This is the tester side of this grow. I have some new strains littered in throughout. All in 10 gal smart pots with Sanctuary Soils Big City mix... Great CoCo. Anyway, I went Gavita for a few reasons. Mainly the craftsmanship of their products. The ballast on the Plasma has a GorTex valve on it, this allows air to come and go, yet keeping it sealed. The lens filters harmful UVB light, and there is a referb kit for $200. In veg they perform very well and would be great if the benefits ended there. They don't, though. In flower the resign production is at least a 20% gain, potentially more, but this is based on my observation alone. I'm planning on always having at least 4:1 for all future grows. I have a 7k bare bulb Gavita HPS room that I'll be adding 2 plasmas to in the near future. Keep you guys posted.
Hope this helps
