Have you guys tried Rso on the places with pain? Bunch of cripples here
RSO? I'm on mad Perks. So some of my posts since surgery may sound a Lil off!
I feel your pain. Just had both hips scoped and now the shoulder which is in a sling for 6 weeks and I need the other one done too. Getting alot of help from the siblings in upkeep. Also me teaching along the way.

Do you use ro water? Thinking about making the jump
I don't suggest using RO unless you have to. Tap water has a bunch of beneficial minerals that are great for your plants. Just be sure to always bubble w/ an air stone for 24 hours to get the chlorine & unwanted shit like Floride out of it. Test your taps PPM's. If it's not 0 then you may need to use RO. But it's not something you'd wanna do unless you have to. If you do then you'll have to add Cal-Mag before you tour Nutes.

Mini split+sealed room+co2 supp== indoor growing nirvana
Yesssiiiirrrr!!! Can't wait. It's been a battle since i started trying to Jury-Rig Stand-ups w/ crazy duct work in attempts to salvage my Co2. No matter how hard i tried, I could never get up to 1200 ppm w/ them stand-ups. Really looking forward to it. Getting installed tom. 36,000 BTU. What a big head it has though. Freakin monterous.

Don't tell me you cheaped out and didn't get one of these bitches.

Rso is Rick Simpson oil. Just a guys name who made it the way most people do but he did actually cure his wife's cancer with it so they named the method after him. Same as BHO just with alcohol or naptha so it's less dangerous. Percocet sounds good about right now!

Id love to pick one up but I already have one in my house and need a second. Nevermind my grow room. 2 more months hopefully and the biggest heat wave will be over. Are u gonna use it all year hybrid or just in summer?
Usually just duct in w/ a 6" inline to a phot-thermostat & it works great in the winter. Saves me $350 a month in comparison to using 2 Stand-ups. But, it creates to much positive air pressure. Pushing out the Co2 no matter how sealed the room.
So, the Mini-Split actually recycles the room air. Hoping it will allow me to finally grow @ 1200 +. It's gonna be a whole new ball-game now!
Won't be such s struggle to achieve my intended yields. Which are pretty high. Ha!

I'd really like to see you put a Apache AT600 up against your Amare
Yeah, The Apaches are deffinetly one of the few proven LEDs. I'd love to do that side by side. But, I'll be honest w/ you. My research tells me the Amare will win. But, of course it will take a side by side to determine that to be a fact.
Thinking about doing another side by side, but really don't wanna have a bunch of lights later I'm stuck w/ if they lose.
Originally planned on using Fluence Bio & Amare as my main LEDs. The Amares are HI-LEDs & the FLuence are LOW-LEDs. Technically I need both to fit my grow style & differant strains.
For now though, I'm just gonna start flower with less veg time so to manage the plants better with my Amares when I get them. Trying to maintain a 2' distance from the canopy so to use the lenses & allow the monos to blend well. Need the footprint too.
I would do that side by side though. Maybe sometime this year when I'm feeling more financially capable of playin around some, ya know!

Is the At600 600 watts? I feel like my HH pink spectrum is very similiar to the Apache.
image.jpg Sometimes similiar just doesn't cut it though. Obviously Apache will kill my HH.

Mitsus are the only way to go when it comes to ductless imo......lg's don't give me tooooo much confidence, especially with their new window/stand-up ac reviews being dysmal @ HD.

Whatever split you get hybrid, make sure to install a surge protector ($20-$30)on the units breaker box, will save your board from frying, their very fragile to surges.

Fyi, Complete system swap was cheaper than replacing the mother board at work.

Is the At600 600 watts?
Closer to 700w , but driver/diodes get updated regularly, so anybody's guess now.

Have you ever noticed that most of the proven led comp. do not use 660nm?
I'd like to talk about that later tonight if you're around.

Most of the commercial ul listed led fixtures use 660nm, illumitex, fluence, bml, helios, Osram,valoya,Fiona, etc........only next light,& Apache don't ( nichia doesn't make a deep red, so AT uses 5000k?630nm)

Pretty sure amare is also supplementing mono deep red with their cobs

What exactly is the criteria for a "HI LED" and "LO LED"? Just out of curiosity.

I don't think BudMaster uses deep red either. Those are good lights! Apache, Amare. I thought there was more for some reason? I took these before the fireworks. image.jpgimage.jpgNatural sunset colors are what I now think are nm's our plants want. I just don't see burple being natural enough to properly grow the plant in flower.
Pretty cool what burples can do in veg though.
Amare vs. Apache hu! Mmmmnnnhhh!!!! Very interesting!

I can tell you that looks nothing like the Apache r2
image.jpg The W/R one got all that blue just from 5k's? Peaking @ 470 + 630. It's got x2 as much green as my HH & peaking in 630 instead of 660.
Why, how much differant does it look? Less pink I'm sure cuz there's allot more green in the white I guess. Just thought the spectral graph shows allota blue for just 5k whites.
Which one do you have?

Take a pic of that plant under the amare! Give the light some cred at least! What is that? Those are huge nugs for a sativa dom.
They are Dinafem autos. I absolutely love them! There are 4-8 of these on each plant. Amare shots are soon to come

The Full spectrum all in one. No having to mix 3 differant light sources to accomplish this spectrum.

I thought of any burple would be good it would be this one. Boy was I wrong. I wonder how much their performances differ? This one has green. Some don't.

I have the w/r one. Yes there is alot of blue in whites, don't forget all white led start out life as blue leds. Ofc there will be alot of blue still included.
