BTW before sleeping I realized I didnt send any good wishes your way. Sorry about my thoughtlessness, and hope you got well over whatever health challenges you were facing. 3 weeks is a long time!

I guess all your competition is rushing to the xpg-3, because they have heavy competition about efficiency. I think the cree is about 25% more efficient, but how about their price? Having the red in a separate channel is a great benefit. I would always choose it over a light where there is only one ...

And there is a huge difference between gambling from your excesses, and gambling with your primary operation funds.

Now that I looked at the photo again, there were lots of hairs lower down, and I can see some seed pods forming on the higher buds too! awesome!

Perhaps you were a little late with the male? seems the female had almost no hairs in the photos :lol: Awesome to see the process documented, and I assume you still have the strain, so whatever happens your in a great position to do it again.

This does not mean that alibaba would have any interest in stopping real reviews. The final product is neithe...

Well I have no idea of inbuilt dimmers, thats pretty special, so maybe its not expensive at all. The drivers I usually use are 40w and 22v... so pretty perfect for the 1 and 2 foot eb's in parallel. No inbuilt dimmer. They dim with the 0-10v standard, which should be what old school fluorescent fixt...
