UFO Grow Light_Light Bleaching/Deficiency

Here is a recent question I sent to a seller/manufacture? of UFO grow lights from China.


 


 


I have purchased a 135 and 150 w from your company and have had problems with both of these lamps bleaching my plants yellow two different times and I am very confident that the lights are toxic or deficient. You claim that you are a manufacturer and have done extensive testing to advertise that they work. At this point I do not believe this is true and I would like some proper answers on how to fix this problem. My plants were 3 wks old in the growing phase, were started under 5000-6500K compact fluorescent and moved under your lights (.5m away)for a 16hr cycle. They started dark green and then when put under your lights new leaves came out yellow and would not turn green until they were put under a traditional light source where after 1-2 weeks week new green leaves emerged and the old yellow leaves dryed up and fell off. This has caused me a lot of trouble and I hope that other people are not having the same trouble.


 


I am very frustrated after 2 months of experimenting with these lights. An intermediary contact responds with maybe not getting enough blue light and should maybe move closer. From the research I hear about light bleaching the light must be started further away and moved closer if it is to intense. I don't know if it is too intense or deficient in light frequencies.


 


I bet there would be no Paypal recourse for this one. Maybe I can use them for eradicating and sterilizing produce before eating? They certainly don't grow plants very well.


 


Anybody else have this problem?

Just re-read the original post and I'm LOL.


 


That is hands down the funniest post I've read in a long time.

After consuming the irradiated  product that you grow - is there an irrational need to laugh and/or get the munchies?

So sorry, I just can't stop! - last one, honest.  I don't like Brownies (too sweet) but I do remember in my "youth" enjoying them and laughing the afternoon away - with friends......or ALONE!!

Limey's post reminds me of the old Barney Miller episode where the squad ingested the Hash Brownies with hilarious results.

I  think the OP may need a hand harvesting his tomato crop.


 


To heck with eBay, i heard the tomato business is very lucrative.

This is reminding me of that Simpsons episode where Homer grows "Tomacco"


 


Imagine growing a crossbreed with the OP's crop in mind....Tomajuanas......Mariomatos!!


 


Heck now I'm imagining Mario and Luigi leaning against a mushroom in nintendo land eating Mariomatos!! Looking up at Princess trapped in a tower and giggling uncontrollably.


 


LOL...time to shut my mind off!

What are you growing? I have no experience with such lights.

Everyone assumes this guy is growing weeds. When you judge someone, you don't define them, you define yourself.


 


There is many legitimate and legal reasons why people grow plants under artificial lights, but that may be beyond cognitive capacity of those who can only think of weed.


 


Why to switch from well working fluorescent setup to some funny Chinese LED lights? Luminous efficiency is similar to LED, so there is not much of power savings.

OK:


 


I agree the whole thing was pretty funny and was not a waste of time as far as entertainment is concerned and I don't feel so bad because nobody really cares.


 


Maybe I should forward my problem to some real experts at NASA and they might have the answers. I wonder what they have been growing while orbiting the planet with their LED grow lights ?????????


 


I wonder what the natural laws in space are about growing stuff?


 


😮
