I know your getting good results with your IG, so don't take this as anything other than making sure you have the correct info...

check what you posted in the tags 420 thread you showed pics of 700 umole/s with out pontoons and 800 umole/s with pontoons . You told me several times the pontoons increase par by 100 umole/s . Growers house will be testing it shortly. I've asked them several times. They finally responded.

Yes...by hand when it was hanging without an official measurement. The one I just posted was hung and setup over the tray footprint @18" specifically to measure for output knowledge.

I just went back to the tags high efficiency thread when I was giving in use measurement...with the pontoon the most it got to was 506µmols and wasn't at 18"... just under it....

A little update
Pontoon is on. I like the idea of disconnecting the battery for the 730's. Otherwise 24/0 it is.

The pontoon bumped it up from 420µmols.

I requested that way before you IGs have UV and phytochrome.... far red lights out and dimming BOOM) Shall I say better bang for buck on coverage.

that just goes to show cri over par is more important... I'm blown away by what my 9lb goo berry pheno is doing. I've still been skeptical about 13/11. It didn't do as well the first time. But buds did double in size in 5 days after dropping back to 12/12. My theory. Longer on 13/11 cycle, the planty stores more energy. Then dropping to 12/12, the plants explode over the next week. Double or triple in size. Then ripen the following week or 2 and still swell a little more. Mine are day 38 today. flipping back to 12/12 in 4-5 days. so we'll see.

So maybe the Solarstorm 440 for 900$ would be better even though it's not advertised as full cycle? Was debating adding 2 Kessil purple 150..

The 440 has veg or bloom switch. Better.
