Are you seriously going to misconstrued my wording again? Wow, you're hellbent on twisting words around to your benefit, hu?The thing is, I've had MH, HPS, CFL over plants and tanks for waaay too long. Started building LEDs ummm about 5 years ago to grow coral, had to figure lots of stuff out, like all DIYers, and really understand this shit somewhat.
And you know what never surprised me? Pretty much anything. Pretty much every light source has performed in the real world how it should on paper, within a certain margin of error. PAR watts are PAR watts, photons are photons, and different bulbs and leds from reputable manufacturers all did exactly what I expected.
Including the latest light I built. Output on a shitty lux meter, temperatures, power usage, it all lined up with what I expected.
So when you say Amare is sooooo much better than a COB-only light, and say COBs have the same gpw as HPS, it's bullshit. I know it's bullshit, because a million photos and videos show it's bullshit, my experience not being overly surprised by simple math shows it's bullshit, data sheets and manufacturer testing from HID and LED companies show, guess what? Bullshit.
And for somebody who grows sooo much and sooo awesome, you haven't even tried a COB grow, but continue to push one brand of lighting that you are having success with, and crediting that success to pretty colors instead of the big ass COBs in the middle of it.
I don't push anything. I recommend a product I know works based on actual experience. Do you do that?
HPS & MH over your fish tank hu? Geeze, sounds a bit crazy to me but to each his own. And that makes you knowledgable about light sources to grow weed how exactly?
I had said that any & every side by side w/ white cobs vs HPS I've seen come out to be the the same harvested yield. The cobs were more efficient these growers said by means of less heat, in turn, requiring less cooling. Saving energy on AC & in-line fans. If you grew, you would know that adds up to be allot. Side by sides are the only way one can actually say their GPW mean something in reference to being comparative.
You can keep watching your videos & reading your equations to be able to call BS. I will continue do do actual testing in field to determine real results. Then I will share these real results with real people.
Oh, and please stop trying to twist words around, edit little clips from unrelated conversations in attempt to discredit me. It's real freakin sad dude.
Like I said, kick rocks. You're an infectious disease that really has no business stopping others from sharing the truth.
