When I first opened the box I was impressed with the overall quality of the light compared to several others I've owned. Love that there's no huge ballast, the all-in-one unit so much easier to set-up.
Penstemon starts also arrived in mail same day. Cannabis starts were already here under fluorescents. First night I realized the power of the light; got a bit too close to the starts. Too close to the sun! I raised the light another foot.

I merged your threads so they'd be together; no need for new threads every time.

Here we are 13 days later, well recovered... happy, happy, happy. Noticed excellent root structure when transplanting. Next stop... more controlled environment. Enjoying this forum more than I thought. An old dog groundskeeper can learn new tricks.
Electric bill. Check. Saving at least $20/month. Check. Plants look beautiful - no leaf drop PERIOD - ready to take starts then on to bloom. Love me some Solarstorm!
