Satori: inspirtation, bliss, calm as opposed to speedy but energetic none the less.
I find it suprisingly low in the munchies department. It also does not trigger impulse shopping (something I love to do when high, but shouldn't). I never did get to smoke a mature bud as their first run at flowering was primarily for "sexing". Also, I nibbled away at them and my bagseed as I had no other source of weed.

The blue ones are 460nm actinics. They are "Current" brand. They came with a Current retrofit kit for saltwater aquariums. Ballast is remote and it came with reflectors and waterproof end caps and stainless mounting screws. It was on sale at thatfishplace dot com. Cheapest way to get all the parts. You can special order other bulbs at good fish stores. I've got a 420nm actinic "actinic O3" and a "pink" bulb. The 420 is a lighter blue and seems to just burn the leaves more and provide less useful light energy. The idea behind the pink bulb is that I swap it out for the last few weeks of flowering and the buds will pack on trichromes in response to the UV it puts out. The red should help flowering too.
The actinics make for 48 watts total. I've got 2 X 42 @ 2700K and 1 X 23 @ 5800K and a little 9 watter @2700K over the light trap for now.

I had to turn the lamp around so it wouldn't burn my retinas whenever I open up the door. Also, the back wall is pure Mylar.
The light trap/air filter on the right.
Starting to get some dense reveg growth and no more hairs.
I'm slowly cutting away the old growth down to the stump and there will be nothing but new growth...and a big, fat stalk.

By the way, when I take shots looking up at the lamp from about 8 inches below (planned cannopy height) my camera gives a speed of 1/2000. That is its highest speed and the same as when I pointed it directly at the sun one time (2 hours till sunset, clear sky). That 1/2000 speed is what the camera reads from any spot in the cannopy area. I'm hope to get some nice dense flowers from this box.
