Try clones from your local dispensary or if you feel brave Craigslist that is if it is legal where you are

Ha-ha. Unfortunately I'm not in the best state for legality.

Yes I did Randy. I have Cal/mag in my water tank, also a low dose of fert.
My ppm is around 400 in the water with that mix and a little of Bio Weed "Cold Press Sea Weed" in it.
With those rapid rooters plugs the seeds usually sprouts within 4 days.
So today which is My Birthday by the way, I took the week off and next, Lol, is the 3rd day of planting new seeds.
So hopefully they will sprout today... :) or tomorrow is fine.
Thanks for the info.

Well HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

:party::party::party::party::party::party:



I'm retired, so every day is a week off only wish I could work not is so boring but as for my plants.
I soak the cubes first then when rooted put in air pot propagation containers then into their flood table which is a recirculating system three times a day and with the strain I run now the ppm is 2000 - 2200 they love their nutes after two weeks they are ready to top and transplant into final pots

It costs about $300 a year here for a med rec and register with the State but I had a friend stopped with a coffee can of prerolled and a couple oz and only told to drive safe after seeing his card so it is a lot cheaper than an Attorney.

Cost of me moving to a state such as Colorado is just to great of an expense for me ATM. But I know I'd love to.

Well on my other plants they are doing great about 2 feet away from my Cree128. I think these newer units will do great on the Grow even if they are not under the full lights. My leaves are a dark green not even under the lights. Hopefully when my Marijuana Plants are growing and ready to Bud the ones in between will be just as good.

I'll bet the reflective mylar helps alot in harnessing the wasted light and redirecting it around your room.

Mars II 900 or a Mars 192 reflector for a 3x3 grow tent?
Click to expand...
The 900 for sure. The mars 2 are great for square areas. Reflectors are great for rectangles.

I currently have a 4.5x4.5 tent but Im going to scrap it as its being held together with duct tape. Im having trouble deciding on a 3x3 or a 2x4. I plan on going scrog and the 2x4 seems like it woudl be easier to kind of work in as opposed to a square tebnt which could be a bit more challenging.

The way things look you will have even more choices after next year

I hope so. I can safely say my state will be one of the last. Likely to be federally legal before my state. Then my state will still fight it ha-ha. If I lived in a legal state I'd have so much more fun with a big indoor grow. Instead of a small stealth. I've done a few by cfl before and they turned out great. First try with LEDs. I think I'd like to be employed in the cannabis industry somehow as a real job. I have some heart issues and extreme anxiety. I need a change of pace lol.

Yah 2x4 would make for much easier access by hand than the 3x3. So the reflectors would be a good light for that. I'm in. 2x2 so I just got the mars 2 400. May build a big room some day. A 4x4 for veg and mothers and a 4x6 for flowering. Ima need more LEDs ha-ha.

Hello everyone,
I'm new to LED's and so I'd like to ask :
Which light do you recommand for a 120cmx120cm box (4x4ft) ?
I thought buying 3 MH reflector 144 or 4x MH II 400w. What is the main difference between those ?
I'm happy for every advice
 
The reflectors cover a rectangle area. The mars 2 1200 or 1600 would be great for your area. With just 1 light

The 2 x 4 footprint makes a nice work platform for 2 to 3 plants, makes it easy to set up space into shelves from 18 inch to 24 makes easy to work from space.

Is it better to us one of 1600 than 4x 400 ? I tended to buy 4x 400 to cover 4by4 ft.
Click to expand...
4 of the 400s would be just fine for it. Would slow for individual light adjustments. Either way should yield some top notch buds ha-ha.

Man those Rapid Rooters work great, I have them in 4 inch pots of dirt.
Planted 5 seeds Sunday evening and several seeds have already split and the little boogers are starting to show almost to the top.
I just drop the seeds into the holes and water and Shazam... Lol.
