So been in vegetative mode for 3 weeks. Tomarrows resivor change and nutes will bee week 4 of veg. So far can't say enough about clw customer service and the solar storm 400. Vegetative growth began with cfl x4 @150w each. X 2 weeks solar storm was applied between week 2-3. Since growth has been explosive with some heat issues. Heat issues were easily fixed with oscillating fan at plant level and exhaust in top of stealth cabinet.
Ph 5.5-6.0
PPM 350 will be up to 500 tomarrow
Water temp mostly below 70 but hit 80 before fans

So vegetative growth with the solar storm was awesome! Got a handle on the heat situation. Had some curling early on when switched to the LED. Totally user error and easily corrected with moving the light up to the suggested 12-18" 
any who the canopy penetration has been more than remarkable. Sorry took a bit to re post but will step up the posts as we're into flowering. As well we had company recently and had to sneak in and out of the box. Furthermore I feel good about buying a American made product in this economy

Week 3 flowering. Really sucking up the water and nutes with the dwc. Temps easily maintained in cabinet with negative pressure exiting the system from above light. Trimmed her up and light continues to penetrate canopy enough to produce more sites below trim line. Hoping for a great harvest. Kudos to clw

You can re-size the photos or adjust the camera options to save smaller pictures.
