I don't think they are as of now. The website is back online.. bunch of models missing, including mine.. which upset me as I clearly stated to them when ordering and after the fact in a separate email.. "I'm going to give this model a try, and if it performs well..order one or two more." They could have let me know my model was being discontinued weeks later.. it was a little unsettling. The light is great.. but the whole 2 month order process, return, problem, problem, problem thing I experienced with them was terrible. Not to mention when they had their phones and email shut off.. ughhh.. I sat with a broken item in a box for 12 days before I could even reach someone. It was a huge pain in the ass to buy this light from them.. but alas.. I have one.. in working condition.

Next light... DIY method. I'm not going through that again. I paid almost $1k for peace of mind.. and simplicity from ordering from a company who would build, deliver, and back a product with a warranty.. any hopes of peace of mind and simplicity went straight out the window when their phone was disconnected.

I just checked the optic lineup and CXB3070s ran at 2.15 which is fine but running the CXB3070 at 2.5 doesn't make since to me in the 400watt model. Why not the CXB3590?
The CXB200 looks to still be very good fixture though
200watt and 400watt Vero29 optic models still look to be there best bang.
I would much rather run a Vero29 100watts than CXB3070.
Ive told em over and over that the 90 watt and 120 watt Vero29 were spaced way to close for the wattage they running and it really needs to be fixed if they plan on keeping up in the COB world.

I don't think a lot of what they are doing makes any sense right now.. so I stopped trying to figure it out. I was wondering that too though,, maybe they are sitting on a bunch of CXB3070's.. who knows.

My old sales manager used to say.. "sell what you got."

I'm gonna connect with Supra off here in a couple months probably and try to cobble together something bigger/better than my 500watt Vero 29 light... we need more power.. MORE POWER!!!! lol

ohh btw forgot to tell u..i worked my light down to 16" from the tops of the plants.. i didn't have the stones to do it till they were at week 2 of flower... they are handling it just fine. in fact they all look amazing. i think its going to make a big difference in yield vs being at 20" or above.

btw, that Sweet Sticky Piney looks great!

hey jimmyindica, I wanted to ask my question in private message but for some reason I couldnt. Anyway, just wondering if you could pop by my thread with the w90s and let me know what you think of the distance between the lights and also distance from lights to canopy. I look at your lights and the cobs are so much farther away than mine are, also, how do your lights compare with a51's? THANKS

I will check my settings again,sorry bout that.
I did stop over and checked your grow out and see that you run I think SGS? and I run RW150s 8inches from canopy towards end flower.
I run 75watt and under COBs real close. 12 to 14inches. 60watt 10 to 12inches. Its the the High Powered 100watt CXB3590s/120watt Vero29s that I like to run 20 to 24inches for maximum coverage area and still have punching power.
I wont run anything under 100watt CXB3590s until CXCs? and then 80 or 90 watts. Vero29s like to be run hard:)and if something goes wrong?replace it for cheap or use the warranty.
A51s are very good and if your on a budget and need to fill a large area? Cant beat W90s in that respect.:peace:
My $400 RW150s are outlast $1250 KIND (The RWs Reds are a favorite) Still going strong Year nonstop

For myself the sweet spot 90watt Vero29s/Lenses on is 18inches. Freeair W90s IMO would be 16in from canopy

Anyone who deals with a small/new company needs to realize that no matter what the integrity of a company or company owner, a warranty is basically worthless over the long run. We all know the odds of a small businesses success are dismal really, so expectations of warranty service in the future should be considered a bonus, not a feature. And now you see why........

I tried to get ahold of them recently about ordering another light.. the only way I could reach them.. through Amazon.

Just doesn't sit right with me the way they are doing things.

What if my light shit the bed? Then what.. send out an email through Amazon and hope someone gets back a week later? It's bullshit.

Great light tho.. LOL.

Hi Jimmy,

what would you recommend the distance for a 3x3x6 and height distance for veg for a 360vero29? I see that you put 18inches for the veros. That is for flowering correct?

Thanks!

Is the flowering distance throughout the whole flower or just for the start of the bloom phase and let the buds grow closer?


Thanks again!

The Final Prototype CXB200 finished the CCC and I have to return in couple weeks so I figured I would help Optic200 flower the 2ft7 x 4ft7 growlab
I will get the final weight with CXB/CottonCandy Cane in the new thread.
