Cutter New Web site

After having a little play with the strips we got this weekend im thoroughly satisfied. Br 5050: those 5w chips are insanely bright and we only took them up to 50w per strip. We also took the phosphor reds up to 50w (Mark ive asked this several times, how hard can you drive these?)

Also very impressed with the 2000k solstrips. After seeing what 2700k 90 cri did on one tray i wanna test these out.

Both strips design were fine with 50w operation not mounted to, just lying on top of a alusheet.

Due to eviction we wont be setting this up for a while

I will defo order again. This is a custom option shop, not Amazon so its normal that they take some time. But i still think cutter can stepup their game a bit.

You like the 90cri over 80cri? I really havent noticed much difference. I have one flowering area running 3k 90cri and another 2700k 80cri really not much of difference. I mean it's hard to get a real idea of the difference as they are different cct.

We have 2x 2700k trays, they look very similar to 3000k. They are lit by 2x 4china qbs in bar design, and 12 x Vesta strips. All 3 fixtures on 240 drivers. The 12 vesta strips cover almost a tray with 250w and the result is similar to the other tray which i under about 400w. Its not that 90 cri was different, just same with less watts. Might have to do with light distribution aswell. Strips are good with that.

But i am getting a feeling that it would be nice to try some really intense flower spectrum and then add blue/uv and maybe some green, rather than add reds to 3000k.

Notice any flowering time reduction under your 90cri strips @whytewidow @Rocket Soul

I have 90cri COBs but they are semi retired since I moved house. Just using the QBs these days.
I remember folks testing the 90cri a couple of year ago and saying they shaved a week off flowering times but my problem is I don't count days much or look at calendars. Im lucky if I know what time it is.

@coreywebster @Rocket Soul
I added 660nm and 672nm to my 2700ks and 3000ks it took off 6 days of flower from previous run of the same strain(clone) this run same clone, same media, flowering under 3500k no reds and 90cri. The frost hit way way sooner. I had trich production on day 9 of flower. They are on day 19 now I think maybe day 21. Fans are covered in trichs.

I ordered a bunch of square 25 diode copper pcb lm301bs in 2700k and gonna add some cree xpe 660s to it flower only and see how it does.

Couldnt really say if they were quicker. The whole grow gets pulled at the same time. And its more based on having completed final swell than tricomes. Would have to do a whole grow 90cri.

I dont doubt that spectrum can affect finishing time. But its its prob both strain dependant and dependant of what criteria you use for determining when u cut.

Thanks Rocket
Im still testing the PC red to see what is the max power on these, we had them custom made for us so the data on drive is really being generated by us. I will post the data when we complete testing.

Your correct we do need to step up the game, I think we tend to spend time on product development and need to give equal juice to product fulfilment
Cheers

do the pc red also use a blue led? or is it a red one + phosphor?

Full Credit to Mark and his team !
Package was at my door first thing this morning, delivery time was amazing.

Me and Mark have emailed quiet a few times to his credit he apologised for any inconvenience I experienced so I must also do the same and eat some humble pie. @welight I'm sorry for over reacting and for lack of better word's being a whiney bitch lol. In hindsight I shouldn't have gone blast mode the first time things didn't go my way I'm very sorry for my comments, I never meant to under mind the time and energy you have spent establishing your company.

Now that's over to the best part. . .My swag lol and once again full credit to Mark and his Team, these thing's were beyond my highest expectation quality was on point, presentation was impeccable and packaging. . .Dame they are not playing when it comes to packaging took me a couple of smokes breaks just to unwrap my strips lol but totally worth it.

Thanks to Mark and his Team

Nice watch

Yeah I was under the assumption the strips were already made. So that's on me for not asking. My order as of 2 days ago was 60% complete. I just assumed when it said in stock, that the strips were already made. But it does need to posted on the website that they have to be made after you order. I have another 400+ strip order that I will be going through mark for. Now that I know they have to made after purchase. I can time my builds for people more accordingly. And he even offered for me to give him a list of what I need and he will pre build them for me before ordering.

@welight
Im looking at your 5050 br solstrip: super vegg, 4000k 98 cri. Any chance you could post that spectrum? Tried looking around to no avail.

Hi Rocket

@welight Once again I email asking for a quote. And get no response. But you're on here. I mean if you dont wanna sell products just say you dont. I also asked where you were at with my order an estimated shipping date. Its April 13th I ordered on March 28th. It's now day 17 and still not shipped. I told you I was needing another big order. Plus another 32 strips for myself. But I cant wait a month before shipping. It really shouldnt take 17 days to make 100 strips. Are you soldering these by hand or what.

@welight perhaps I missed it, is there a nice juicy discount code for cutter electronics?

There are $666.12 CAD of goodies I want to order from you

there may be apileo f us

i am still waiting for email reply about discount for first time customer

the second pm reply to mark has gone silent

i have 500$ + in my check out

i could easily double that beforei buy..but i am still waiting

Yesterday the three kits I ordered on the 25th came in. Today the heat sinks for them did as well. i will post up and build later. Quality is great. I'm going to attempt to continue communication to add to these kits.

@welight hey, could you give a model/product number on those cree 5630 he you mentioned on tekniks thread?
