first closet grow with UFO

[la9]

All you need to do is go to Youtube and watch side by side trials of UFO and HID to see the difference. Don't fall for the hype that people with a personal stake in sales of UFO's might have.

Those guys are relentless aren't they ?

Boy, THC sure is trying very hard to convince us that LED is the best thing since sliced bread. Makes ya wonder huh?

...sulphur plasma technology... there is actually a newer version of this coming out that will be 'cheap'! Can't wait.

Similar in intensity to HID, but don't be fooled by the green in the spectrum, this thing really grows plants! But the older models cost an arm and a leg... sucks.

I think that all of this discussion about the LEDs has gotten completely away form this guys grow. He's using them, he isn't forcing his opinion on any one else (la9), and is trying to do a good first grow. Lets encourage him, and help him, not bag on the lights all day guys. He is waiting on some hps's so he's getting better lights for bloom, leave it at that.

 

[wannabe grower]

He can ram his opinion down your throat if you want, but he isn't gonna go unchecked with his unalterable decision that LED is the best light even. Not even close at present time.

 

[Thundercat]

wannabegrower, he isn't ramming his opinion down anybodys throat. If i read everything correctly he said that he didn't even pay for it, so he was just using it because he had it and could! Your the one that needs to get yourself checked. Its his grow journal. He didn't post a thread called" do you guys think i should buy a UFO" Lay off the guy, if you don't like the leds, don't read the thread!!!

 

[Thundercat]

Lol I didn't even realize you were bagging on T.H.Cammo, obviously its not his journal, I thought you were talking about littlegrower. But that asside T.H.Cammo isn't tryin to say they are the best thing ever, did you even read all his posts? He clearly says in an earlier post, that"In "theory", they should do well - in "fact", they don't!".
He agrees that they DO NOT GROW (mostly bloom)cannabis well! He just doesn't want you guys on here spouting inaccurate information about any of this. LIke

 

[wannabe grower]

So I went back and read "ALL" the posts. You're correct. I am not reading this thread anymore because basically it's a big waste of my time. Thanks

 

[Thundercat]

No problem man!

lumens are how humans percieve light, not plants, its not really applicable because they are casting color spectrums that the plants use more efficiently, not lumens

You are correct, do you want to compare it in LUX instead of Lumens ? Do you really think if we measure it in LUX the plant will think 45 lumens is brighter 50,000.

Hands down the plant thinks the HID lights are Brighter than LED's.

Don't say cheaper since you can get a 150 watt HPS for $20, I think $32 shipped or if you had a couple CFL's laying around the house go ahead and use them. Hope that didn't make it harder to decide again.

Where can I Find 150watt hps for that price?

 

[la9]

You can find the $20 light right here my friend.

Thanks for the info la9. Great site..

No problem, if you need any other help just ask, anytime.

I don't know why no one has picked up a piece of sheet metal and made a U shape for a reflector on that light. That would help direct the light better.

Are you really trying to convince us that a 125 watt CFL will beat a 45 lumen UFO Light ? HAHAHAHAHAHAAHA

actualy YES heres my proof .......my ATA TUNDRA plant day 16-18 from seed ,vegged under a RED 125w enviro , because i broke my 250w blue vegging bulb , notice how tight and bushy this plant is , please show me a ufo grow that produces a better plant in less than 20 days .and this plant would be better vegged under the blue 6400k bulb so its not a totaly fair comparrason but it gives you the idea .

its all to do with PAR and envirolites are 100% correct par for growing plants NON of the light it emmits is wasted .

Hey, I was just joking with you, of course a 125 watt CFL will beat a UFO. The point is anything on the market outperforms the UFO.

A lightning bug flew by one of my plants and flashed its butt, and my plant grew more than it would under LEDs.

ha ha sorry La9 , i tottally missed your sarcasm , i gotta stop smoking this resin lol

oh yeah, check this out, The led's do such a good job and have the right color spectrum dialed in so well that they are selling a UFO with half watt led's instead of the full watt ones. The cool thing is it only costs twice as much as the original and you are getting half the light, how genius is that ?

They figured out the 1 watt LED's they were using was OVERPOWERING the plants genetic code to grow and by cutting the wattage in half the plants grow 10 times better, in fact this new half powered UFO is comparable to a 1000 watt hps. They finally came thru with the technology to beat the 1000 watt HPS, unbelieveable.
