O.k My company is already testing the COB two years.COB Cree CXB 3570,3590,Vero 29,Vero 18 and Citizen.Blend different color temperatures,color blue, orange, red IR ....
After two years we found,that simplicity is power.Best results CXB3590 and Vero 29 + photo red.
Other colors are unnecessary.Result 1.7 g / watt.
Great job! Props! What is your company called? It's good that you're testing the colors & I've seen others get good results with just a Kelvin temp. I am in no way saying otherwise. That's cool n all but different reasons here. I like that the Monos on the Amare allow one to have a veg or flower mode.
BML got 2+ GPW w/ their Grow-Max spectrum of only R+B. But that doesn't mean the plants did all they could. Ex: Photomorphogenesis & Photoperiodism. That's why Fluence openly admits to the problems with such spectrum.
I'm all about growing w/ Kelvin temps. (I believe that's the way to go) I also like the fact that they offer the enhanced spectrum. I believe the plants are reaching their maximum potential. I judge this by being an HPS grower & seeing them lacking but still putting out a lb. + a plant. There Spectrum runs from 32-36k with a very broad & full graph. But to each his own. All I'm saying is I think they are a good company with great service, warranty & products using top components. All I ask is that poeple here recognize these facts. Me, nor anyone else is knocking other lights, just stating we are very happy with ours. Honestly, I haven't finished flower with mine but I don't need to to be happy with my plants reactions.
These lights being less money then most per PPF, warranty, watt, using all the components that we like, offering full transperancy, being the first to openly disclose they are made for our POT, and being so easy to work with, I just don't get why anyone would knock them & say bad things to new growers. To me, Amare is our Freind. Why any different I'll never understand? Not one person has given me any legit reason. We're all growers & we all want the best we can for our hard earned money, so why not except this company whom has gone out on a ledge to except us? Other LED & NUTE companies seem to fear openly admitting they are made for our girls. Why would anyone hate on something so good?
BTW, there are many good companies & many Garbo. DavidP, I'm sure yours is great & if I owned one & liked it, I would share with others. I really like that your taking the time to do the testing! That's great! Keep up the good work & I hope to see your products soon. I wish you nothing but luck in your future endevours.
I will read back in my e-mails w/ Victor & find the exact Bins. They do not state some things on the web-site but I have all the info. & will be happy to share. PPF & PPFD is some of the highest out that o can find.
Sorry so long.
We're all on the same team folks!
