great white shark (indica-dominant) was outgrown and was shaded by the silver haze for a while so until i popped in the T5 side lighting. could've been heavier/frostier if it was more directly lit by HPS, but i'm not complaining! nice dense buds with great aroma.

this solid state fan speed controller is the BOMB! it's not a stepper (HI-MED-LO). you can actually dial it into any speed you want with no hum, no vibration, no heat. i have my air cooled reflectors on one and the room exhaust on another, both 6" ~400cfm fans. makes regulating temperature a breeze as long as outside temp isn't too far out of range.
