I been looking at UVA/B supplemental light bars for flowering. I have the HLG in my cart but decided to window shop. Found something really cool and called em on it. The MetaRail from AgricUltra is nice. They typically sell to commercial growers but Emil said he would make an exception as they are already in the process of trying to establish a retail side for us small timers. He is gonna send me a quote but gave me the heads up it will not be cheap. We shall see what cheap means to him.
It has 280-290 nm and 365 to 385 nm.

I’m gonna start a soil seedling tutorial. Too many new growers struggling with simply leaving them alone for 2 weeks. It is so easy to pop a seed and get it to grow cuz um they gotta do it. We can do nothing but give em a place to do it. One of the stages I do not like since I cant futz with her yet.

@dbrn32 I am looking at grabbing the HLG30 on my way home from work tonight. I have the option for the 120 or 240v power. What is the difference besides the obvious? TIA

No worries. I grabbed the 120. Dude said with 240 it is more efficient due to less amperage but for lil ol me wont make a dif.
If i can get it to fit, gonna mount it to the underside of the 350r along the inside edge which would center it in the tent.

Sorry i missed you earlier!

These are literally the same light with a different plug on end of cord. You can look at nameplate on driver and input voltage will be a range something like 100-300vac. Same driver will typically work on 120, 208/230, 240, and 277. You are unlikely to have 208/230 or 277 in a home as the are 3 phase variations, but the drivers will take it.

I don’t know how much current has to do with it. If you double voltage you halve current but VA or watts are still the same. Most drivers do run 1-2% more efficient at high voltage, but i think its just because the nature of internal circuits.

And the difference a day makes with these girls is amazing. She did not skip a beat and as always with the transplant, she exploded and Wednesday (tomorrow) will be the 3 day bounce back. I will post comparison pics of the same orientation of the plant from day of and 3day rebound.

Make it a Great Day!!!

I want to live in the trunk of a Giant cannabis tree in a warm mist rain forest where all plants are of many different cannabis types and the fungi are of the cubensis variety.
