With my mover i could get a 1,000 watt metal halide that close back when i use the old light after the plants got bigger,they did good to no hot spots with the mover

 

[seaofgreen18]

That LEC has a BETTER QUALITY light than the old metal halide lamps and just a wee bit of heat not to bad Imo

 

[seaofgreen18]

Easy peasy

I think what some folks fail to realize which this is NO SLAM on LEDS but doing LOS or even a easy water only recipe is you don't have to buy all the chemicals to get a good return, Less overhead and Big, Quality on a return of your investment i see only positive What I normally would have spent on chemicals i put in my pocket and pay a few bucks xtra on electric and a soil test.
I just prefer the quality of light that comes outta The LEC and sodium lights vs LED my plants like it to but to be fair Ive been scared to invest in a LED because im an old dog who can't change so easy and I've heard its a whole new curve so .....

Ok Getting serious about this now, 90% wattage on a 630 16" above canopy,
What i think is KICK ASS is wait until tomorrow, the plants are absorbing All that good light and putting it out though exudates in the soil to call on the microbes for food not to mention storing all the carbon and such and sugars in rhizosphere of the soil for growing overnight.
I should be taking clones here next week they both look like GOOD clone stock

What Do Rove Beetles Eat?​

Rove beetles feed on other insects and sometimes on rotting vegetation. Rove beetles in gardens feed on small insects and mites that infest plants, as well insects in the soil and on plant roots. Both the immature larvae and the adult beetles prey on other insects. Adult beetles on decaying animal carcasses are feeding on the insects that infest the carcass rather than the flesh of the dead animal. The life cycle varies from one species to the next, but some larvae enter the pupae or larvae of their prey to feed, emerging a few weeks later as adults. Adult beetles have a large mandible that they use to grasp prey.

Rove beetles are predatory insects that can become your partner in controlling pest insects in the garden. Find rove beetle facts and information in this article. Read on to learn more.

What are Rove Beetles?
Rove beetles are members of the Staphylinidae family, which contains thousands of North American species. They range in length, though are typically about an inch (2.5 cm.) long. Rove beetles have the interesting habit of raising up the end of their bodies like a scorpion when disturbed or frightened, but they can't sting or bite (they do, however, produce pederin, a toxin which can cause contact dermatitis if handled). Although they have wings and can fly, they usually prefer to run along the ground.
