Looking rather orange because the whites are low. So beautiful IRL.

I have never seen her look that color.
I've actually bumped my white settings up since I raised my lamp.

Gotta say since getting the v2+ on the app its super clean and pretty much what the lamp needed all along.
Ramp up and down is smooth and even im really digging it.
Need to get par meter since I raised my lamp who knows where its sitting ive just been winging it! Feel like its not enough though.
My blues are at 35%
Whites 20%
Red and Green channel 3%
All channels ramp up from 7-9am.
All channels ramp down from 6-7pm.

This is 90% true color to life, under the lighting it was under, which really brought out the orange.

Define true color to life lol. How it looks as you see it on your reef?
What are your lamp settings?
Its interesting because you mentioned lower whites. I used to ramp my whites down sooner than my blues but the Red glow would get more intense than anything.
Are you ramping down blues before whites or vice versa or at same time?
When I was running black boxes I was running them closer to 75%blues and around 15%whites but it was a much less powerful lamp.

I'm patiently awaiting the upgrade kit being available again so I can do the same. Also looking at adding a bar.

Yes, I meant the color they look in that picture, is what they looked like at that moment under that specific light. It was strange and fleeting as the lights ramped down.

White goes down first with blue stable. purple comes up and blue ramps down, purple trails the blue blue on the way down a bit. They don't normally look that orange for SURE, just at that moment under that light, she was SUPER orange.

Ok gotcha. Whatever your doing keep doing it bro for real this Earl is healthiest happiest shroom I've ever recieved from a reefer. Kinda reminds me of minecraft when I got her. Just opened up like a big fat flower!
She may take a little time to acclimate to your lamp and particular settings. She looked great like she is coming along nicely in that one picture you sent!

Your going to love the upgrade. I should do a proper feedback. Logan sent me the kit when I had my issues. I think my lamp just had a bad wifi chip somehow or another. Its the cost of the game I guess I could have had a MH bulb explode over one of my tables. I did lose a cpl shrooms and that rfa in the process of it getting crazy but is what it is I guess. Fixed now and couldn't be smoother. Your going to notice it immediately during ramp up and down periods.
I'm also thinking about adding the bars for better coverage on edges.

Hahaha Morning. I actually fell asleep checking out your lights i never heard of them. Honestly I never heard of mine or LED lighting when I got back into reefing in 2019.
% controls the intensity and spectrum on my v2+. The higher i set it the hotter it gets. I see yours is preset.
I do like having the ability to control the spectrum. I'm finding my shrooms do like the reccomended preset that brs put out for softies when they tested it.
Also like the fact I can fine tune each color as well. In finding just 1% on certain channels can really make or break certain shrooms. Blues are kind of maxed out. But they are liking the higher white% i have been pushing on them.
That being said. Back in the day I ran MH. Never had to think about all that. Shrooms just grew and blew up and all you had to do was make sure you where at correct height from water so you didn't fry them.
I have had MH and HPS bulbs blow up on me doing Horticulture though. Scary stuff

I can change the intensity (brightness?) with the controller. I ramp up over 4 hours from off to 100% white & 80% blue for 4 hours ramping down the whites to off over 3 hours and the blues over 5 hours. Seems to be working.

I still have a scar on my left arm left over from the MH & hood days. Placing corals with the lights on and laid my arm in to it.
SIZZLE.

I did see your lights had a controller. Yes for sure brightness. The higher hotter brighter the % intensity the higher par under the lamp.
Does it allow you to control each individual color of blue like violet or cool blue as well as red and green? Fell asleep digging in lol.

Yeah MH will zap ya. I ran a few 150's not hooded and they would get me everytime.
Ran the hotter bulbs in vented hoods. Dont miss those days lol

nope. straight blue and white relative to what ever led the fixture comes with.

Right on. I think my shrooms like the lamp at height i had it at so seriously considering getting bars for edge coverage.
