I cannot effectively put into words just how absolutely stoked I am right now.
First impression out of the box... "holy shit, its a beast!" That's the arch into the powder room, so bigger than a standard door frame lol.
Going to have to play with my camera settings, I was having to compensate for the magenta cast from the old light. Had to take a break as I got super dizzy with all the reaching and looking up and lifting and such
thankfully hubby was off today so I had help, I wouldn't have been able to get it done without help lol.
Everyone back in the tent and their new places.
Eye in the sky is up and running! Had to reposition it and adjust the camera settings on this one as well.
You can tell just by looking in the tent with your naked eye the huge different in both brightness and the color of the spectrum on the light! But the fact that my camera settings have to be changed completely definitely proves it @Les @HLG to say I'm thrilled is an understatement. I told you after running that 100w RSpec I won I had no question on who to go with for my upgrade. I cannot wait to see how the ladies do with it!

Serious upgrade you did there. 
Thank god your hubby was there to help as those frames are to big to handle with only two hands.

Thanks! I figured I'm getting to a point where a better light is worthwhile. Really need to get a PAR meter now though so I can dial in my DLI
don't want to fry the ladies!
Two minutes, I was gone for two damn minutes and "putting up two boards" turned into taking down wallpaper first 
Post wallpaper removal, almost finished. Used 50# rated drywall anchors for the screws that didn't hit studs. Going to have to find a way to add space between the carbon filter and the exhaust fan, as the motor sticks out about half an inch below the ceiling. Was going to use some sort of small HVAC filter but I found that cabin air filters are a much better fit size wise. Also *much* more sturdy/substantial. I'll figure out some sort of housing for it.
Done finally! Still need to clean up but I am calling it cause it's almost 3am, and also I'm really freaking exhausted.
Bathroom lights on, no grow light. Not gonna lie, being able to use the toilet as a chair while I work on her is really really nice lol. Off white sheet vinyl may not be my style but it is really nice for a grow room floor! Probably will hang a white shower curtain liner across in front of the cabinets cause they're swallowing up a LOT of light, or I may just double sided tape poster board to the cabinets (they are NOT getting painted lol), and I'm gonna get some flat white paint so it doesn't look so janky with the bare plaster, but I don't think it ended up half bad! Pulled her down a bit just to get an idea of what I'm working with in terms of positioning and such.

It may be a placebo effect but I swear the ladies look much more perky tonight. The light distribution on this thing is nuts! The little photos I'm using as my testers for the @GreenLifeBiotics all got .5ml of the Enhance MC Kelp microbial and .1ml of the GLB Micro DS. 1gal ended up being a bit much for just them so I went ahead and gave the rest of the ladies a sip. Bruce did NOT get watered as I will be receiving my scrog net tomorrow and I want as little turgidity as possible when I'm doing any serious bending, especially considering how dense her branches are now. Didnt get "official" pics of her for today, but there's plenty from today posted lol.
