hey headshake,
On my last few posts I wasn't trying to answer every question, instead just a couple from each person, with the majority of them being khyber's. As far as me stating that this kind of site doesn't necessarily cater to the customer base involved on these sites, it still kind of stands. If you can't find something that convinces YOU to buy it, then don't; this survey was just suppose to be an initial probe to see what the interest is in these type of units. I'm sure the design will be changed anyways before production models come out. As far as the ballast, it's built in the USA and is rated for 1000 watts. Concerning it's coverage, I know from their previous test and where they got their initial idea that one 600w was sufficient for the exact dimensions that defines this unit, and the yield was large enough to pay for this unit three to five fold depending on where you live.

As far as throwing away money is concerned then you've probably been had just like the majority of hydro growers on the high mark ups and unsubstantiated claims. I know that this company is just about to start a journaled grow with this unit that will include details and photos. They're doing this to show that the unit works before people even have to consider buying it. As far as the price, I don't know what to say, except that if you scroll back it says "tentative" as a rough prediction because final costs haven't been calculated.

It sounds like you're offended in some way too. The "shitty mock-up" was a solidworks drawing just to give people an idea of what the systems looked like. I had an actual photo posted but was instructed by the company to take it down until further notice.

Have you had a lot of work with vertical growing, because to be honest it doesn't sound like you quite understand some of the concepts involved that would be apparent if you had worked with a vertical grow. I say this with respect.
