Well, I cannot believe the satisfaction to have the ATS 200W PRO in my setup.
Unbelievable, I think my pics will speak by themselves, this lamp is pure magic, not only it gives excellent results, but this cycle it saved me a catastrophy.
I was out of space in 1.60m heght tent and I made 7 weeks with the lamp at 5 cms from the main and bigger buds.
This time I stressed for the excess of light!
First the 2 conecentric squere.shapes ideals for the homogene repartition in 60x60cms tent. Even if plants are tall anyhere they are under some leds.
Second, the temperature stays very low, except in direct contact. I always run the extractor to evacuate and avoid accumulated heat as the transformer was at 5 cms of the tent roof. It helps a lot to control the climate easilly using ceramic lamps and adjust the temperature.
And third, the power selector to adjust the light intensity, having plants so close I was afraid of the light burn. I finally end up at 50% for last 7 weeks! But, I think that level was a perfect compromise were I believe I maintained the flower development healthy for all the bigger and closest to the lamp.
I might have a suggestion, move the connectors (power and switch) over the long side of the power adaptor. I know it's a details but in my 60cm tent both cables are touching and force the tent walls. Not a real issue thought, just I don't like to see the cable bends even if I can also appreciate their constructions making are perfectly strong but easilly twistable. And this reminds me I love the extra extra large length for both cables.
I would love to test the optative but promissing lights control through an app, I can already imagine the intensity and spectrum variations depending on the moment of the day and the period of the cycle. Hopefully I can afford it soon.
THANK YOU
