No, it's being pedantic.
DrDick had an issue with what I said here. I'd just like to point it out again as I'm not sure why you're trying so hard to have the last say.
I didn't suggest you said that, so I'm not sure why you're getting defensive?
Ok. I'm not sure what to say. I agree with you about CMH being fantastic. We just don't seem to see eye to eye in terms of the simple, measurable, objective fact that LEDs put out more light relative to heat than any other lighting.
I'm out, I respect what you do playing devil's advocate, but taking it so tangental and trying to set up logical fallacies to support your argument isn't the way to go about it.
I have quoted no facts, given no figures, spoken nothing of tangible results.
I knew as soon as you began your quest against me I would have been wasting every breath of serious discussion I tried to have with you.
You have told me that without any shadow of a doubt that 1000w of LED will put out more light(I am going to assume we are talking umol here) than an HPS. I disagree not with the actual fact you can indeed do this (and in most cases will), just that you have left much open ground.
1000w of good COB build or Quantum Board vs 1000w of basic HPS, yes my money is on the LED. But 1000w of cheap nasty low quality LED panel vs 1000w of Phillips de HPS, sorry I would bet on the HPS all day long. And this is and was from the very beginning my only point.
And there is nothing pedantic about it, calling a statement pedantic or silly or calling people names because you don't like its direction just looses the topic, looses respect on all sides..
Sorry but now I have just lost this topic, and its a large part of the reason my grow room is now HID and not LED. Because every time I came here to ask the experts about anything to do with LED I just got called out, chewed out, and genuinely called names.
I came into the LED forum earlier in the year to ask if anyone had some good results with QB's and could show me a few diaires, and the same thing happened. NEGATIVE ALL THE WAY, nobody even stopped to ask weather I was actually liking the QB tech.
Maybe if LED users go rid of the anger towards their haters they would stop being haters themselves. I just want to grow some weed.
Eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.
Night all. Maybe I can have an opinion respected in a few months when I have a QB or two. Unitl then I will leave you good people to it.
GV.
