I'll do one of these for each week.
This time lapse speed was to try to get the seedlings, can't see much though they are so small. All future time lapse will be twice this speed, so a week in a minute or so roughly.

Just wanted to add that this light doesn't feel cheap at all. As soon as I lifted it out of the box it was much more solid and heavier than I had expected. It's got powder coated steel. Machined brass hanging mounts. The lenses are PMMA acrylic, and I'd say about as clear as it gets with the human eye. I actually had to ask because I thought it was glass and can't tell you what PMMA acrylic is. The fans aren't cheap quality either, they move some air for 1.6w. The fans pull in from the top, and out the side vents. I'll get a tempgun on it soon in an update. It also has some heft to it, coming in at 7.9 lbs. The 84X also has two drivers. Each has a dual power supply. So, one for each panel.

I guess not exactly like this. If you are alluding to the weight/quality comment? It weighs 8 pounds, I thought it would weigh about 2. I pretty much was expecting to see a cheap light imo, light plastic housing, cheap lightweight feel. It wasn't that.

The light was at 27" from cup top.
HGL recommended I move it to about 22", so I did.
