Mars-Hydro LED Grow Light Discussion

[Mars Hydro]

it's a happy morning with love!

I just wanted to say that I'm very pleased with the Reflector 48. It's being used on 2 dwarf low flyers in my chilled aerogarden. Plants are now in flower with the lights about 6" off of the tops and are loving it. Great value, thanks again!

Good morning Sara....

 

[Mars Hydro]

I will try to answer them.

I'll be starting a grow journal this weekend. Soon as I get a couple of answers on my thread I'll be good to go. Unless someone here wants to answer them for me?

 

[Mars Hydro]

Haha, that's another benefit from grow under LED. The taste is better than HPS

So I just took apart my 60x5 old model to clean the glass the leds and holy smokes is this little light bright as hell. I have to say I think it is quite a bit brighter then when I first got it. Next I will do the same to my Mars ll 1200.
O and I am starting the germination on my next grow. So stay tuned for pics. I'll be vegging under the 60x5 and flowering under the 1200 I was going to go with my hps but decided the buds taste to good from leds lol

Hello,
I have been reading the post for about a month now on this thread, and well; it inspired me to get to growing again after long break (haven't grown since 2008). I used to keep grow logs on cannabis.com back then some of them got quite a few views (100k plus). Ive grown mostly indoors, vegging with cfl's and then flowering with hps. It has been a while but it is like riding a bicycle and the rust will be off me in no time.

I have in the last few weeks been acquiring equipment for my new stealth grow room. A few days ago I purchased a Mars II 1200 which is very nice build quality, bright as hell and I love the veg/bloom switches on them. I am about 80% done shopping for the equipment I need start my grow and within two weeks I will be done shopping for equipment and seeds. I plan on purchasing another mars hydro light shortly for the veg section of the room.

The space is a closet with dimensions of approx (L/W/H) of 6'x3'x8' but it is underneath a stairs so the roof slants at a angle, With one side high (8') the other side shorter (3'). The tall side of the space approx 3x3 will be used with the mars hydro II 1200, the shorter side of the space will be for Vegging. (In the veg portion I am thinking of purchasing a mars hydro II 400)

The only supplemental light will be one 4' pure uv spectrum high output florescent tube. For soil it will be fox farm ocean forest. In 5 gallon smart pots. Fertilizers will be technaflora's "recipe for success" along with technaflora's soluble seaweed and B. Seaweed. I Have also purchased a carbon filter/Inline fan/variable speed controller. Ph up/down, Ph meter/TDS meter, (2) dual zone temp/humidity monitors, a 16" wall mount active air fan. Along with a 4x100' reflective Mylar roll.

I still have some equipment left to purchase such as a vegging light (Mars hydro 400?), some light timers, a thermostat controller, along with some other things im sure lol.

Lastly seeds!! I plan on running this space with only auto flowers on a 18/6 light schedule (4flowering / 4vegging). With a harvest every approx 35 days or so. What strains to run is the question so many choices! I'm thinking growing (Dutch Passion Seeds AutoColorado Cookies, Dinafem Sour Diesel Auto, FastBuds Seeds Girl Scout Cookies AUTO , and the forth plant anyone have any suggestions for a fourth auto strain? A fast finishing potent auto flower that has a good yield? Once I get the room up and running I will start a grow log.

I would check out Herbies they have some great selections. I am running some Dark devil auto, girl scout cookies auto, Green Crack auto and NY City Diesel Auto, also Crop King seeds has a great auto selection.
