Just a quick post about room climate. Temperatures and humidity are looking perfect, I only gained about 3 to 5 degrees Fahrenheit after adding the SolarStorm 400w, which was a plus in my situation because I sometimes fell into the mid 60's with the Magnum.
Update: Damn this light works great!!!!! Bud formation and overall health on these 2 plants is amazing, not to say that is all due to the SS400w, but I think it does have a lot to do with the progress on these plants. I took some more pictures with regular lighting so everyone can see the health and plant formation better than under the LED, only wish I had a better camera. One more thing, the first set of pictures are of the Tutankhamon and the last 4 are of the Liberty Haze. Come on all, lets hear some feedback.
No, it can't ALL be due to the SS but it does have those 5w diodes for better penetration so I bet it's mostly due to the SS.
Everything looks really healthy so I assume all of the environmentals are OK. Keep on keeping on.
P.S. I see BDU's in a couple of those pics, thank you for your service...

Hey SME, you are going to laugh when I tell you this, but those BDU's are my daughters, she is a bit of a tomboy and likes to dress in army fatigues sometimes. I hope I didn't lead you on with those pics.
I guess I shouldn't have assumed they were yours...my bad. I do appreciate all of my brothers and sisters though...

SME, are you the only person who makes comments on this site? I have not gotten any feedback from anyone else but you, but I have gotten quite a few views. It doesn't seem like the forum community does a whole lot of communicating with each other, just you. Well if it means anything SME, I appreciate you looking and commenting on my posts even if it is your job.
It seems like it sometimes but no. I certainly have the most posts here. There are others that comment, just not many and many that do the GFP either quit early or quit right after they finish their journals. My "job" (not paid) is not to comment but to moderate, keeping spammers out and rules enforced. I comment to help growers get better results because I enjoy it and I've been growing a long time. When I first got here there were only a handful of comments, this site has never been "high (no pun intended) volume." When they added the CLW section and CLW started their GFP the amount of people and posts increased quite a bit but not many hang out for long and few comment much on other journals. Can you imagine how dead it would be here if I didn't help growers? I think that many never read anything here other than the CLW GFP section too.

Yeah, I poke around a bit and make comments sometimes, but sometimes it seems like a ghost town out there. I actually thought I was in Wyoming again while wandering around, I drove like a hundred miles before I found a town that had anyone to talk to, and then they wouldn't talk to me because I was such a stranger to them, but then we smoked a joint together, and both of us became silent. Ha Ha! By the way SME, how long have you been growing for?
