So, since I had the day off… (due to impending beryl remnants) it was time for a feed. Mixed up my gallons 2x 5gpg and went down below… I opened both tents and I wasn’t satisfied with the look. “Lights are the problem” my stoned mind said. The lights over the wild things seemed dull… I mean underpowered. They were in the Mars hydro tent under the FC-E 4800. And I had yet to reinstall the HLG 600 rspec in the other tent.
Fuckery ensues!
I removed the FC-E4800 from the wildthing tent and reinstalled the HLG 600 rspec over them. Big difference! The bar style seemed dim compared to the HLG. 600rspec is on click #4 from off. The 4800 was 100%. I removed the kingbrite from the auto tent, had to lower the hangers 1 foot and installed the 4800 in place of the 600 rspec (that should’ve gone back in that tent). There is a reason I did this… the controller for the mars hydro exhaust fan is (non-PC) learning disabled! No matter what setting it’s on the fan runs on low. I can set it to high but would suck the moisture clean out of the plants. On, auto, manual, don’t matter… the fan runs. So since the HLG runs hotter, I figured that would take care of lower temps I’ve been fighting and also add some good flowering lumens! Got pics for example…

Big color difference! And more light!
