Who else is amazed and grateful for all of the modern advances in home grow equipment?

The tech is great until china trash ruins it and consumers that buy and support it. Those so called cheap china lights with so called Samsung diodes aren't Samsung for the most part. They are china knock off diodes advertising as Samsung. Why do you think Samsung is shutting down there led production? It's not worth their time to get ripped off by china and stupid North Americans and Europeans. After buying some of AC Infinity's new china junk.... And I knew better. I would pay more to go back to the 1970's and 80's for quality built lights, controls, fans and embrace the old tech and spend more for the needed power.

So Samsung manufacturers it's LED's in China and Korea so I don't know if it is fair to call them "Chinese knockoffs". I am all for American manufacturing, but i also buy what I can afford. And while everyone is entitled to their opinions, and I respect that, I would never want to take our grow tech back to the 70's and 80's. We have come too far to go back now. Part of developing as a grower is adapting to new things. Whether that be lights, automation, grow media, fertilizers, materials and so on. If a guy likes growing to HPS, I say rock on man, but I don't think I could ever personally recommend someone start their grow with MH or HPS. Unless they have special circumstances... maybe they live in a cold climate and want the light to help heat the grow area... idk.
