Mars-Hydro LED Grow Light Discussion

You are right about it,:bravo:it's also depends on different light and grow style.:high-five:
How many plants you have in total now?:Namaste:
I would have to say it really varies from light to light and grow style to grow style.
 
4 in the tent, will be adding a few more autos outside. I think 4 in my space (60cm x 60cm) is just way to crowded 2 would fit better in 11L pots or 3 max in 7L pots or 9 tiny autos in little 3l pots :rofl: Really again it's completely up to the growers skill level, pot size,and strain. Some might get 10 grams per plant in 3L others I've seen get up to 20 grams with co2 added. I did an auto west coast og from fast buds in a 3.25l pot and got 17 grams dried. If I did 9 smaller autos or clones I could get a really nice sog happening which would utilize the light to the fullest but also be a pain to water or I can do one big one with a longer veg time in a scrog with a 18L pot but I like a variety of smoke.

Like with everything there is no one way to do it and the variations are endless.

After they all grow bigger, you will need another big growing room for them.I know they are keeping stretch out now.:bravo:
Is the weather hot there? :Namaste:
I told my friends that last night there was horrible tornado outside,they seemed very shocked...it seems like tornado came outside of my house only ...:volcano-smiley::volcano-smiley: None of them heared about it...even the friend who lives nearby...:volcano-smiley::volcano-smiley:

It's always hot never snows here which is great because I can do a few autos outdoor all year. Its been getting to about 40c outside lately which to hot for my skinny white @$$.:rofl::rofl:

That cocktail looks nice here we can get CannaWine which has CBD in it it's really tasty. :blushsmile:
But I don't drink anything anymore I'd rather smoke plus I get stomach issues from time to time.
 
Eyyyyyyyyyy! Question for my fellow Mars II users. If you were going to run a 4x8 grow tent would you go with 2 1200's or 2 1600's?!?!? Any input and experience would be greatly appreciated! I currently have a 900 in a 3x3 grow tent and i love it but soon i will be adding a 4x8 and i keep bouncing back and forth between the 1200 and the 1600 :thanks::Namaste:
 
Really? I thought it will be very cold in winter there.:volcano-smiley: 40C feels like sauna,i guess i will never like it,haha.If my city goes to 40C,i will apply to work at home,and i will never come out.:surf:I do not like too much hot,also i do not like too cold either.:volcano-smiley:
That cocktail looks delicious,by looking at it,i feel cooler now,haha.:slide:I only can drink little red wine or beer,only a small glass...:smokin2:
When i was at school,our teacher had asked us onec: do you like man smoking?:Hookah: At that time my answer is:I like it,it looks cool.Man should smoke.:passitleft:Till now i still think that way,haha.:cheertwo:

Hi PurpleHaze22,both Mars II1200 and Mars II1600 can be use for your 4'x8' grow tent.But i recommend you go with 2pcs Mars II 1600,the coverage will be 4.2'x8.4',it will cover your growing space nicely.:high-five:

Do you think the roller shutter will be good?:high-five:
:welcome:Our engineer will make adjustment for this tent,how do you think about the front door?

PPM can vary depending on which nutrients you use, here are some good guidelines:

Tap water: 400ppm or below; 400 is high for tap water.
Nutrient Water: 500ppm - 800ppm total
DWC Reservoir water: 800ppm - 1500ppm
If my information isn't right,please let me know.:welcome:
 
:welcome:Hi gudyul,i wish i can smoke,haha:volcano-smiley:I always want try it...:Namaste:
I read some articles from internet that they said it's better not spray anything,so i want to make sure :if i really need to spray something to my plants,which kind of things i should avoid?
:circle-of-love:How are you these days? Did you go on your summer vacation?:high-five:
What u smokin girl? Spray ph adjusted plain
water ( does not have to be RO, just chlorine free through 24 hr evap) any time , all the time , whatever lifts yur skirt! Plants love it!
 
well you could be cheap like me and run a lightmover with either one.

I guess I cant say cheap, I just want to reserve the power for a second tent soon. lol

hmmm edit here........might say grab the 1600 actually. I run the 1200 in my 4x8, coverage is ok, but somedays I wish the width was covered a bit better. it is covered though.

You may wish to include the information that the above is just a generalization. That nutrient requirements - and tolerances - vary by strain. Some strains evolved, or were bred, to do well when grown in soils that are not very nutritive. Those strains can burn at higher nutrient levels. Other strains are the plant equivalents to gluttons, lol.

I read some articles today that it's better not spray anything during flowering?

I read some articles from internet that they said it's better not spray anything,so i want to make sure :if i really need to spray something to my plants,which kind of things i should avoid?

Some strains are not very resistant to mold. This seems mainly to be certain indicas that have a very dense bud structure, but it is not necessarily limited to them (and some indicas that produce dense buds, conversely, appear to be somewhat mold-resistant). The breeders of some strains advise not to grow them outdoors in areas where rains are expected to be heavy late in the flowering period, for this reason.

The above might be part of the reason for what you have read. Another reason might be that some substances, when sprayed onto the buds, might... linger. For example, certain insecticides are generally considered to be harmless to people, but others are not. Of those in the latter category, some will decompose(?) after a period of time; this time might be as short as 24 hours, especially in the presence of strong light - but the length could potentially be longer. Then, too, some people like to foliar feed certain nutrients (et cetera), and a person might not wish to see such things still on the buds at harvest time, lol. It is important to remember that not everyone smokes their cannabis (many medicinal users suffer from lung aliments, and some people just do not like to smoke it). The buds might be made into food items or otherwise consumed.

It is not that "one should never, ever, spray anything on one's cannabis flowers (buds)," I think - it is more like a general rule. Something like... Well, we say here "better safe than sorry," lol. If you say that it is unwise to spray things on cannabis flowers, then you do not have to worry so much that someone will spray something that should not be sprayed. If that makes any sense? Think of it like this: A mother tells her young child not to cross the road. She does not do this because the act of crossing the road, in and of itself, is always inherently unsafe - she does so because there are certain circumstances in which it is not safe. Rather than to try to explain (and think of) every single different situation and discuss the relative safety (or lack thereof) in crossing the road under those conditions... the mother says, "Do not cross the road." Better safe than sorry ;) .

Neem-based insecticides are said to be safe to spray on our plants (even fruit and vegetable plants) up to the day of harvest. That means that we would not be poisoned if we consume the fruits of those plants. Still... It might not taste particularly good, lol.
 
Some folks that follow doc bud do a 'catatonic' or cat drench' (fish emulsion, molasses, phosphoric acid) in first bud after stretch to jump start reproduction cycle. Foliage spray is used for plants that have deficiencies ( even in bud) for a quick fix. Epsom salt for mag def. for example. Dense buds need to be low humidity, <50%, if you are growing a strain susceptible to mold. Any kind of biological brews such as aerobic compost organic tea or anaerobic fermented organic ferts may be used as spray to help plant health and pest control but the residue on leaf n bud needs to be washed off at harvest time cuz smokin fish poo is cancerous. It may be preferable to foliar feed certian nutrients through the leaves so as not to disturb the soil balance. Foliar feeding sends sugars to the roots to feed the dirt microbs which break down the goodies or additives in the soil for the plant. Extra slow release additives of phosphates and calcium in the soil help the end stages of bud cycle when these nutrients are in demand. Foliar feeding may help the plant to use these additives. Hydro is different story as sugars may promote bad bacteria in hydro root system. sugars may not be needed in hydro as hydro nutrients are easily absorbed by plants. Foliage spray in hydro should be limited to occasional plain ph adjusted water in the bud cycle unless trying to correct mag def. All this I have gleaned off of 420mag forums. Try to simulate natural botany. Weed gets rained on in bud in Hawaii even as it is being dried in humid conditions and turns out to be a mellow smoke that takes you there.
 
Do you think the roller shutter will be good?:high-five:

I really saw nothing wrong with a D-shaped door. But I do not see anything wrong with this U-shaped one, either. A door is, after all, a door.

I am curious about the zipper. Is it one zipper? Or two zippers that meet somewhere (the point at which they meet being variable, if that translates properly - like some laptop/etc. bags have)? I would like to see ONE zipper - and this is why: With one zipper, that zipper always ends up at either one end of the opening or the other. And the engineer decides which end that will be. Having decided this, he/she is then able to add in an additional thing to block the light, a stationary opaque thing. Again I hope that translates properly (for that matter, I hope that my fellow English-speakers have a clue as to what I mean, ha ha).
