What would the coverage area of two ts600s be side be side????

 

[Old Salt]

You can find the data for the TS-600 on the Mars Hydro website.

It states the coverage is 2' x 2' (60 x 60cm) in veg. Two would cover 2' x 4' (60 x 120cm).

It states the coverage is 1.5' x 1.5' (45 x 45cm) in flower. Two would cover 1.5' x 3' (45 x 90cm).

Weeks 2 in flower under ts3000

I just bent some coat hangers to form a saddle on each end. They're in the center of the plant pushing branches away from each other, 'spreading' them out.

brilliant idea Salt. get some pics up and share the innovative bits.

OUCH 30°C-40°C for temps is way too high for happy plants , is the figure the ambient temperature around the drivers maybe ??.

Here lies the net issue full stop. I went to quadlining and lst to lose the need for the net. can get tricky when watering , working , defoliating ect . with so many obstructions, also being able to reposition will get very difficult to 3-tier them .good luck.

I use autopots, so they stay in place, but trimming is an issue for sure.

Howdy ho fellow Marsians , just a quick update on the grow of the fast buds autos 4 strain , 12 plants on 18/6, day 63 under 2 x tsl2000's and an sp250 powering the middle ground of the 6x5ft canopy and all for a meagre 780w(approx) from the wall.

1st harvest is some time this week for the BlackBerry.

Totally Agree! I never let it get above 80 F (27C) indoors at any point, and lately I run the last 2 weeks of flowering at 73-74F to preserve terpenes. An interesting guide by Fluence called High PPFD recommends the optimum temp at flower at 84 F (29 C) unless you are running co2 in which case it can be higher. I can't find a link to it for some reason. They say too high and the plants stops growing and just spends its time transpiring. And as I am paying for RO water, and heat, and dealing with the humidity , its more practical at the lower temps.

They're no-see-ums in the plant. They can also be used to pull two branches closer together.

I have a static net at 40 Inches from the floor, most of the varieties I have grown have tabled with a bit of tipping and wire training during a 2 month veg run, some get blocked up to meet the net, and then punch through the net during the stretch in the first two weeks of flower, so that the nets useful for the heavy buds. One sativa variety stretched so much I had to run strings to the colas to support them. Now I should qualify this with the fact that I am lazy, and trying to get max production with the least amount of effort and there are many paths to the golden harvest!

And in keeping this on topic, notice the transition to the Mars light and the overall plant volumes.
