Fucking hilarious. My first shot at growing an auto was some freak mutant plant that for the longest time lost two leaves for every two it gained (precisely, like clockwork - always two and two, always at the same intervals). The wife wouldn't let me toss it, so I let it go. It eventually...

Is your light running at max? If so, then hot damn, that's a shit-ton of light. Looking good though!

No. That's old-fashioned thinking that needs to be abandoned. Many here now grow under 3000k-3500k from seed-to-harvest. Some do like to have a separate veg area running 4000k-5000k, but it really isn't necessary. Plenty of blue in - for example - LM561C 3000k; give your plants the proper amount...

Of course Platinum told you their product is optimal - they're trying to sell it to you. With a couple of exceptions (like Purpsmagurps), the growers here who have had first-hand experience with them are telling you they're not worth it. Yes, they'll grow weed, but you'll get better results with...

Immaturity generally is.

Have to say that I think it would have been more compelling as an enhanced-spectrum strip, instead of this tight cluster of diodes in a small footprint.

I see no reason to waste words on these yahoos who've never grown under COBs/QBs/strips, yet act like they actually know what they're talking about. Childish behavior not deserving of attention. Fuck 'em.

No worries, brother. People on both sides of the argument can get a little silly. It's a lot of "my team" vs "your team" bullshit.

He's willing to go COB too (at least he's said so in other threads). He just wants a pre-built 4x4 solution from a UK-based company.

That'll do just fine. Overpriced, but a solid light nonetheless.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: if you need the heat, just run HID. If you don't need the heat, you're only wasting money (and energy) by refusing to switch to LED. Pretty damn simple.

I suggest the troll no longer be fed.

Platinum, Advanced, Kind, Viparspectra, Roleadro, Mars Hydro, Black Dog... They're all a waste of your money, man. Most of the people here will tell you the same thing, and not because we're snobs, but because we don't want to see a fellow grower get ripped off.

I think you're missing the point @PSUAGRO is making. If I'm not mistaken, he's of the opinion that the cannabis nutrient game is largely bullshit. But he can correct me if my interpretation of his posts is wrong.

I'm not familiar with all the options in the UK, but even the somewhat overpriced Optic 8 you were looking at earlier would be far, far, FAR better than two p600s.

Two 240s in a 4x8? Are you leaving half of the space empty?

As a married man, I can appreciate your feelings. My wife wouldn't want to tackle it either. And if you're happy to pay for a pre-built, go right ahead. Good luck.

Oh my. Another HID-moron is loose. Love how these joker's talk shit about things they don't understand. Insecurity is a bitch.

I'll throw in a second recommendation for the HLG-600H. You don't have to put it together; pay for it to be pre-assembled and you'll still pay less than you will for either of the other two. And it's actually a more powerful light (600w) compared to the 510'ish you get from the HLG-550, and is...

Fake? No. Suspect? Yes. Of lower quality? Likely (less copper). But that doesn't mean you can't buy a solid LM561C board on Alibaba, or from China at all. People on both sides of the argument should just be honest about it - it's neither the landmine-ridden wasteland, nor the warm and fuzzy...
