I have a hard time believing because everything I have ever read points to the exact opposite the fact that it penetrates more means nothing plants can't see green. Have you ever done an experiment in grade school with incandescent bulbs (they didn't have cfls when I was a kid) different color bulbs over daisys or tomatoes or somthin the green bulb really didn't do much of anything and the plant eventually would expire if in a CSe. Jus sayin I find it hard to believe not all scientific studies are right ether scientists em make mistakes sometimes. That being said I still haven't read it and when I do my opinion may change. I'll get to it today at some point. Im still kinda sick takin a nap lol woke up to burn

In the army we used red lenses on our flashlights to cut down on the distance the light traveled. I always wondered why red light couldn't be seen from as far away as other colors.

I cut these things from the mother when it was showing pre-flowering and now all the plants are carrying on the pre-flowering.

I believe it as it is a true study, and I agree with you that Green light on its own does nothing but to put it into laymans terms it is more like a catalyst just as Salt is a catalyst for rusting Iron in the presence of water. :-)

I thought trichromes were like sunscreen the plant produces to protect itself I dont think green light is the reason there's more resin I think its just the intensity from the light remember these lights are all at same height for the sake of the experiment even though they would possibly be better off at a different height and that imo is the reason behind the trich production.

I wasn't on about the resin just the size of the bud as it has caught up with the Blackstar and looks as though it will overtake it, but I wouldn't pay the ridiculous price for the Penetrator. The only other company that I know of that is going down this route also is Growstealth (Not Stealthgrow). Is anyone growing with this light as I am torn between another Blackstar and the Growstealth light. Please get back to me if you are :-)

This is exactly why I will read it. See if Im bein an asshole I probably wouldn't read it and say I'm right. But I try and be open minded. Just because somthin makes nonsense with facts I have doesn't mean it doesn't make perfect sense after I add the missing pieces. Interesting. Instill need to read it I keep gettin distracted damn add

eshinesystem, they are the ones they claim they make the penetrator! They sell the 126 X lenses 3w or 1w WITH THE SAME SPECTRUM AS HGL (green in the middle). 440/470/525/640/660/740nm
Price range? 250 - 280 dollars! What do you guys make of that?

Those lenses look completely different than the penetrator.. same manufacturer though huh? interesting

interesting isn't it? That's when I say that most companies are ripping us off, led panels could have already more reasonable prices in my opinion!
they are made in china anyway, aren't they? most of them are..

Anyway Wejuana, thanks for doing this, we are seeing lights capibilities here, and we are throwing in loads of stuff.
I got a suggestion for you, why don't you also add a 357 Magnum Plus to your experiments? They might just give you the light for it ;)

I've actually considered popping up another tent or 2, and have had a numerous LED companies contact me up wanting in on the comparison, but I would really be crammed for space. As of now, I don't see the benefits outweighing the aggravation. I may switch out LEDs in the future though with different makes/models. Magnum was definitely one of the higher lights on my list to test (along with Advanced and now these Eshines lol)

I find that light to be questionable I could be wrong but that's just me. No mention of wattage draw or anything of the sort

I was really hoping that since the last time I looked, in 08, that leds were ready to do some work. especially after reading the ingenuity behind the angleing of the lights with the different pars and uv influences. then I read threads with half wit growers, taking clones that are stressed and flowering...or burning the shit out of their flowers during a led light comparison. oblivious to their naive ignorance and trying to sound like old time pro's.

I am sticking with my hid, and now you can flood this 1000 more posts, who knows, maybe somebody will do somthing worthwhile eventually with these lights.
