Hello Tokers and Growers!

3 x Orange Apricot x Mimosa from Mallorca Breeders
1 x Miracle Alien Cookies (M.A.C.) from PEV Seeds
I won't get in to specifics of strains, if you want to know that info just check the diary for those strains.
This diary will be to describe the weekly progression of the plants under this light.

The Power cable is pretty long that's something I like about the light first off.
The step up is super easy, on top of the light there's a fixture for the drivers.
Which can easily be taken off and mounted outside the tent to lower heat but I need that heat because it's still cold so for now I'm leaving the drivers on top of the light.
There's also a dimmer (10-100%) with a daisy chain connection which can be hooked up to other Mars Hydro lights.

Happy Growing!
ACK! ACK! ACK!
How's it going growers and tokers?
Hope you're doing as good as these seedlings under this Mars Hydro light!
Idea is to leave them in this pot for about 14-21 days for root development.
The light is currently at 70cm from the seedlings and at 25% draw on the light dimmer that's about 77 watts.
I'll keep taking up the draw as needed.
That's about it for this week.
Take care out there and happy growing!
ACK! ACK! ACK!
Don't run! We are your friends!
Get the reference yet? 🤔
Back at it, another week of veg and still in the cups letting them roots take over.
They're definitely comfortable, I can notice the roots and mycorrhiza combo just taking over the soil.
Leaves are branching out and getting think which is great to see.
I lowered the light a bit but it's still at 25% draw. Seems to be working great.
Next week they'll be transplanted to final 11L fabric pots and I'll up the light draw to 50% which is about 150W.
Happy Growing!
Hello Growers & Tokers!
That's why my main goal in those first 14-21 days is developing the root system.
I like to give them time to expand the roots which is very important for a healthy plant.
That also gives them more time to get bigger and stronger before going into flower.
More growth, more bud sites, more buds. Trust me the wait is worth the reward.
This week they got transplanted to their final pot, 11L fabric pots.
And I upped the light draw to 50%, about 150W.
The light is working smoothly, almost feel no heat from the drivers.
Take care out there and happy growing!
Hello Growers & Tokers!
Looking healthy after the transplant.
The light is doing its job.
Same height and power draw as last week and the girls are growing nicely.
Won't be doing much this week, just feeding them and letting them adjust correctly.
Take care out there and happy growing!
Hello Growers & Tokers!
Light draw is at 50% but the distance is at 50cm now.
Still working fine at 50%, plenty of new growth, so much I topped them with no worries.
Ladies are looking very healthy, no deficiencies, healthy leaves, roots are spreading nicely, all out good plants.
The tops came down this week, after topping they'll widen out and even the canopy.
I don't think I even need to train them, the branches seem to be going in to place by themselves.
My plan is to have an even canopy, table of colas, horizontal canopy, sea of green, call it what you may...
I'm looking to have about 6-10 colas per plant, In flower all I want to see in the canopy is buds, buds, buds.
They got some chunky leaves on them which will be taken off next week before switching them to flower.
Take care out there and happy growing!
Hello Growers & Tokers!
Lights are working great!!
Still at 50% draw and 50cm distance from the canopy.
As you can see we've ourselves a full tent! 😍
It's the last week of veg so I cleaned them up a bit.
Taking down the bigger fan leaves in the middle, those that are bigger than my hand and give most shade.
The new fan leaves I leave them be. I also cleaned a bit of the bottom.
First node was taken off. Second and third nodes were cleaned by taking off the first and second nodes on both.
That's just taking away growth that won't amount to anything and giving energy to where it's needed, on the top.
The more bud site exposed the better, that's what we want growing in the next 21 days.
More bud sites, more buds. More buds, more of everything else you can do with buds.
By the looks of it she'll be a bush with colas all over the top, hope everything keeps running smoothly.
In flower I'll up the power draw to 75% for the first 21 days and most like adjusting the light everything with the flower stretch but keeping the 50cm distance.
Take care out there and happy growing!
