The thing with "Mike" from GLH, he's not as honest as most would like to think.

He has an "alter ego" on here and other forums...

Want more info, PM me.

Hopefully I don't need to ever find out about any of the light supplier's alter egos, as I am really not personally trying to judge conduct, just looking for a solid product.

@Endur0xX - That definitely seems like a good deal considering wattage, 5w bulbs and price with the trial test package.. but like you said let's get this thing going! I couldn't wait another 2 days let alone 2 weeks lol.

LA Cons are head to their flower tent in a few hours! Ill post an update as soon as they go in.

This is my first experience with an EZ Clone, and I do have to say it's given me a lot more freedom versus a clone dome. It's an awesome investment and freed up my schedule! I'm really digging not having to had mist and vent the clones constantly.. I literally just put them in 7 days ago and check the progress if/when I want and they are all doing great!

**say goodbye to those useless domes ;).. i only mist when i wanna give'm additives..

--cheers
 
wanna hear somthin funny i never use em anyways, nor do i ever mist em EVER they just get cut tossed into soaked 5.5 cubes with root tech on em and away we go keep cubes moist good to go in 8-15 days.
 
Sounds pretty simple! If I ever decide to stray from the EZ Clone machine again I may have to give it a try. Who makes root tech?
 
be weary of california light works. it may be a great light but there method of marketing seems shady if you ask me. they want you to leave a secutity deposit of 999. send them pics or videos. then after 90 days of testing there product for them you can return it or keep it. if you keep it then oilla they keep your deposit. folks this is called a 90 day money back guarantee. glh, hydro grow, advanced, and several others have the same program. they forgot to mention it makes your dick bigger and your guaranteed to turn your plants into playmates.

Sorry for the delay in posting, I didn't get a chance to film before lights went out, so they just came on so here is the video update.​
 
So which light illuminates its tents the most? Any early indication of which light is more intense or can penetrate better?
 
@Enduro - Correct, the lights will be remaining stationary @ 55" which puts them currently approx 24" from the top of the canopy. I usually try to keep my lights about 14" off the top, but anywhere between 12"-24" is a good range in my opinion.

@pufenuff - I'm glad you asked! I noticed there is a pretty substantial difference in color hue coming from the tents which I will try to get a good pic of to upload.

The GLH appears more of a white, light pink, followed by the Blackstar with a darker pink, and then the Penetrator is actually almost purplish in comparison.

This is how I rate the lights on a 3 star scale:

Visual Light Intensity
*** GLH
** Penetrator
* Blackstar

Visual Light Footprint
*** Penetrator
** GLH
* Blackstar

I like how this is starting up already.......good job!
 
I am using an old dresser to build a tiny grow cabinet, I was hoping to have my lights 10inches away from my netting ( I am doing a SCROG) so that late in flowering the biggest buds might be something like 4 inches away ... would that be too close? I thought I read that you can almost have the LED touching the plants!?

my lights for that cabinet :

Fero 180 4G LED Grow Light (3W single chip)
BLUE 90W UFO LED GROW LIGHT 90 WATT 5th Generation
90W QUAD BAND LED GROW LIGHT UFO 90 WATT QUADBAND (the 2 ufo are the 1W LED tech)

yOU'D be most likely all right with those lights; if you take for example the spectra 11 v1 or v2, you'd have problems.. coz the 3w chips are driven at too much power (people have reported issues and this was the conclusion on it). They in fact released v3, which should have chips driven at less power.. so
WEJUANA, It would be great to know what version you have got:)
