LED Brand comparisons

I inherited my dad’s 78 KZ1000LTD when he died, and I picked up the Z900 retro sport even it came to the states in '18. Nicest bike I’ve ever ridden.

I just got a good price offered to buy a new v4 301R spec.
Actually a very good price, Would that suit me until I got a second in a month or so?

Haha, was a little “high on my own supply” last night.
And I missed your question about what system am I running.

I made up my own deep water culture system using 25L buckets, fitted baskets in through the lids.
Each pot has overflow pipe into a separate 25L plastic drum as a catch tank and if I set the timer to the drum being close to full, it increases the system fluids capacity to just under 150L total (seems the best Way for me to be confident that they won’t run dry until after 5 days).
I was drip feeding them for a while, but it seemed to make the root system a bit lazy and the plants would not have a good rooting system to be sturdy enough for the buds so I now go straight to the buckets, each bucket is fitted with a oxygen stone and valve to ensure even distribution among each of them.
I run twin thermostats, one for the exhaust fan and the other to restrict the inside blowing fan when the temperature is too low.
I have the choice of MH and HPS 600w

My medium is clay balls on top and bottom of course then finer perlite, last time I used Coco coir and will be returning to that next generation.
It seems a bit safer than perlite when going unchecked for such periods of time.
That’s what I have evolved the system to over a couple of months trying to find the best reliability.
Always open to suggestions!
Cheers

Well guys I have invested in a couple of the discussed lights and have installed them in the tents, they are dimmable units fitted with 301h led’s.
Any suggestions from experience what stages of growth the plants prefer the % of power to be set at?
Do they have particular requirements, or is it ok to leave the lights on 100%?
Using artificial light is new to me but I want to get the most out of everything in the setup.
Cheers :snake:
