Good morning @StonedCrumpet 
Just to give you a example of the benefits of photoperiods.
That Mango Mousse above.
I left the dehumidifier pointing at it all night, on turbo.
36c air blowing on her for 10 hrs straight.
2 weeks later she is ready for flower.
If that were an auto I'd just wasted 6 weeks of my time.
But a little kelp, microbes, @Plagron and time she is a star again.
I'm running 100% 24/7.
Growth is unbelievable.
Light energy, can't beat it.
Flower Time.
Hope your enjoying your weekend my friend.

It was 2 weeks ago actually.
Good thing I built a 10' high grow room.
I just need 2 hours today to finalize a couple things.
Hopefully if I'm not chasing a puppy all day I'll get finished.
Hope your weekend is going well Stone.

Vitamin C tablets will precipitate both chlorine and chloramine out of a barrel of water almost immediately.

Does ascorbic acid/Vitamin C actually work to remove chlorine?
Yup. Research by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) found that using ascorbic acid for chlorine is effective and works rapidly. Today, Vitamin C filters are used to dechlorinate water for procedures where the introduction of chlorinated water would be catastrophic, like medical dialysis. And, according to the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC), using Vitamin C/ascorbic acid for chlorine is one of the utility’s standard methods for dechlorination of water mains. There are various methods you can try for using vitamin C for chlorine removal. The SFPUC established that 1000 mg. of Vitamin C will completely dechlorinate a bathtub of tapwater without significantly depressing pH levels. You can also buy shower and hose attachments containing Vitamin C on the internet. Effervescent Vitamin C bath tablets are also readily available. You can find very basic chlorine hose filters, better-quality chlorine filters that only require one filter replacement a year, or professionally-installed, entire landscape filters.

The main difference with potassium/sodium meta bisulphate is that the amounts required are much, much less. Both methods, however, operate in functionally the same way for the ''operator". They work completely and quickly!

But also availability. I can get cheap vit c tabs at the grocery store. How do the others compare cost wise?
Water is great, I’d heard about the Vit C hack way back travelling because I was learning about iodine, chlorine, and chlorine dioxide tablets making basically all water safe for human consumption. At the time it was our family’s 3 ingredients. (Sorry, 
) Now my pool is H2O2 to keep it clean and I run through a lot of ice in the average day. Plus 80L of nute carrying water to my plants. Energy efficient desalination - you solve that then wow. The world is fixed and you I imagine very very rich!

Remember you need to get the Vit C without any filler. Better just to purchase a baggie of ascorbic acid and come up with a decent mix strength - over using pills.
Potassium/Metabisulphate is cheaper than ascorbic acid in both small 100-gram basic retail size and larger. Look for both/either at your local beer/wine-making shoppe, and online
If you do want to try this stuff out, I recommend to hold-out for the ''Potassium'' Metabisulphate, It's more efficient than Sodium Metabisulphite., requiring less product need be applied., plus there's the Sodium you'd be adding. Sodium Metabisulphite is often seen in ''Campden tablets'', which BTW are still cheaper than vitamin C, and works, in my view, better than ascorbic acid/Vitamin C, though not as well as Potassium Metabisulphite. Vitamin C needs to be added in much larger amounts than the potassium metabisulphate.
Potassium metabisulphate also makes an excellent clean-up, and disinfects bacteria and moulds if you mix at a higher dose.

Good Morning Nick.
No worries I can't keep track either.
Actually thats what this post is about.
Give me half an hour and I'll post pics of the VS6450 Flower Room.
I had to complete a couple things in the veg room before moving some back.
I've got 6 in the Flower Room ready to go.
I'll be right back with the rest of the update.
Talk soon Amigo.

Thanks Stone
I'm absolutely thrilled with the quality of all the @VIVOSUN equipment.
But your right about that light, growth is unparalleled.
I'm finally going to be able to turn the timer on.
A month late.
They are huge.
I'm going to have to get out the machete and get ruthless.
I'll take some clones and hit the switch.
Hope your doing well Amigo.
