surfy: Thank you very much. I'm in Fresno (Central Valley).
minfinger: Thank you very much for all the kind words. I'm pleased you enjoyed the thread and you are to be commended on your reading perseverance.
pete_ra: Actually, it's the same 300 watts (2 x 150) MH and ~800 watts VHO. Thanks though.
willra: As above, same lights, different photographic skill level.
Unfortunately the sharpness of this photo is lacking some but the color pops as it does in real life. Now if I can achieve sharpness
AND color accuracy, I'll be set.
Some day it will happen but I'm counting on the 700 additional watts of MH to come through for my photographs.
Thanks for the comments of kindness.
