Trying to get a “full length” pic and this shows how “white” I run my peak photoperiod.
My two white channels and four blue channels are set to the same intensity for 5 hours peak. The only channel that isn’t the same is Royal Blue which is set 20% lower.

Missed 10 pages today. May or may not read all of them. Whatever the case, I do hope everyone had a good day and is enjoying the holiday weekend.

More importantly, though, this post is meant to serve as a BIGTIME HAPPY BIRTHDAY, to my friend John! I hope you are able to spend some time doing what you love with those you love today! 🎉🥳

May the upcoming year prove to be the best of your life, so far! 🍄
Man this means the world to me. Thank you, friend.

Guys I'm super excited! I found a place that is an hour from me that the man and his wife have a very impressive amount of freshwater fish and plants and shrimp that they breed and sale that I can go to! They have a fish room that they show by appointment and they seem very nice. I wish I had found them before I placed an order for 80 shrimp and some more plants. I will for sure be going to visit hopefully soon.
