Sweet I'd appreciate that and agree with dstroy definitely an excellent idea
I designed mine to work with a Walmart fish aquarium pump a better pump would be easier 1/2 in. pvc is a bit large for the cheaper pump I bought a better pump & like the performance it just kinda gurgles & sputters as it spits out nutes & wets the hydroton I grew tomatoes in my first ones last year & the sour'd was in one until it got hot & my power failed but the thing was working quite well

According to CLW specs it's 200w. Ideally, we want 50w/sft, so probably good for a max of 2.5 x 2.5

I do like that it has settings for 4 stages,

Not meaning to rain on your thread, but...

Here are 2 plants under an Amare Tech SE 250 (250w) in a 3 x 3 within 2 weeks of harvest. They are more cola pheno, maybe taking up 2 x 2. They offer RIU members a 25% discount

yeah 3x3 coverage for bloom ain't gonna happen with 200w , you're amare I think pulls about 300w. the main reason I have this light is because of the deal I got ($349.00 open box) the osram chips @ 5w. total 275 if they were driven at the 5w. I've seen some other pics you've done all look top notch are you using the lenses? I'll know more about this light as I get growing I'm doing a single plant dwc with a Scrog

lenses should only be used when there is > 3ft above the canopy, so not in this tent, but I am in the tent with the p3

Very nice, I love to see a fellow LED grower. What strain? Looks sativy.

And also petflora his light dosnt just have 4 stages you can completely customize spectrum ratios, it's pretty cool.

My sour'd has rooted pretty good so I'm gonna try to get this kicked off it is not as developed as the doubledream but I'm gonna run with the underdog my cob room is doing well if all goes right I'll harvest about every 45 daysIMG_2208.JPGIMG_2209.JPG IMG_2195.JPG

I know yours dosnt have it, but the bulbs are really low wattage so it would be something that would be rather affordable to add that's looking pretty promising!

Edit: Low wattage and will run in common ballast.

More and more research supporting it, and I have a pretty significant increase in resin production as well as smell as my buddy with same clones

Why do I feel like a build up of little spiders in the room next to "the room" is a bad omen a couple weeks before harvest.....

By build up I mean I happen to notice 5 in between my light and washer. It's just not something I usually see..... like there's some hoard of herbivore insects i don't know about.....

Tonight's the night it's too hot out now to transplant but everything is in place except the Scrog which plugs into the milk crate base like tinker toys IMG_2210.JPGIMG_2211.JPG IMG_2212.JPG

it has officially kicked off the super sour'diesel is my choice & im really hoping I made the right decision as the doubledream is one of if not the most potent strain I've ever grown & ive been doing this for awhile from seed & clone alike the doubledream isn't gone just taking a break cause it's truely an exceptional cut I hooked up my drip ring & my light will kick on at 7 tonightIMG_2218.JPG

Subbed up man. I just cut my clone of pev2 down to the base for mainlining. We will see. First time trying it. But I think doing it with a rooted clone with 6 nodes already was key. As the first set of shoots were already over an inch long. So all I had to do was cut the center out, and remove the bottom shoots and fan leaves.
