28. Thats a lot of trust.
that's why I said for him to go from there.... at 28 lights, I would talk to Vicky and her boss if I went that way, before doing anything.... Cause if a man was smart about it he would cover his azz.....

Scotts Miracle-Gro Continues to Invest Heavily in Cannabis...
Source: Scotts Miracle-Gro presentation It has been a little over a year since Scotts Miracle-Gro (NYSE: SMG) announced its acquisition of General Hydroponics and sister company Vermicrop Organics, marking its entry into serving the cannabis industry. As noted... #Forbes #Gavita #GeneralHydroponicswww.newcannabisventures.com
I will not get into an discussion about what is and what is not good. I was asked for an opinion, and gave it.Then you will better be able to know about their quality. Would you have purchased 28?
Believe me i am not defending HLG pricing.

I ordered two Kingbrites to begin, before I will order more. ALL companies cut corners these days, including USA Light makers. I trust Bayer about as far as I can throw a boulder. I am also a believer in infant mortality in any electronics and allow for such (I have spare drivers and panels on hand)
As for a cash crop..I don't do that; but if I did, I would have spares of everything..including bulbs, ballasts, drivers and LED panels depending what I ran.
I have a huge list of all the crappy Monsanto products that are in many of our foods..GMO crap too, and you are correct..it gets harder and harder to get away from all of it. It has become better to buy from smaller brands then to continue to be fed garbage. (ie Lays Potato Chops=GMO, replaced with Tims a long time ago.) Sure, it's hard, but I won't intentionally patronize a Company like Monsanto, except if there is little choice (ie:GH ph up and down)I know. So is botanicare but its still the same american workers making the stuff.
If i showed you just a list of food products that fall under monsantos corperation you wouldnt likely eat again.
Good ol’Kraft foods is one. Made in Michigan I believe.

This is getting like the old movie, Soylent Green..LOL
Could be closer then we think..LMFAOI dont think we will have to worry about being processed in to monsanto food just yet. Lol.
Very different in every situation ! So many variables and goals ! No matter what you get there will be a learning curve as aqua stated ! Just gotta stock with it good luck manThis has the makings of a bomb. There are so many variables with led. If your going with the kingbright or high end LEDs I would say they are comparable but will have a bit of a learning curve because of the lower leaf temps and other reasons.
For my own health im trying to avoid these conversations and not doing a good job.
If I had a choice it would be a combination of lighting probably LED and CMH together.
Impressive!I have scanned through the thread and seen what people have bought, what others have recommended .... ideas tossed around based on what they have read or heard. What I didn't see is anything about what people have built. Forgive me if I over-looked someone else's build in this thread.
I built this LED light using Chinese 50 watt driverless chips. Simply solder the leads on the pads and assemble on your heatsinks. It pulls over 900 watts from the wall, and the heatsinks remain cool enough for me to touch. It adds almost no extra heat to your grow area.
It's not yet been tested on plants. That will be coming soon ...
I am doing something similar with driver less leds. I have cpu fans n house hold items to make Heatsinks. I’m going to test it in the garage for 6 wks before a tent, but I’ll have 100 watts for 30 bux all day
I do have a Hgl light, pricey but very nice, will be buying a kingbrite too.
Do u have one big room or multiple ones??
My buddy tested his older 600 hps against a 260 hgl and the results were very similar.....
Now he has 6, 260s and no hps lights
I’d buy one and see what it does for yourself
This is my buddy’s setup
