I have some LA Con beans, but I haven't popped them for whatever reason. I haven't seen much on them myself, but I imagine they are pretty good! Hopefully you got you some bomb there. They look nice and uniform from what I can see. Good job! Did you grow from clones or seed?

I really would appreciate any and all thoughts you have on the lights. Im very interested in switching from hps but leds just arent good enough and i have seen very little about the induction lights. How many are you running in what size room with how much ac?
 
My room is 22x12 and I have 2 of the exact same rooms next to each other, I'm running (9) 800 watt 2700k lights in each room. Each room has its own 18000btu ac/heat pump 100% sealed rooms. Water cooled to waste hydrogen co2 burner. Chhc-4 is my controller and 70 pt dehu and about 8 wall fans. Temps durning the day stay at 88 and at night 79-82. Rh day is 45-50 and night is 50-60 for some reason. Co2 ppm 1500 burner only runs for 70 sec every 80 min. I would not use any other light since I saw what they can do for veg but I have not seen flower yet, we will see soon. I took a big dive with these lights and their not cheap. Hopefully they pay off. These ladies are taller then me

P.s my 4 ton ac can hardly keep up, it runs 24/7, soon I will have to upgrade.

Sweet. Thank you. Do the lights put out much heat? Are they hotter than say ho t5s?? Was wondering if a 12000btu mini would handle a room with 4-6 of those.
 
The heat surprised me too. Nb if you have any questions let me know, ill be keeping everyone updated on how these lights work out

I found a place to get a 400w inductive bulb(2700k) and ballast for a decent price. I thought about seeing what i could do to mount one or two of those in a large sealed reflector and run it air cooled.
 
The company I'm working with is in the process of making an air cooled one and a vertical light, as soon as vertical comes that's what I'm switching to. What kind of a price are you looking at? I feel like I got a great dea on these lights.

From what i remember looking those parlux up they were running about $1000-1100 or the size u are using. Bulb and ballast in a 400w was $299 so i figure i could make a single for less than $450 with a nice reflector but that was just banging around ideas without a lot of research.
