Dude you are WAY to accommodating, I would have demanded that rubbish pay for the courier to collect. I'm sorta trying to understand why you have been so okay with this monogloids service, he sends you a broken unit, ignores your calls, you then need to go to the vendor to get some resolution, only then does he actually call you or whatever then still demands you pay for it. Is that shylock at at least going to pay for the shipping to you?

Honestly just get the ones from Alibaba, they work perfectly fine. Spending like 18,000 (with shipping and duties) for 500 watts is madness, you can get 1200 (true watts) for around the same price from alibaba. I had 5 320 watt panels, sold one to @master_g and still got 4 for my main tent. You can ask him about the performance of it. The only crappy thing about them is the dimmer unit, its crap. But I'm busy designing a controller for them and will also be writing the firmware, so when is done I'm more than happy to release the schematics or even build one for whoever wants one.

Yes its a gimmick, the only way you'll ever get a proper measurement is using gas chromatography / spectrum chromatography.

I've been burnt trying new soils, so I'll stick to what I know and what works for me.

Yeah, not to be funny, but I'd tell him to ship out the replacement first.

If he does not replace it Gavita must revoke his reseller rights, the fucken rubbish. I did business with Zane once, I regretted it ever since.

Best you make sure it’s 100% clean else you’re going to have acetone in your liver

I've been tempted to start asking him if he has any intention of selling broken quantum boards as well.

He's not going to reply, if he does not even reply to the client.

You should fight for your money back from Zane.

Maybe one of the other resellers can perhaps give you a replacement and they claim it from Gavita, I doubt GtHydro would but maybe Growguru, it would be good PR

Blast it on their face book profile.

Yes they do its in the South, I've dealt with Hydro herb and Zane before, he is the biggest shill out there. I avoid him like the plague.

They look good and the fact they run their lights through goniospectrophotometer is also reassuring, my only concern is there is not much technical data sheets on the types of diodes used (not the temperature).

Wifi controlled lights have been out long before ScynceLed came into the picture, but their lights are very nice. I'm waiting for pricing on two Raging Kush's.

Are you running the driver inside or outside the tent? Reduce the wattage and get them closer.

Looking awesome!

So did an initial harvest to see how far the seeds were, I got a decent amount off of about 3/4 small branches, but still many immature. So they will be going for about another two weeks.

You’re not going to get white pistols, you’ve got a rogue male or a hermie somewhere pollinating the crap out of her.

So do I

You build it, i'll code it

I've spent time designing a similar system, primarily to control all my grow components. Just never got around to actually building the hardware side of it. Primarily due to laziness.

Thankfully its the dark cycle you don't really want to interrupt, as that is when the plants do most of their growing. As long as you don't have extended periods of dark in veg your plants will be fine, otherwise they'll switch to flower. I have been thinking about this a lot and thinking about getting a genny and lights and all that jazz. But decided its more effort than its worth.
