Just wanted to know you paid for your order with them as I don't see the payment issues going across the top of the page anymoreWell, you guys got me all pumped up about Karma's gear. So, i finally put in an order for some. I'm gonna try out a pack of the Ghostrider v2.0 first. I really wanted to try the whiteOG first, But they out on the tude.
If the whiteOG is anything like whitefire, it's gonna be a must have for me.
I'm trying out some more of HSO's gear also. I split it up into 2 orders so I can get 2 freebie blueberry HB's instead of one.

my hps has done me great. I am just showing there are options to consider.
Heat being a huge issue for most. High electric bills running ac's and more cfm fans ect. If I had to jsut get 1 light and 1 only it would be fluorescent now. Make your own choices all. It took me 3 months of watching RM3 grow with his to convince me. I hope this answers questions. and you get the light you want since you have to use it.

I dont want anyone to take me bad DC.. 
I KNOW flouro can grow great stuff. This is under 220w of of mixed spectrum T-5 HO. pics are from journal here in 2009.. LOL . During that time I kept the flouro as head stash.
2009 https://www.rollitup.org/t/someguys-perpetual-parabolic-scrog-cabinet-grow-trying-to-actually-keep-a-journal.192292/
My point was this. Given the amount of Lumen per watt available with high powered LED. ANY Grower here in the 600 could probably do just as good than they currently do and probably better.
Im not challenging anyone or handing out lights.. LOL Of course, I also dont mail "things" or want "things" mailed to me..
What I am doing is telling folks here that I highly recommend giving DIY COB LED a try. Think of them as your t-5 ho flouros but on steroids. I think many here could get more yield with less monthly power consumption. My goal is to pass on the trial and error I have endured to all the folks here in the 600.
So happy growing you all! no matter how many watts you use or what kind of source!
Also... just so Im clear. I have never hit 1gpw ever. with any light. I think its because I run too much variety... I think I may come close to that goal very soon though!.

Yup, it works now. Just gotta use gift card option if you wanna use credit or debit. Here's the email response they sent me:

enlighten us who don't know about LED's.
I've seen a lot of advertizing from Diamond Lights lately with 10 watt Cree chipswell... If they are giving you them to test out why not right?
they are a little pricey but the "poop" sheet on them looks good, have you seen them
if so your opinion.

Thanks. I don't want you guys to miss the boat. I am in lighting for stage. My terminal degree is in it. Lighting is my life or has been for a good portion of it. Its only been since 2008 that I started gardening. I have tried lots of different lighting.. When I finally saw leds producing top results I had to try for myself. I figured I have tried all the rest... why not take a risk and try the new tech right?
There is no right or wrong way for the most part. There is only different ways to reach the same end. some are more efficient than others

I have not seen it. In general I think cob based chips will kick the shit out of the smaller chips. (Some cobs can be driven at 100w and not cap out, I run each of mine at 50w) GreenGenes is showing that his DIY cobs are on par w his apache at600 if not better. If your looking for a commercial panel give it some time. If not into DIY you can always find friends with those skills?

@giggles26 Those are small diodes. Im sure they would work but I would question the efficiency etc.. see my above post to oldman.. LOL
Plus there isnt even a data sheet. just a spectral graph that looks heavy red/blue
and Whoa!! 1800$ for 250w with small diodes. gotta be kidding me. LOL
I was recently asked cost for me to build 3 bars with 4cobs each at 50w per piece, 600w total. I quoted around 500$ per bar...
but...
I guess if they are giving them to you then what they hey...

I saw one of these the last time I was shooting the shit with the guys at the shop. They were all excited to show it to me and wouldnt tell me anything other than they will be displaying a new led they got. Saw the case and instantly knew it was a diamond platinum series (the diamonds on the housing is a dead giveaway guys lol) and that it didnt seem like a bad panel but thought it was way pricey for the coverage even though it does have some solid innards.I've seen a lot of advertizing from Diamond Lights lately with 10 watt Cree chips

Alll in all the tech is cool, price tag not so much lol.

Yea fuck the price. I might just get some help and plans from SG and mock something up.
