This thread is for anyone running the OR/4 UV/V bars on their system.
I have been running 3 at 100% for 6hrs a day at just over 3 months now. Color is getting better from my observation and growth is increasing.
When the Photons are on color is enhanced. When the photons wind down color is definitely more pronounced.
My hungs rainbow is now getting to slowly look like it should and has started to grow upward finally after encrusting. It was a fresh cut frag when I got it.
I use my Oregon tort as a reference for color. It maintains that true blue color I am used to on previous builds running halides or led systems.
This is a current pic of my system.
