Well I couldn't help myself the other night and ordered a Grasshopper,did I fall for the hype?
Honestly, I can't say, but I hope not. Hopefully you don't wait as long as me and @puffenuff ....I preordered in November 2014, with an originally estimated ship date of May 2015 O_OWell I couldn't help myself the other night and ordered a Grasshopper,did I fall for the hype?
Once there lived an ant and a grasshopper in a grassy meadow.
All day long the ant would work hard, collecting grains of wheat from the farmer’s field far away. She would hurry to the field every morning, as soon as it was light enough to see by, and toil back with a heavy grain of wheat balanced on her head. She would put the grain of wheat carefully away in her larder, and then hurry back to the field for another one. All day long she would work, without stop or rest, scurrying back and forth from the field, collecting the grains of wheat and storing them carefully in her larder.
The grasshopper would look at her and laugh. ‘Why do you work so hard, dear ant?’ he would say. ‘Come, rest awhile, listen to my song. Summer is here, the days are long and bright. Why waste the sunshine in labour and toil?’
The ant would ignore him, and head bent, would just hurry to the field a little faster. This would make the grasshopper laugh even louder. ‘What a silly little ant you are!’ he would call after her. ‘Come, come and dance with me! Forget about work! Enjoy the summer! Live a little!’ And the grasshopper would hop away across the meadow, singing and dancing merrily.
Summer faded into autumn, and autumn turned into winter. The sun was hardly seen, and the days were short and grey, the nights long and dark. It became freezing cold, and snow began to fall.
The grasshopper didn’t feel like singing any more. He was cold and hungry. He had nowhere to shelter from the snow, and nothing to eat. The meadow and the farmer’s field were covered in snow, and there was no food to be had. ‘Oh what shall I do? Where shall I go?’ wailed the grasshopper. Suddenly he remembered the ant. ‘Ah – I shall go to the ant and ask her for food and shelter!’ declared the grasshopper, perking up. So off he went to the ant’s house and knocked at her door. ‘Hello ant!’ he cried cheerfully. ‘Here I am, to sing for you, as I warm myself by your fire, while you get me some food from that larder of yours!’
The ant looked at the grasshopper and said, ‘All summer long I worked hard while you made fun of me, and sang and danced. You should have thought of winter then! Find somewhere else to sing, grasshopper! There is no warmth or food for you here!’ And the ant shut the door in the grasshopper’s face.
Nice portrait of @a mongo frog lol
It's being used on the banana plant, and the plants were too short this winter due to the cold. Been thinking about it thoughHey Brother I Noticed That Your Not Running Your Under Canopy Cob. Is Their A Reason ?
My Question Is What You Going To Do With The Banana's? LMAOIt's being used on the banana plant, and the plants were too short this winter due to the cold. Been thinking about it though
hahaha....idk if it will ever make a banana, but that would be pretty awesome if it did!My Question Is What You Going To Do With The Banana's? LMAO
Do You really Think It Helps, I've Been Thinking Of Doing The Same Thing
Well I Really Like Banana Nut Bread. Can You Wife Cook?hahaha....idk if it will ever make a banana, but that would be pretty awesome if it did!
Yeah, I really think it helped. If things get too full for good party cup lighting, I'll take one of those 3590's and put it on the floor till the end of the compI Really since I can't add or remove lights till then.
I thought you were using reflectors? But yeah, idk, I guess you just gotta try it out!Well I Really Like Banana Nut Bread. Can You Wife Cook?
Ok I Didn't Know If Would Be Too Bright Beings Its So Close. With My Vero Setup I've Notice That I'm Getting A Real Deep Canopy Penetration.
I Am Brother Which Is Why I'm Not Getting Any Bleaching. IMHO Its The Lens That Cause Bleaching And Not Any Individual Color. Damn I Do Love My Reflector'sI thought you were using reflectors? But yeah, idk, I guess you just gotta try it out!
Interesting. I'm getting light bleaching with my module with lenses in veg- and under the one without them, too. Distance varies; lenses do it a few inches further away.I Am Brother Which Is Why I'm Not Getting Any Bleaching. IMHO Its The Lens That Cause Bleaching And Not Any Individual Color.

Brother my Next Build Is A 60 Watt Passive Bare Cob For This Very Same ReasonI'm not using anything-I like the very intense, unfocused light The plants can get pretty close without reflectors, especially if they're off-center to the light beam. That helps for my small space
Your Getting Beaching With A Panel That Has No Secondary Lens?Interesting. I'm getting light bleaching with my module with lenses in veg- and under the one without them, too. Distance varies; lenses do it a few inches further away.
I'm extremely happy with the light distribution pattern the lenses are giving me in bloom, in this case the canopy is 24" from the lights.
