I Read the phillips bulbs are top notch.
They're are good but the spectrum isn't anywhere near to solos tek. Me and a few other farmers recently made the switch and couldn't be happier.

In no way am I saying yours is shit bro, they are great lights just prefer the solis tek spectrum.

Plants are looking good!

your at 1220 ppm ? wow !
Yes sir. Im on a .7 scale. Believe it or not, I started them at 800ppm in veg and had nutrient deficiencies. I usually never go over 1000ppm. I am a fan of less is more but these sour diesel are something else. i actually have my res initially set at 1250ppm. After one week of feeding it dropped to the 1220ppm so in theory i could actually go higher on the ppm. No nute burn at all. They are nutrient whores!!

Can you post a few of yours? You've gotta be seeing lots of development by now.

Did a little work today. Weekly reservoir flush and tied down some tops that were a little to tall for my liking. The gavitas I've read can beach/burn tops very easy. I also jumped from 825w to the 1000w setting. From here on out i'll post weekly shots so you can see the progress unless I get any requests.

Canopy up close. Didnt work on the back corner yet.

New canopy in the making.


New meter readings. I dont adjust Ph/PPM at this time. I let the plants feed for 24 hours to flush any of the salts out of the hydroton/rockwool.


Thats all folks!

Great show I'm going to follow along too I have 4 Gavitas still in the boxes going to make the swap this week. I have seen amazing results with these lights and a controller to manage heat. I can't wait to see your results I think you'll be impressed.

The controller is trick but I didnt need it. I have an ac with thermo that handles the heat. The other options I probably swouldn't use. Decided not to spend the 200$ on it.
