Super Cropper back in action!

Hey brad,
Glad to hear you found the site. Yea, we do have a couple glowpanel 45s and a glowpanel 15 that we use for seedlings. They where our first purchases when we started LED growing, but i’ll be honest with you when we first got into this stuff we where very cash poor so we purchased all of our 10 UFOs from ebay (I know how much you guys in the business hate to hear that!). However, we were able to find a seller that we trust and so far our results have been pretty good with a wide variety of crops, although full-size tomatoes have eluded us.
Previously, I was contacted by another mainstream UFO LED company about doing some light tests, but when they heard that I wanted to put their lights against ebay purchased products they where less eager to help me to acquire their products. I guess they where scared.
Anyway, as far a selling your products either directly or via affiliate marketing we are somewhat interested, but currently the UHGU isn’t in that type of phase(notice our “.org” web addy). Our primary focus is getting more members/contributors to the site and growing the LED agriculture community by providing the proof that all the skeptics on the net say doesn’t exist. We are about to post an application to the homepage as we will be accepting 3 new members. This is why I say “somewhat” interested. Obviously we want to grow with and recommend the best products to our members. However, until I am able to verify for myself that something performs better (dollar for dollar) than what we currently have, I am unlikely to recommend anyone but our current seller.
It is, however, great to see that you guys are active in checking out the LED agriculture community on the net. Any knowledge/expertise that you guys have would be a welcome contribution to the UHGU community and since I’m an SEO guy as my day job I’d be willing to post any anchor link you want in exchange for an article or post that could help us accomplish our goals.
I don’t want to be too direct, but over the past year I’ve seen so many LED companies talk about all of their “tests” without seeing anything close to the scale that we have accomplished (in a spare bedroom in a couple of apartments). The truth is that any LED company that could produce a body of evidence like we have would not only be seen as the market leader, but as the market dominator. I suspect that this has yet to happen due to that fact that the market forces that drive the indoor growing industry are (how can I put this lightly) “underground”. The goal of the UHGU is to show potential hobbyists that indoor growing with LEDs is a economically viable alternative to a backyard garden when you live in an urban environment.
