LED Grow Light Give-Away from Hydro Grow LED

What’s up my growers? Does anyone out there want to see the real POWER that LEDs are capable of delivering? If so you’re in luck! For a limited time Hydro Grow is giving away a select number of LED Grow Lights to lucky contest winners. What kind of contest you ask? One involving popularity, esteem, and community respect.


Hydro Grow won’t simply give away a light to just anyone. Contest winners need to meet certain criteria in order to qualify:

#1) Contest Applicants must have at least 2 completed grow journals on ICMag.com

#2) Contest Applicants must have more than 200 posts on ICMag.

#3) Contest Applicants must have a quality digital camera and the ability to record and upload 720P or better quality videos.




The 3 grow tests Hydro Grow is willing to support are as follows (no HID vs LED per Admin Request):

1) Any “all white” LED Grow Light vs Hydro Grow LED (applicant must already own an “all white” LED Grow Light).

2) Any standard LED Grow Light vs Hydro Grow LED (applicant must already own a competing LED Grow Light).

3) Two standard seed or clone to harvest tests featuring Hydro Grow LED Grow Lights.



For comparison grow tests, Hydro Grow will supply a light with the closest wattage and footprint to whichever LED Grow Light you are presently using. For the standard tests, Hydro Grow will supply any light up to the 189X-PRO or SOL 9 – 450W model.

Comparison tests must be performed using clones from the same mother under each light, with no other altered variables. For example the nutrient mixture and feeding times must be the same for each set of plants, the ambient air temp and humidity must be the same, etc… The test must show from clone all the way to harvest, with comparative values listed for dry yield at the end.

Standard tests may be performed via seed or clone and must document progress from seedling or clone to harvest, including the dry yield at the end.


To become a contestant, one must nominate themselves in this thread and state which grow test they would like to perform. Those who meet the criteria above will be listed in 2 weeks as candidates for these tests, at which time members of the ICMag community will have 3 days to vote on who they want to see perform the test.

Winners of the contest are required to post a full grow journal using the supplied LED Grow Light from Hydro Grow, to the ICMag forums. Each journal must be updated by the grower at least once every 10 days, with each update requiring at least (5) HD quality photos and (1) 720P or better video that is 45 seconds or longer. These videos and photos are also required to be submitted to Hydro Grow LED for future marketing purposes. Those who do not fulfill these posting guidelines will be charged in full for the light at the end of their test. Those who meet the criteria will be allowed to keep the light free of charge. Do you have what it takes? If so then get nominating!

oneshot is qualified to get a test light, it'd be cool to see him run it against many of his led lamps, and surely he will be objective and fair in his observations and conclusions.

that'd be a good thing for any potential customer wanting to get a led lamp.

peace

Damn wish I had two completed grow journals under my belt. This is a awesome offer and I like the led technology. I do have a all white led lol it's switchable all blue or all white or both on together that I use for veg. I have a combo of LEDs 3 vipar LED panels total plus I have a few other panels. Would be nice to eliminate them all for a really nice one.

Well good luck to whoever gets the panel wish I met the criteria because I would love one of these panels.

My vote would also be for oneshot because he also got me interested in led technology.
Peace mike.

homero, you should qualify purely based on how handsome you are, basing ourselves on your avatar pic that is.

I believe Oneshot would very qualified to do this grow. He is a trusted name with testing LED's in the public eye as one of his main focuses. If he is not allowed to run the test or is shunned it would only leave me to believe Hydro Grow has something to hide. I own two SOl units. They are still in the box and are waiting for me to put them to use(I am a very busy person). That being said there is a lot of clouded BS that surrounds Hydro Grow. Giving Oneshotgrow the opportunity would either make you or break you. He is fast becoming the go to man for modern day LED's

Oneshot. I salute you and am looking forward to your YouTube grow.

If not I may have to post my own info about my results.

1. had, deleted a lot of photos over the years.. also lost my HDD, but I can show HGL some current pics, I would rather not show anyone else.. I have one in my album current though
2. check
3. check. where do we upload video to? HGL? I don't have a you tube account

1) Any “all white” LED Grow Light vs Hydro Grow LED (applicant must already own an “all white” LED Grow Light).


-I think this would be a great opportunity to show what the white LED can do vs. what the HGL can do. And if that can give HGL any insight, would be happy to share.

-I want to run this, as I am a lover of LED.. I'm trying to promote LED with my words in the LED section near everyday. I also am a promoter of HGL.

-I would like to run a autoflower grow from seed. I have two identical tents with identical inlines / carbon filter. I also have identical pots for use.

They still haven't picked a winner yet to test these lights?? I would love to throw my name into the mix just don't do videos that's not my thing. I would do a grow log and submit pictures to your site but that's about it as I don't like doing videos.

I would be happy to put my 270w actual watt led up against one of your lights in the same tent it's a 4x4 and put the same amount of plants under each light and see what side yields better out of the 2.

Peace mike

Whats up with keeping that male plant so close to those lovely females? You breeding them? :tiphat:

Also, it's clear that this thread is not going anywhere. Would a mod remove it from sticky or something?

Seems this company doesn't change from what I have read about them on the Internet!

I see you guys made a message on the net about how you guys are in no way affiliated with "led girl" and want to seperate yourself from the havoc she has caused for your guys name.

Well I may suggest coming on here making a thread wanting someone to get one of your grow lights for free if they document it then to not even follow through with your promise doesn't really help you seperate yourself from your company's old ways or from "Led girl".

You have a couple of people that definitley qualify to test your lights against there LEDs. Oneshot being the most capable that I know of and you still haven't picked who you want to test them for a free grow light.

Are you worried that oneshots lumigrow or the various other LEDs he has would put your grow light to shame in a side by side? Just don't understand how you can make a thread amid offer a free grow light to someone than not honor your commitment.

I said before I wouldn't mine putting my led light up against one of yours but after all I have read about your company and seeing how pretty much everyone got dicked in this thread to false claims i wouldn't care if you wanted to give me one for free I am good.

Well good luck to everyone and hopefully they will honor what they said.
