As many of you know, we gave away several thousand dollars in free lights to various moderators on this forum back in November. Many of them have grows underway or near completion, showing what is possible with our lights in the hands of others. Granted there was a slight learning curve with a few of the members due to new conditions with LED (less heat, less frequent watering, etc...), but overall I think the mods are doing a pretty good job (no doubt their 2nd rounds will be better).

Back when the thread was shutdown for the free light give-away, I stated that our company would be doing another promotion in the future for members only. This is that promotion.

We are looking for talented gardeners on the forums, who have plenty of experience with HID growing and are always after maximum yield. If you're new, or only have a few grows under your belt, please do us the favor and refrain from applying. All applicants should submit 2-4 photos of some of their "work", as well as a brief background on their experience and success with HID (grams per watt). Well-respected members are obviously put at the front of the line, and those with recommendations from other users will find themselves in the same position. All "winners" of this promotion, will be required to post grow journals on the forums (in the growing section), as well as links to those journals in their signature. We will ask for updates at least once per week, and that you follow some minor recommendations throughout your grow. Youtube videos at the end of your grows, are also highly encouraged.

Here is what we are offering:

1 Free 126W to a member willing to do a side-by-side comparison grow against a 250W HID.

1 Free 205W to a member willing to do a side-by-side comparison grow against a 400W HPS in Soil.

1 Free 205W to a member willing to do a side-by-side comparison grow against a 400W HPS in Hydro.

1 Free 205W to a member willing to do a side-by-side comparison grow with a ProSource 180W Jumbo in Hydro.

1 Free 345W to a member willing to do a side-by-side comparison grow with a Lumigrow ES (330W)

5 Individuals will receive a 126W unit (2nd Gen) at 50% off. This is only for those experienced in micro-grows, or simple scrog style setups.


We are requesting tests using our 205W against a 400W HPS, solely due to the size of the light footprint. The grow tests using the 205W models should be performed in a 30" x 30" area, which would allow most people approximately 4 plants per light. The test has nothing to do with equivalency, although a gram per watt rating at the end from each light, will show how each one stands.

I know the response on this will be overwhelming, so please don't expect a reply from us right away on who will be receiving what. Make SURE to state in your application post, what promo you are applying for, so we can keep everyone organized. We will make our decision on the winners within the next 1-2 weeks depending on the response.

i wish you had one for a 600w comparison....id give her a try.....i am a master micro grower though! Im getting anywhere from 1.2 gpw-1.63gpw... Heres some pics....my thread is in the signiture!






Current Micro Grow at 4 weeks using 130w of CFL's

I would like to toss my hat in the ring for this for the comparable 400w HPS led setup (soil)! I have a tents, 2 400ws, one MH, one HPS, top notch equipment and am very experienced in micro-grows, as it's what i did before i upgraded to tents.

Also to note I have the money for the startup, ie heater and such if needed and the free time to closely document my findings. My growlogs are in my sig, thanks for consideration . I also have some very nice genetics i'd like to put to test under the LED!

Edit: Setup:


Some recent shots from the above setup:

I only have 600's and 250's HID's... I would be in for it otherwise though. I've always wanted to do a comparison.. Looking forward to some results!

[JamieShoes]

no coco promotion? ah well maybe next time


best of luck with your endeavours

a 400 is all these can compete with? Do any serious growers use these things? Give me one that can seriously compete alongside a 1000W HPS, and I'll put it in my 10,000W setup (Check out my journal)

[unclefishstick]

lets see,space to run the test...check


400 watt lamp...check


can grow.....check


I have no idea what my gram/watt is tho,but aside from that I feel I meet the qualifications for a tester. So I would like to toss my hat in the ring for the 205w side by side with 400w.Good luck and happy gardens to all!!

Link to current test grow in my sig!! enter the kitchen at your own peril

Maybe a side by side using your 250W HID against a 126W LED, as the footprints are fairly similar. I'd maybe consider this an option as well, so let me add it to the first post.

uncle would be a very good choice
