So today is like day 39ish and I harvested.
Quite a bit of nice lettuce. Again I didn't like the looks of the butter crunch so shit canned them. I am pretty picky on my greens. :bigjoint:

Shot of the full breakdown all manicured up and also the head I would consider the prize winner of the bunch and a single random leaf for scale. We aren't growing bonsai's here!

If I had to buy a chicken ceaser salad from your road stand for my fam of 4. What would I have to pay so that your costs of this 35 day run were covered with a 30 percent profit? Using this tech what is the cost per hole to run? Great setup!

Finally some true "Light Only Variable" side by side growing coming up shortly! :hump:

Ok, so it is finally happening and I am getting this rolling.
This round brings a new tent where I can finally test "Lighting" as the single variable.
Plants will share the reservoir of nutrient solutions so those parameters are equal between the two sides.
9 plants on each side with a doubled up Panda Film divider
Loaded up the rock wool cubes with their seeds this evening and will report back for day 1 once we have germination.
Lighting this round is 2 HydroGrow LED 42X's. The standard X4 spec on the left and the Customized for OneHitDone spec on the Right.

In the future there will be other models and brands of lights cycling in and out of this tent on my quest to find "My perfect LED Spectrum" grow lamp so stay tuned!

Here we go... Day 1 of the 42X vs 42X 5%-10%-85% side by side.
I seeded a bit heavy so there was some serious competition between germinating seeds causing a bit of stretch. that should sort itself out now that I thinned them down to singles.
Lights are both set at 23" from the Rock Wool cubes

Day 7 update for the 42X vs 42X Spectral Showdown.

A bit stretchy on the 5%-10%-85% side still.
In all honestly I am leaning towards the stock spectrum as being superior and that round 1 with it was just under TOO high of an intensity out of the gate.
Time will tell!

Day 11 and it's Go Time in the 42X vs 42X spectrum shoot out.
Seedlings were transferred into the NFT system this evening just as in the previous runs on day 11.
Once again I would like to thank HydroGrowLeds for the interest in the science behind this project and ponying up for the equipment to make this happen :hump:

The altered spec with less blue is on the right in the seedling pics (5%-10%-85%)
Lights will be maintained at 22" to canopy this round.
