Yeah I wasn't dogging them by any means. I have several strips from Ebay solskins n stuff. The pic jus made them look like they round optics on em. I was interested if they did. But I have both genuine Samsung lm561c diodes. And I have "Samsung solskins lm561c diodes from Ebay. Both grow efficiently and yield like mofo. And jus drop the frost.
I noticed it looked like y'all's LEDs were similar, so whats the difference between the two diodes?

Efficiency, temp color, forward voltage, Amps, and what's used to make them. And output.
But both of them are Samsung 561c? I just assumed a 561 was a 561. I need to do some research , im lagging bad!

Could be something the web developer did autonomously, it is possible Gu~ doesn’t make every single decision himself.
I agree, the marketing business is disgusting, and people steal images all the time, not just in the seed game. Gu needs to step up his rigor to avoid this sort of callout, it is a bit lazy seeming.
Heisen and Jayblaze have a right to be suspicious, or even pissed, for sure, but I think none of us has enough information to really know what’s going on. I’m glad I chose the right time to pull out, again.Not as many as you think. I think. Was it 40 amps that said he was inspired to buy because of price, and the pics and reports on this thread? Same with me. I feel ya as far as where you're coming from H, but this thread is loaded with superb pics and reports, so I only have one question at this point:
If GPS growers aren't growing what he says we're growing, then what are we growing? ['Cause you know.....it's pretty good.Cheap, too. ] How are OBS growers getting rank orange plants and jelly pie tokers reporting grape? OK...that's 2 questions.
Did y'all see that hibernate pic? Whatever it is, I'm finding room to run some of those. OBS too.
GPS needs to improve business management practices in general to avoid this sort of shit, the scrutiny is not going away. With you on that 100%

No I imagine the Ebay ones aren't actual Samsung lm561c s6 bin diodes. I know my ones I order from arrow and another site are. But what I'm meaning is the Ebay ones grow just as good. And prob just aren't as efficient. I actually have them mixed in one of my flower tents. I have 10 true samsungs single row 3000k strips. And 5 double row 2700k Samsung solskins from Ebay.

Day 63 Of what I'm guessing is Cookies n Chem. Not even close yet really. Lookn at prob atleast 80 days. But now with all this bullshit going on about using other peoples pictures. Which I find irritating AF. Bc I had some clown in here using my pics of something I grew as his. Posted them on IG, here, and two other forums. So to me it's a big deal. Like which is the lesser of two evils. Lying about what the beans are and selling them as what you said like the s1 fiasco. Or lying by showing pictures of plants saying that's what the seeds are. When in fact it not. I'm losing a ton of respect for you @Gu~ what's the deal man. I mean I'm a nobody. But I run alot of your gear. I dont like being lied too. Whether it be straight to my face or by false advertising.
Is this really Cookies n Chem Gu?

Ok so Sol Skin is just the name of the fixture like hlg or whatever. So i bet they are real Samsung diodes.

There are some that's had a difficult time w/ you for a long time, no doubt. I think your points are valid, and the picture reveal....shadang! I don't know how that gets defended. It's pretty disappointing to a lot of good people I'm sure.
Everyone has a right to be pissed. Good plants or not, [a] integrity, honesty, and [c]non-douchery matter to good people. I metaphorically dated Tony Green through a third pack of beans before our breakup. Category C. I'm more invested in GPS, and have gotten good results. It's a quandary [ noun - a state of perplexity or uncertainty over what to do in a difficult situation. ]
Edit - no idea why that posted in bold letters.

I'm not defending any seedbank using fake or stock photos so miss me with the lame ass "fanboy nutswinger savior" bullshit. Like others I buy based off lineage and reports from growers I respect and trust.
I hate it when a seedbank uses a stock or web images. It does suck.
I just know I would've quit growing a long time ago if I let every bad bean order cause me this much angst.
I smoke a joint and move on to other genetics.
*shrugs*
And WC is a very easy cut to acquire and throw pollen on. Almost too easy. I could have it done in a single day but chances are good, the offspring wouldn't look like WC. It would look like the new pic posted...another SD cross....and that isn't good marketing.

No doubt.me and you had our differences but it never kept me from trying brisco county's finest.
I still like the ol chap just wish he would have handled the request a little different.i know if I was a breeder I would have listened a little carefully.dude has the potential to be the best and its dudes that will put his gear on the map that will make him or break him.not 16 year old fan boys in a tent.
Sack had good success with his stuff but who knows how that's going these days.i doubt sack paid alot for all them seeds.
If gu qas smart he would have taken them keepers from Andy and back crossed them to his stardawgs.if I handed out a few 1000 seeds to someone you better believe there giving me something good back.

2) Quandary is a nice word, feels good to say, love the mouth-feel.
C: Yes, everyone does have a right to be pissed, the more I think about the lack of a full recall on the S1’s the more it feels really shady.
- My own attempts at having business integrity and ethical behavior have literally cost me more than a million calculable dollars, so I would defy any excuses about how expensive a recall is. I have been there. Today I mailed a $4500 refund check to Texas because my customer changed his mind after six months. (My day job is...not to be discussed here too specifically.) It hurt me a lot financially, super-shitty timing, but my customer is happy and I can keep my head held high.
V - It would be pretty cool if someone came out big time in the seed game who would exercise limpid [Adjective 1. Free of anything that darkens, completely clear.] transparency, honesty, and integrity about their gear and practices without having to be caught out doing shady shit first. Imagine the possibilities! No, not all of them, you might hurt yourself.
First; If you wanna get rid of any of that Tony Green gear, let me know, I never pulled the trigger on the Gorilla Bubble line but it looked pretty great...was it bunk? PM me the tldr, I don’t know details of that particular drama yet
