(6) Super Sun 2 Reflectors.
(4) 1,000 watt CoolStar ballasts by High Yield Lighting (quiet!).

Sweet! The tickets are free!
 
Looking AWESOME! I noticed the reservoirs are directly on the floor. Is the floor concrete? I had some issues of the water getting to like 45F*.

Hiya dongle, glad to see you here... your setup is truly inspiring.

Btw, how'd the enzyme experiment work out?

Thanks, glad to be here!
After 5 weeks of the enzyme test, the roots are all still there, but they are clean.
The pond enzyme is performing the same as the 60x more expensive Hygrozyme.

Hi Dongle, very nice work. I love a clean white room like that.

I am confused by one thing though. Looking at the 2nd pic down, I wonder why you positioned your lights the way you did with them being so far to the outside of the tray setup (both sides). It looks like half of the light throw (on the outside side) is just being wasted on the floor. I think I would have pulled them in about 8 inches toward the center on both sides so the sweet center spot of the lights was over the spot between the second and third row of plants in on either side. That's just me though; maybe you know something I haven't learned yet about light distribution.

Anyway, whatever works! Not criticizing, just wondering...
 
The pic is a bit deceiving.
The lights are almost right down the center of each half of the tables, just a hair to the outside because of the overlap in the middle.
I used a light meter to position them.
The light that spills over the side is weak.
The strongest light is right on the plants. :clap:
