Change of plan on the next Elite run, reworked the red bars to include some blue to fill the dip in the spectrum a bit. The bars are now 6-475nm, 6-495nm, 14-630nm, 10-660nm, had to lose 4 reds because the blues draw more voltage and the driver is near it's limit. The plants were at day 19 when I added the bars, wanted the extra stretch early to help fill the screen.

Very nice ......
What is your current power for that setup .?

Is trellis setup like a door frame ?

Definitely seeing more multispec colors in builds lately. Lookin good.

The 9 elites pull 561 watts at the wall and the added bars pull 74 watts atw, so 635 watts total atw on a 5 x 5 screen for 25.4 watts per sq/ft.
The screens are movable on wheels, there's pics in this thread.

Garden looking tight as normal @captainmorgan ! What exactly is it that you feel is missing from the Elite spectrum that stands to be improved upon?

Nothing concrete, another elite user mentioned a drop in yield and I noticed a small drop also. Next run I added some red bars I had with a 50/50 mix of 630/660. The weight was back but I noticed some added stretch of the buds structure which I believe was too much 660. By reworking the bars to include a little blue to fill the dip and back off the 660 I was hoping to strike a balance. This is all speculation on my part by reading the plant and only time will tell if I'm on the right track. The quality of the smoke is up to par so I'm just experimenting with bag appeal I guess.

Have you thought about adding reflective material behind your vertical system?

I found some textured mirror Mylar that works great.

I figured you would have them dialed in.
What does the FTG smell like? Any different with the addition of the red and blue?

Yeah it's been a weird start to the season, the pats offense has lots of injuries but that defense may be something special. The defense is putting up historic numbers but they haven't played a top team yet.

∆∆∆∆∆Man, nothing like a clean room..... Less pests and fungal issues.

Not betting against the pats this season, I thought maybe Dallas, but we all saw last night's game..... Cringe

Yeah I think Dallas is ok but nothing special, they may make the playoffs but won't go far, Philly has a ton of talent, not sure what their problem is. I released rove beetles over a year ago and shut the garden down twice since then but they are still here in even bigger numbers. They colonized the whole house and any soil dwelling pests don't stand a chance, my new favorite predator insect. I can't remember the last time I saw a fungus gnat so they must be living off springtails. I also run UV in air circulating duct work so I'm covered for the most common garden problems.

Interesting, that they stick around when food source becomes scarce? Or do you reintroduce?

You know Wentz isn't going to stay healthy...... But we'll see

Edit. ...uv bulb before HVAC filter?
