LED Game of Thrones: Will HLG's Samsung Quantum Boards be knocked from their top position in the LED industry, or will they reign supreme against the RGB white spectrum from HGL?
Hi everyone, I'm new here on behalf of my buddy HybridWay2 on RIU, who was the winner of a LED grow light giveaway from Hydro Grow LED. Due to his little personal time to respond to online forums, I am helping him by posting his weekly updates to other sites so the entire marijuana grow community can tune in for this showdown. While I can't share the link to his journal as this would violate the TOS of this site, if you want to search for it the title is "HLG vs HGL Side by Side Take Two".
I will be copying and pasting his updates to his main thread here, and will be available to answer most questions related to the test. So without further introduction, let the games begin!
HybridWay2: Before we begin id like to thank Cammie from HGL & Stephen from HLG for giving me/ us this oppertunity. Takes balls fir sure. Those of you who don't know, HydroGrowLed is back. Cammi has been Making Waves with a shocking display of light give aways to growers whom will mostly provide side by side documented grows vs. the TopDawg of RIU, voted by the community. Whom of course is no other then our very own, well known QuantumBoard Creator himself, drumrole pls..... @Stephenj37826 @robincnn. Proprietors of HLG.
So, there's so much to say about how like HGL is a founder of led grow lights over a decade ago breaking gpw's that we have a tough time with today. I remember believeing from memory that these are Not just Claims.
HLG, stepped up light distribution & electrical efficiency of their fixtures with the QB platform. Forcing many competitors to follow suit & creating a Monster QB trend. There are many who vouche for these boards & very nice grows to back them up. They have recently started to enhance their white spectrum using 630's & 660's as well as a higher K Temp., making a sweet full cycle grow light.
HLG uses a white phosphor based led as their Horticultural Lighting Solution, Whereas HGL uses Red/Green/Blue tech. Creating a spectrum specifically designed by the owner Cammi using a mathematical equation based on Nasa studies on tomatoes. Research Theory further backed up by A Plants absorption chart that appears pretty accurate & I think can be proven. Showing how much of each nm the plant uses & a ton of stuff she could explain better.
HGL'S lights are here & HLG'S new light will Premier here Thur or Fri I'm hoping. $5 admission! Lol! So we'll start with a little HGL since they're up n running for almost 2 days now in veg.
Short on time for intro but they'll be plenty more to follow.
HGL recommended & provided x4 of their 84x models (150w) 1'x1' panels using their 3x special lenses to cover a 4x4.
Only RGB is used in these lights.
Here's what my 4x4 would approx look like based on HGL's many par Charts.
My spacing will prob be a lil further tho.
Not bad coverage at all but for them its more about spectrum. Being the key to heavy yields & plant health. Cammi says this light quality is far more important then quantity/spread, or electrical system efficiency.
Correct me if I'm wrong anywhere HGL?
Came shipped fast, like real fast & was well packed with protective Foam & extra corners built onto the box. (I tore off)
This Package to cover a 4x4 is small & easy on shipping I'd imagine .
12"x12" Panels
105• Lens/Diode array
