Hydroponics Hut 250w Pro grow LED

[Weedsmoke4life]

Sounds impressive!!! anyone have experience with this product??!!?!

here are the specs....

It is a unit that combines 3w diodes and 1W in the same unit. The 3w use a 90 degree angle and the 1w use 60 (seems to be the new standard). This unit features a switchable control on which arrays are lit when you want them to be (have the purple/blue spec + UV in veg, and then have the full beast in flower). But the thing that draws them to me the most is the price!!! $409!!!! sounds almost to good to be true considering similar products cost around $1000 for that many features and watts.

I know this community isn't to fond of LED's, and the reason most being the price (from my observation). Well here is a 1000watt LED solution for $1600, and i am willing to bet if you called the company up and asked them, they would nock some off that total... sounds pretty ley-jit to me!~~~!

Im very interested in too and I've been looking for grow journals with these lights but I have found only a few.

They claim their lights are 100% Cree leds, even Cree doesn't make 660nm diodes. I asked about this with email and they said that they use bridgelux led for 660nm.

Prices and products looks good but are those only salesmantalk or real things?

I am on my 3rd UFO 90 grow, but I supplement with CFLs. LEDs are vg for hot/humid climates. Based on results, I think 200 is minimum to grow hardy plants/buds

The 250 sounds well thought out. The question is "Where is the Lie?"

But then, there might not be one, just a well thought out product at a fair price. I will research it.

hello, just bumping because i grow with the pro grow 260 selective switch... the real wattage is 160w advertised on their page, would need a kill-a-watt to confirm that. Anyway the ladies from the first round came out very frosty, the new ongoing grow i will utilize all the space available to see what kind of yield they can offer...

 

[Highlighter]

I have this unit too, for about a yr. It puts out 200w on my Kill-a-Watt, as shown in the Kill-a-Watt thread.
It's a good light, there are far worse on the market, better ones too, but for the $, it does the job.

 

[jenery]

Well, second grow with this light almost done, the plants are loving it, the only thing that bothers me is the noise, there are 3 built-in fans and they are pretty loud, the light is in the closet in my bedroom and still pretty audible even with doors closed. So if you sleep close to your grow place or you need it stealthy, then some soundproofing is necessary.

I see they have a new 400 selective that they claim is "whisper quiet". Real wattage is 360 I think. It look sweet. I've been considering something in this range. Only thing, their tents don't come in packages.

MonsterGardens have them pre-packaged. which saves one the scrambling trying to figure out whats gonna fit & what not.

 

[growerwannabe]

I use their 400X selective switch. Only 1 complete grow so far. 3 plants(a Haze, and 2 unknown seeds I found in my "one nug of every strain tried" jar. The plants grew out full & the haze was tall. Avg. 33g./plant. I felt pretty good about that since I did so many stupid things to those poor plants. No noise, no heat, no burn. I like the light. It is a quality product.
I wonder how it would compare to some of the newest Chinese LEDs...

 

[biledemonx]

Hydroponics hut is a joke. They claim all their products are top of the line but they aren't. I purchased their 550 selective switch when it was new for about $1000. It was marketed as the professional light in their line. I've been using it for 3 years now and it sucks! I feel so ripped off. The light penetration is garbage, it only reaches 4-6 inches into the canopy, which causes male florets on any buds not in direct light!
I've had male flowers over and over until I started keeping my plants flat.
Seeing as this was their top of the line light I would safely say their products are a joke, especially since you can buy at least 2 1000 watt hid for the same price!

I will be buying a couple 600 watt hps lights to replace my led in the next weeks.

Sorry about the long post but I think it is very necessary for people to be informed about company's who are in it for the money and themselves. Fuck that. I am putting them on blast.

I have had some serious problems with my first two PG400's I purchased in April 2016. The PG400 is not on there website anymore. A month later after initial purchase I have noticed that pg400 #1 was dimmer than pg400 #2. Another month later pg400 #1 blue spectrum completely went out. Unfortunately I couldn't get a refund because it was past due the refund date, but I did get an exchange. So once the newest pg400 #3 came in (i will assign it as pg400 #3) I immediately did a comparison with my initial purchase pg400 #2. I downloaded 2 different lux meter apps on my phone and did my test here is what I got:

pg400 LED#2:
Full spectrum: 1700 lx Veg spectrum: 155 lx Flower spectrum: 1025 lx
pg400 LED#3
Full Spectrum: 2400 lx Veg spectrum: 210 lx Flower spectrum: 1500 lx

I did numerous tests and I got similar readings. So that means my first two lights were both defective before they even left the warehouse. That means they do not even test them prior to shipment.

I sent Kristin from hydroponicshut an email once I knew the pg400 #2 was defective. this is the reply I got.

Hello Kristin,

Hope all is well. After some speculation I have encountered another defective pg400. It is from my initial purchase. I will assign each pg400 Led light a reference number to make it easy to identify and explain to you what is going on.

I initially purchased two pg400's. I will name them LED#1 and LED#2. As you know LED#1 was defective and had that one returned and so I purchased another pg400(LED#3). I compared LED#2 with the newly purchased LED#3 with a lux meter and LED#3 was emitting more bright light than LED#2. I have tested it several times and this is what I got on average:

LED#2:
Full spectrum: 1700 lx Veg spectrum: 155 lx Flower spectrum: 1025 lx

LED#3
Full Spectrum: 2400 lx Veg spectrum: 210 lx Flower spectrum: 1500 lx

When I place each hand a few inches under both led lights while wearing sunglasses I can clearly see brighter light emitting onto the top of my hand from LED#3 than LED#2.

To save me the hassle and headache I am kindly requesting to send back LED#2 for a full refund. Waiting for your reply.

Hello Sergei,

Our current refund policy is located here: https://www.hydroponicshut.com/terms-and-conditions.html/?___store=default

As your purchase is more than 30 days old we will be unable to refund your purchase price. All the units you purchased were functioning 100 percent upon shipment and frankly we've done all we can to help your situation.

I suggest you sell the units on a major auction channel such as eBay if they've been such an inconvenience to you. Our products have a great resale rate and I think this would be a great option for you.

Then I emailed them asking about my 3 year warranty and have not heard from her, so I dropped it for 5 months. So I deicded to email them again with my same problem hoping I would get a different customer service rep. The person who emailed me back was Ben who is the owner of the company and has the youtube name: propagandapharms pretending to be a regular joe using only Hydroponicshut leds to grow his herb and saying it is the best. So I received an email from him and he had no clue about my problem because the communication was between Kristin and I only. So I let him know and I told him that Kristin gave me an unprofessional response and I demand to have my LED fixed which is under warranty. This was his response:

Hi Sergei,

Unfortunately there's nothing we can do in this circumstance as the units in your possession are functioning properly. The product in question is far from defective and will continue to bring you great results for years.

Kristin was correct, if you're not happy with the results you're receiving from the technology or the levels from your meter I would suggest you sell the units on eBay as well. Our products have a really great resale rate which I think will please you very much.

Have a terrific holidays,

That was the last I heard from Ben after several emails I sent to him still no response.
That concludes my rant about this company. Please buyer beware!!! STAY away from this company.

grow in peace,
