Intro
Day 1 for my new HLG 300l rspec diary.
It's been up In the tent a few days now over the Dutch Passion Kerosene Krash and its already clear that it's in a different league to my old retired hps or lesser led.
Initial impressions of the light on unboxing is quality.... Its mounted on a solid bit of what I guess is powder coated steel.. It comes with quality feeling hanging kit. The potentiometer for dimming feels like a quality unit too, notched so it can be set in different positions and a nice feeling of slight resistance against your fingers... (Ive spent alot of time in studios and collecting and repairing valve amps so I'm a bit of a volume nob nerd)
... And as nobs go, it's pleasing to the touch 
BTW, don't expect a dry commentary... Those that know me are fully aware that I'm a wrong un... So its a happy, everyone join in kinda thread with the odd sensible bit.
Heres the lovely light currently over the single pot..
My aim (heatwave permitting) is to keep it over this side to cover the Dutch Passion and a home made 4 basket res I have made for starting these lovely Twenty20mendocino Strawberry Biscotti test seeds from @Twenty20 Adam just popped there heads up today
Once theses girls have sufficient root mass in the diy starter res to warrant filling the big oxypot 4 res up I'll move the rspec over it to finish these girls up in style.
Tent temps in this heat are hindering things massively so we may have a reset or 2 lol. Not the best time to start dwc but hey ho, if you grow in the UK you learn to adapt pretty quickly to our changeable (shite) climate lol
Happy days
