Yes, I'm familiar with these lights. However, I've always thought that these, CLW and Kind were too expensive. Adding another $1000 per light opens up a whole lot of options with newer more efficient/effective technologies. I'm glad that they work for you and I'm not knocking them. For what I...

Yes, I've considered that and agree. However, I've found that good training of upper growth into a more horizontal orientation can actually benefit yield. Remember that I've grown with sub 2k HPS and have had good results. Also, these lights allow for fairly close proximity to the canopy. But I...

I'm hoping that the 1750K presented in a LED format will provide comparable performance to a 600hps with an Eye Hortilux SHPS bulb. Understanding that led is more binary and does not have the subtilty an HPS. I'm hoping not to lose bud density, frost or terpene production. The photos won't lie...

Well, after several months of searching and false starts, I've ordered a light. I decide to go with this Timber Redwood VS. https://timbergrowlights.com/redwood-vs/ I spoke with them directly and feel like I'm going to get a quality American made product that is exceedingly well made. Too many...

These lights really do look impressive and I'm interested. However, I'm not finding the Bar 6 online and can't find Amare's direct website. I've found the V8 and resellers. If it's not too much trouble, would you mind providing a link/links in order for me to further explore their products and...

I'll def check them out. The remote mounting of the driver is big issue for me. So that and the spectrums already make them look favorable. Thanks for taking the time to educate me a bit!

P.S. I can configure my space to accommodate just about any light. The form factor preferences are light bar first. However, cost is definitely a factor. Also, I'm more interested in established proven brands. Most of the Chinese products don't tempt me due to quality/performance concerns. Mars...

Sure, I'm open minded. What are you suggesting? Thanks

Yes, they are on Alibaba. You can also get the 3k version from GeekBeastUSA. However, it's about $100 more. I've been going back and forth on these lights. My main concern is that they may be a bit substandard from a quality standpoint. That being said, I think I'm going to buy the HLG600 V2...

Here's a link that you may find helpful. While it's for another light company the discussion it provides on UV/IR is informative https://platinumgrowlights.com/2018/08/02/70282/ Also, I've had lights with supplemental UV. My own feeling is that I want it integrated into the light. Outboard...

Yes, my thoughts exactly. I was just too lazy to expand my response. That being said, many of these lights are using similar form factors and are made in China. Many have the same components and are just branded differently. Some may claim to be using "top shelf" diodes and drivers and doing so...

Good call....

One is 630 watts the other is 465 watts.....same price.

Yes, thanks, I've seen them there. However, when you factor in shipping and difficulty in processing warranty claims, it's probably worth it to buy from the US supplier. They are offering a better warranty and one would expect better customer service. Also, I don't mind supporting American...

I'm seriously considering buying one of these lights. It seems to check a lot of boxes. My understanding is that it's a Chinese made light?? That being said, if it is using legitimate diodes and other components, what are the drawbacks? It seems to be reasonably priced and the spec's for the...

Hi, I've done about six DWC grows. Each time the roots looked different. I've come to the conclusion that much of the variation was due to fertilizer and amendment choices. Using any fertilizer with humic or fulvic acid additives tends to discolor the roots. Using "clear" i.e. synthetic liquid...

It's been almost 2 weeks since I sent them $50. (A small test order). So far they haven't acknowledged receiving payment. I've ordered from numerous seed banks, paying cash, this is the first time I've had an issue. Yes, I read the reviews too. Hence the small order in case I got burned. I'll...

Here are some pics from a four different strain auto grow

Glad that you are getting excellent results. These are very good lights for the money. I always thought that Kind lights were overpriced.

The light that I'm referring to is the Solar Extreme 500. It is a COB based light that draws 400 watts. It lists for $450. However, CLW typically will sell it for 15 percent off. The net cost is $375. That's a lot of light for the money. It covers a 4x4 area in flower. That was point I was...
