After more than three months down I am up and running with a new LED light 
My HID ballast had died and a new one with a couple of bulbs was about 2/3's of the cost of an LED.
By the time I got the cash together the Mars Hydro FC-E4800 480w was out of stock..
Then ViparSpectra Canada has no plans to restock their KS5000 500w. They had one on amazon dot com and it also sold before I was ready.... Their US store does not do International shipping...
On to the Canadian store for Phlizon. The Friday before the long weekend I purchased the Phlizon PH-B8_D Plus 640w. It has eight bars with a center mount built in ballast, no frame on the ends.
Early Tuesday in the AM I receive an email telling me it is out of stock, would I like to change the order to the
Phlizon FD6000 Plus 640w for the same price. Both were listed at the same price
I accepted ! From payment to delivery was a LONG 12 days
Geez already
It is also an eight bar light but with a full extruded aluminum frame, detachable ballast and a near identical par map !
Still 5 gallon pails with GroBuckets, ProMix HP and Mega Crop one part...
Seeds from True North are soaking with the exception of Fast Buds version of Maui Wowie from The Seed Fair !
And to make things more fun the Hawaiian Snow seeds were missing from my order, sigh...
Message sent !
On my last grow I had my first germination failure, 3 Sour Diesel seeds from True North did not grow so I have started one each of the five strains and if/when True North makes good on the Hawaiian Snow seeds I will likely pop one.
The week and a half difference in age doesn't bother me ! Been there, done that
Cheers, eh ?

My leds are old. Version 1 Electric Sky. Your new light should serve you well. I'm still a big fan of double ended hps. I go back and forth and is it ever nice switching to led. Local grow shop has a killer good deal on bulbs trying to get rid of them.

You can buy it on Temu, then delete it after u get tired of the ads.Yes it does have another fitting.
Not sure where the missus bought it. She sells preserves, chili's and such as a lucrative side line. ADHD makes for a busy wife....
WE HAVE 2 COMPOST BINS so I don't lack in compost.
s
Grat buy, my friend.
Amazon too, I think.
Look up "bottle-sealer".

Big topic on the east coast is the weather, still getting 20+ during the days and double digits at night. You should see the pm though, I bet the shelves are bare of hydrogen peroxide. So glad I finished early. I have some Black Cherry Punch seed to start soon and growing with coco and salt. Never had the hang up about salt, only where I use it. The vacuum gizmo I can use and am looking at the no battery ones. Can't help getting political ......... Just can't 
. Polly is back on the libs taking away hunting rifles, the cons really got to stop with that worn out bullshit ........... Slinger wherever it might stick.

Can't remember, where did you purchase from ?
I purchased mine from True North and the odd time I've had an issue they have responded within 24 hours.
All five are up and the Hawaiian Snow should pop up tonight !
That will make it six out of six for the water/h202 soak.....

To be honest, it was a while ago. Yhe lady was nice and said that this guy would get back to me.
Popped 2 outta 5 seeds. If I was doing it wrong, which I don't, then none would grow.
Cheers and have a great week-end.

Happy to say that I've gone from a D- to an A for bud storage. Vacuum storage in glass is light years ahead of plastic bags and giving it away when the rosin starts to darken. We're on the go down here producing clean hydrogen for Germany so they can get off the Russian tit. Amazing the energy we need to separate hydrogen when weed plants do it with ease.
I had a issue with aphids on 2 of my plants that I brought in from outside to flower. I purchased some ladybugs to experiment with this ongoing problem. After 2-3 week I can't find the aphids any more. The ladybugs breed and I had lots of larva running around the grow box and this one that is almost completed in metamorphosis into a bug. If you can look on the right side you can see a larva getting ready to transform into a bug. Highly recommend them if you have any issues with Aphids.

Vacuum the best!!!!
I bought stocks in Vortex last year. Went crazy and doubled my 3 grand in 2 weeks. Then they crashed to 1/3 value. Still a good investment while it is low. Storing hydrogen in the ground is safe and enviromentally friendly.
Made a short-term profit butr thinking of putting a few more buckss into it for the long haul.

I took care of my Aphide problem with insecicidal. Brought a lady-bug I found out-side and put her in after my rinse. Just may have save my girl.

Europe is moving towards the stuff and looks like we're going to fill it with Trans Atlantic shipments. One terrible blight on the horizon all the windmills to drive it all. Fixed it. Made easy money in my time to but it was never hydrogen.

I have been desperately looking for a lady bug. Found one but didn't helo. Still fighting to keep my plant alive for 1 more week.
Was thinking about hanging the branches over smoking ashes outside in my fire box. once I chop them.

All i know is turning the hose on them or growing artificially and antiseptically. My grow shed is fallow no more and i'm growing a herm just to make sure i have no spidermites. I used my shed for light depping this summer. So far so good. Next up Black Cherry Punch and my last old stock Cafe Racer!
