Good for clones, small plants in veg, or in addition to other lights but couldn't produce much on its own.

Impressed.

Was my first time. I used hydrofarm recirculating systems with 2 plants. Got 2 medical clones with great genetics and played it pretty safe. Should have done a shorter cycle, but even with the long veg the 2 plants produced almost 2 oz's of high quality mmj. The light worked fine the only problem I had with it was the 3 cables used to hang it. I am limited on space and my tent is only 6 ft. My hydrofarm unit is like 14-16" so with the clearance needed for the cords I had to engineer another method to hang my light. It stayed cool and the plants really grew for it only being 90w. Im starting round 2 and probably just going strait into 6 day flower to see if I even need any veg time. The quantity wasn't ideal, but that is my fault i feel from taking it easy on nutrients. The Quality is great and the light helped with that for sure. I want to get another one at least and see how that works out, but for now Im doing ok with the 90w I believe.

We were fairly sceptical about using LED as so many sites / people / forums seem to be quite negative but after much umming and arring we thought 'let just go for it and see what we see' after just completing our first grow under the 90w illuminator and flower accelerator I can say with confidence that our scepticism was completely unfounded. The crystallisation is incredible and when looking at the buds under high magnification we just know that the smoke is going to be incredible too :-) we are so incorraged by the results that I have just ordered an additional 90w with a view of buying even more in the future. Any queries or concerns I had along the way I just picked up the phone and called prosource who were always happy to help. Thanks very much prosource team :-)

Potency is the best, yield not so much

They will tell you that you can over do it with LED's and "poison" the plants with light. This is non-sense. I have two 90's from them, and one flowering accelerator. The budding is obviously more potent. I can see the crystals and their color with my naked eye, which is new to me. You normally just can't see the crystals all over the plant. With these LED's everything is so frosty. They just don't yield much. The bud's are rather small. I have friends who bought a similar dual 180 watt setup from ProSource. They feel the same way. Their answer is going to be the same as mine, buy more lights. I have a small tent and those two 90's and the flower accelerator aren't enough. I could easily put the 350 watt in there and need more. That's what my friends are doing since they feel the same way I do. The potency is like nothing we've ever had before but the yield sure sucks. ******Reply from ProSource***** If your yield is off, there are usually 2 factors that attribute to this..>1.. Your temps are lower than 80 degrees (peak temp is 85)....2. you're using a soil medium that doesn't drain properly...>Since there's no heat coming off this light, you have to use a well-draining soil that doesn't retain water...,,,,this will cause root-rot and deprive oxygen to the root system. Several changes have to be made simply due to the fact there is no heat coming off this type of light system.. Please contact us for any further assistance on this matter...

Outstanding!!

I normally don't post reviews, but I felt compelled to do so after using this product. i see hooplah all over the internet about LED lights and how people say they're great and others say they are a big waste of money. We'll i'm here to add my 2 cents and say that they actually work extremely well. I have 3 of these 90W UFOs from 3 different companies and this Illuminator product blows away the other 2 lights by a long shot. I got just under 3 ozs from 1 plant with the Illuminator where the other 2 just barely got 3/4 ozs., with most of it being light and fluffy. The illuminator gave me compact buds of a descent size, so I can't complain at all, especially because I only used 90W of power to do it.. Don't waster your money on the cheapest UFO out there because you really do get what you pay for.. Good Luck!! Jeremy
