Just figured I'd follow up on that light since it's been hanging for 3 days now. So far initial impressions blew my expectations of it away for the price. Their ppfd map is spot on to the par readings I took, it pulls 251watts from the wall (so probably closer to a 2500watt than a 2400), and the heat levels are actually lower than my 1500watt that it replaced. Even in the extreme corner of my 3x3 at 40" I'm still reading over 500. The 3 year US based warranty is a nice bonus as well for it, but hopefully won't even need it.

I dunno if my water meter is off or if my filter is fucked up, but I believe it said I pumped 160 gal of tap to get 4 gal of ro. Does that sound feasible? My water bill has doubled since last year and I've replaced the sediment, carbon and membrane. Once in March, and another about a week ago.

Time for new RO unit 1:1 per gallon are cheap now

Nice. Any photos?

Nothing but great experience with sunraise so far. There's no need to add that extra digit to the wattage.

As for the heat. My sunraise bar lights can literally run 18 hours straight and still be cool to the touch. It's a gift and a curse.

I think the last reading I took was over 600ppm on the 5 scale. That was a couple years ago, and it's gotta be a lot of calcium because I get terrible buildup on everything my water touches. I had gotten a Ninja coffee maker a few years back, and within a month it was clogged. Vinegar, de-scaler, clr, nothing got it working right again.

Illinois tap can be insane depending on where you are. I had shit everywhere on my first grow.

I hardly get 120ppms now.

I've seen humidifiers with some nice build in filters, then again 600ppm would be like asking them to pass a kidney stone.

More like passing a golf ball. Lol

I'm gonna get a carbon and sediment filter. I'm thinking I don't need ro for everything I got going like earthbox, humidifiers, etc. I'll just use the ro for hydro.

I agree that is also a blessing and curse, been a struggle to keep my tent above 72 with it when my other light stayed around 76 to 78 without any issues. Be nice come spring and summer for sure. IMG_20211112_170207.jpg

Love it.

I'll admit I'm not certain what uv does for the plants, but I do wish my sunraise lights had it.

Is that a bug over the fan?

How true it is or not I do not know, but from my research UV is for better root development. And yes, they were outdoor plants before I brought them into the tent so I brought a few Ladybugs in with me to handle any mites and gnats that could possibly be present. Was going to do an outdoor greenhouse grow over the winter, but ended up chasing the sun too much until I can take down a few trees after I buy the house.
