and purple alien is also intresting to some:

of course its best to build your own, you just have to know things .. to be honest im not really up to date which chip is the hottest new thing; but all i can say is that those cob`s (not cali orang bud, but chip on board) have an CRI (color rendering index) of 80 , that means the spectrum / color is 80% that of the sun, and to my best knowledge, no growing lamp has such high values except plasma lamps, which arent really into mainstream growing imho ... so what are you left with, mh and hps which both have criminal CRI`s compared to leds, that perform as they do .. gram / watt and so on .. well with leds you can easyly double the outcome

time has come that i became intrested into leds ... so its time for you too ... lol ...

im sure things will get better with time, but at this moment, the rtansition has laready been made from the technical point of view, only negative thing ... leds are an established market, they have nothing to do with growing .. so that means, prices will stay that high for 5 to 10 years

its up to you, to make a mathematical formula that will show if such a big investment is going to pay off within a timeframe thats acceptable to you ...


half of my customers are more tha satisfied with leds the other half isnt, somehow like any other product .. 1 will say its great, the other one will say its shit ... lol

Are commercial growers using them yet in places where growing for rec sales is legal?
One for the rook

One for the crow

One to rot
