Umbra is rockin' in Cali! Congrats on your home purchase in the Golden State!

I took a few pics of the new lights and a Biowave machine. I have only been running the Biowave for a few days, so I think I won't have a good feel on if it really helps or not until the next run, we will see. I can say the new Gavita lights rock! HUGE difference in plant health as compared to the rows still running Digi HPS.I need to get a hps filter to take these shots.
The light controller for the Gavita's is one of the best controllers I have used for lighting by far.
All the ballasts interconnect thru phonecord, each ballast is daisy chained by phone cord and then it plugs into the controller. The controller tells the lights to go on/off, what wattage to run (600-1150 on the DE bulbs), and temp contols. Say if the room gets too 85 degrees, it will turn the lights down to 600w, if it goes to 90 degrees, it will shut them off. Sick. The new EL3 controller will allow it to go online and I can observe and interact with the controller thru mu IPhone. I love garden tech!

Gravitas new controller is going to be sweet, I love the on and off dimming function too. Can't wait to set up the new operation, DE air cooled hoods, LEC supplemental lighting, Co2, cameras and web controlled access
