I got this light when it just came out and was really exited about it as my 2 plants were vegging great under it, I switched to 12/12 and exactly when transition phase was over triggering full flowering the plants leaves completely wilted, no light burn, no heat or moisture stress, good PH, and perfect green leaves, however the plant ends up making a pretty dress with them, is like severe under watering (I'm a DWC guy so that doesn't make sence) and of course this ain't my first grow. I went the extra mile and got my light to a friend's grow, It killed one of his flowering plants too.. So Anyone having success with this light?

btw I have a 400W HPS now in my closet, lots of ventilation needed but plants are doing great :-?

I did alot of research here before deciding to go with some LEDs to replace my 2 400 hps. I seen alot of great grows here with LEDs and I ALWAYS have heat issues in the summer so I decided to take the plunge. I bought 4 blackstar 240w flowering models, 2 for each 32"x32" tent. I didnt want to put all my eggs in one basket so i decided to run them side by side. I have a problem that I have NEVER experienced in many years in my LED tent. Horribly slow flowering. I have OTM, Sweet Tooth, and NLxBB in that tent. All very fast strains. Now it has been 4 weeks, and they have no buds yet. One otm hasn't even shown sex. Now for comparison my hp tent has Giesel, Tahoe OG, Chem D, and Sour D in it, all long flowering strains. They are all fine. Look exactly as they should while my LED tent just started getting pistols. Everything is identical otherwise. I tried searching and could not find one more person who had this problem. But that is 100% the only difference besides strains, which there are multiple strains experiencing this so that rules that out. Is it even possible that light can cause that? I have been growing for years and this is a new one on me. Any ideas?

I've been flowering just fine under my 135w blackstar ufo for over a year.... AK-47, Northern Lights, Lemon Skunk, OG Kush, etc.
Of course I've since upgraded to (4) Solar Flare 200w 5w diode panels and moved my blackstar to my veg box.
