New video with the start of our testing! A couple new lights came in the other day, they are in the system and ready to grow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPwpyPTc5C4

2 weeks into our testing of the Flextronics lights. The 6mg is easily out performing and out growing its counterpart, the 600w MH, while using half the watts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADm0ATR ... e=youtu.be

The system has been up and running for 6-7 weeks now. For the most part everything is running fine and the plants are doing fairly well. We have noticed a few issues that may be nutrient deficiencies. We are working on supplementing the system to correct the problem but need to identify the specific problem, if possible. Check them out below and we appreciate any help on the issue.

Sorry for the lack of updates everyone, I will hopefully have some new videos uploaded soon. Several problems arose that were quiet frankly getting the better of us. First there appeared to be a bacterial/fungal infection in the water, which we believe led to a number of our fish dying over the past few weeks. There was also a PH problem, aphids and a temperature drop that compounded each issue. When it rains it pours! As of now we believe we are on track again or at least have a better handle on things. With the large temperature drops we have difficulty maintaining heat inside the shop as a whole and will be attempting to make each float bed its own small greenhouse. It is a quick fix for the winter and hopefully it will work. I will get some videos of the build and update ya'll then.
