Lol..oops. Ya built that didn't you. Seriously though..I'd use that one for side lighting unless your in a micro area. Build a air cooled more powerful one for overhead...maybe even reflectors/optics

Yeah. I am noticing a lot more heat from the top side of SPYDR and it has ~6" below where the hot5 currently is holding place- just in case

Today I repositioned my fan so it blows across both the SPYDR2 and the top of the plants

I plan to mention this to BML

Then finally it is more convenient 2 XGS 190 for my 4x4x6.5??
How many watts consumed by each panel, and how much they weigh? I ask because I have to import it and the dimensions and weight are important to see shipping cost.

I'm getting the details as I can get them. I just posted the PAR readings PPFD for all Generation 2 panels which will be available within the next week. I also will be posting the spectroradiometer charts in a few minutes. What other info did you need? Feel free to visit my journal for the specs... I don't want to spam up this thread...

No, I don't, I do talk with the owner a lot because I want to know the details of the panels I am testing. But yea, as far as financial interest or stake in the company.. Nope.. Just a test grower... and so far I am pretty stoked at the results of the lights I am using (Gen1). I will be also testing the Gen 2 lights when they arrive, but still about 2 weeks out. If there are any specific tests you guys want me to run/do when I do the 2nd test journal, please let me know as I try to provide a throughout report in everyway possible. I don't have a par meter or spectrometer though, even though I wish I could afford one. :) typically I do draw tests with watt and amps, IR thermo tests, unboxing review and the grow itself, outside of that is there anything you guys would like to see?

OK so you dont have any "financial interest" in the company but they are sponsoring you right?... which would mean flog the crap out of it at every chance you get... its not like you bought the light and are testing it unbiasedly... of course you are going to "love" the light.... they are giving it to you for free and are about the hook you up with their "next gen" lights.

C'mon man...

you sound like a used car salesman in this video

Its ok... I honestly don't mind.. I'll let the PAR readings, spectral output and my grow represent what these lights can do.. any other judgement or opinion is just that, opinion. Everyone is welcome to visit my journal if they want, and for the trash talkers, company reps and other haters... your welcome to join too.. I'm not here to argue, but share another option in LED lighting because I am happy with the lights and they are doing what their intended to do, very good.

Look, its an equal trade off. I'm speding money on electricity, nutrients and time involvement to run a light that I have no clue how is going to perform. Also chancing growing buds that aren't where they need to be and basically could lose out on that aspect as well. So yes, lights were given to me by a company, but its not just like I do nothing in return for them. There is a chance I take with each test that the lights perform or they don't, and honestly it works out good for me, since I like the lights, like the concepts and details and such, but it is not done without risk... so honestly take it how you want to, but I invest just as much in time, resources and chance as the panels are worth.

32 Days of flowering so far, looks like the grow lights are growing my plants very good :) The updated spectrum charts and details are on my journal, if anyone cares.
