Since I over dried my last batch, this is currently in a pizza box in the refrigerator, trying to slow dry it for a week before I attempt to press my next temple ball
All these Chinese brands dumping out the same shit, prob coming from the same factory/business park as well, just another label. Definitely cool stuff though! Something growers back in the day could only dream about!
Vivosun is an American founded company started in California.
All of the product testing and refinement happens at their LA area headquarters.
Their production does indeed happen in China unfortunately, as with most hydroponic companies.
I do wish more manufacturing happened right in the USA, but unfortunately with regulations and cost to produce I understand why most companies choose to do it overseas.
And as far as the quality of the product of us, I wouldn’t call it “shit”
I feel like that’s a big misconception most people have about Vivosun (or at least I’ve personally heard some people talk down on them) but I decided to ignore what I had heard and try them out for myself, and I have been nothing but happy with every one of their products.
Customer support is based out of the USA as well. I had a slight issue with my humidifier thinking it was out of water when it was not and turning off. After a short conversation and me sending them a video of the problem they very quickly sent me a whole new top unit without requesting the previous one back.
The previous unit has since stopped the problem that it had so I am continuing to use it unless it starts to act up again and now I have a brand new one to just swap in if that does happen.
Yeah you’re right, ‘shit’ sounded a bit negative in that sense (the products are def nice please don’t get me wrong), just meant similar products in that way..
Vivosun, MarsHydro, ACinfinity, SpiderFarmer etc. are all similar products/brands, most likely coming from the same places in China, just different branding, that’s all. It’s very smart what they do though (and cover the whole market), and yeah the labeling and ‘design’ might happen in Cali for some, but that’s just also a smart way to get confidence from global consumers imo
Good luck with the new run! Looking forward to seeing the results soon, all the best bro
With Vivosun like I said the fans have been on 24/7 since the day I got them and they still work like the day I turned them on.
BUT my humidifier had an issue where it was saying the tank was out of water when it wasn’t. The issue happened a few times over the course of a week so I got in contact with customer support and within just a couple of days, they sent me an entire replacement free of charge and did not even ask me to send the one I was currently using back. They just wanted a photo of the units serial number to check for potential defects in that production batch.
Full transparency, that auto daiquiri lime has been kicking my ass.
The amount of defoliation work that has been required to really do it justice… It’s just not something that I’ve been able to keep up with having as busy of an as busy of an schedule as I do unfortunately.
I’ve just been ashamed to show it off.
I’ve been trying to catch up on it, but it’s still far from what its real potential was.
And this has still required hours and hours of defoliation.
My game plan for my next run is to try to cut down on the amount of time that I’m spending doing defoliation, so I will be doing more plants, but less training.
