Hello fellow growers. Here we go for another journey, going to reach Mars 😎 The room is fully equipped with 6 x Mars Hydro FC6500. The FC6500 is equipped with 2688 LEDs for an input power of 650 and a footprint of 180x180 cm. Sunlike Full Spectrum- warm white and red chips. Boom Yield increasing Crop Quality. High PPFD at 2.8 umol/j, average yield at 2.5g/w. No fan design, no noise-A whole layer of the aluminum heatsink achieving optimal heat dissipation. Removable driver and 2m extension cord helps lower the growing room temperature. IP65 waterproof ratings-worry free in high humidity growing environment. And is actually the best quality price on the market. The light brightness is so intense that a ninja can’t find any shadow to hide. Look under the stool on the video and the pictures. This is why you can get 2.5g/w. The plants grows heavy nuggs even on the bottom part, getting a third layer of buds. __________________________________________ Barney’s Farm has some new seeds packaging. Much easier to get the seeds out and very well sealed. You can even use it as a rolling tray. Each batch of seeds is numbered, which is a good indicator for seriousness. Barney’s Farm has one of the most beautiful seeds menu, any strains can be chosen blindly and is a fine connoisseur choice. __________________________________________ I will be using Cellmax BIO soil and BIO nutrients. When you got the best sauce, don’t change the recipe, particularly when it works very well and helps to increase a yield using organic nutrients. __________________________________________ In this diary I will add my personal notes, from my personal diary, in the bottom of the comments. If it can help any beginner to match the formulas with the comment to understand the wizardry behind the spells. Stay tuned, germination is launched 🚀

Hello fellow grower Starting directly under the Mars Hydro FC6500, seedlings are doing very well (see inputs for distance). The dimming is at maximum power. The light footprint might be a bit oversized for only 20 cups. Technically, for a commercial crop you can stick 1.2 sq. meter of seedlings without any problems. _________________________________________________ Barney’s Farm seeds are as usual, very vigorous ! All the seeds germinated in 24h to 48h. I’m just waiting after the Vanilla Kush to come out from the soil. _________________________________________________ Cellmax BIO Soil is perfect, you can start seedlings with it without risking to burn them. _________________________________________________ Seedlings stage tips: - adding a rotating fan, far enough and on first speed, blowing very gently on the seedlings, will stop them going looney and stretching a long weak stem to reach the light. - fill up the cup with soil, give it a good watering, then plant the germinated seed in the wet soil. _________________________________________________ 24/08 Cup, Water pH 6.5, LT TB 25/08 Cup, Water pH 6.5, AG Bba K Bad Azz 26/08 Cup, Water pH 6.5, Vanilla

Hello fellow grower Week 2, seedlings developments are performing very well under the Mars Hydro FC6500. Raising the light just a bit, using the same distance that I was using with the Mars Hydro SP3000. _________________________________________________ Transplanting into 1.8l pots, they will last 4-5 weeks, perfect intermediary size just to make watering easier and to keep the control on it. Cellmax BIO Soil needs around 5 days to become active and alive, seedlings can show some little deficiencies like Cal. and/or K. _________________________________________________ One of the LEMON TREE is showing some lil deficiency, but otherwise all the others are growing very well. Got my 16 plants plan, but I have added more seeds to pop out. I got plenty enough light to grow some few more on the side. _________________________________________________ 31/08 Water + BIO RootBooster 4ml/1l pH 6.5 03/09 Transplant Water + BIO RootBooster 4ml/1l pH 6.5

Hello fellow grower Week 3, when taking the pictures and comparing from only 7 days ago, I said to myself it’s unbelievable... Look the development in just a week. The Mars Hydro FC6500 is absolutely remarkable. It’s like growing under the sunlight in a controlled environment ! _________________________________________________ Barney’s Farm genetics is no bullshit, vigorous and resilient, they have exploded during this week. Transplanting last week was done in time to keep the growing rate at maximum. _________________________________________________ Last week transplanting using Cellmax BIO RootBooster did a great job. I can already see some tips of the roots coming out from the drain holes of the pot. _________________________________________________ No water during the week, no need. Just a nice story about the Dutch Golden age, 17th century. World is round since not so long, the Dutchmen are all over the globe on board of their galleon across the seas. Imagine a crew of sparrow full of tattoos with sharp teeth. On board, in a chest, well kept in a dry place, there’s some Cannabis seeds .... 😊 How they were able to navigate so far and so long ? Because they were able to repair the ropes in case of a wreck growing the seeds to make hemp quickly and Cannabis seeds holds enough protein... Stay tuned folks, it’s growing crazy 😝

Hello fellow grower Week 4 development under the Mars Hydro FC6500. The growth rate is spectacular, all the plants are showing some Nitrogen deficiencies. The roots have totally filled up the 1.8l pots. This is impressive. _________________________________________________ Barney’s genetics under the perfect type of light is marvelous. Hopefully all their strains are extremely resilient and will forgive wrong moves to recover quickly. _________________________________________________ Cellmax BIO RootBooster have blasted the roots development, and filled up the pots in less than 2 weeks. _________________________________________________ 18/09 Water + BIO RootBooster 4ml/1l + AllZymes 1ml/1l pH 6.5

After transplanting... The plants growth rate is spectacular. I wasn’t expecting this, Mars Hydro FC6500 is really amazing. Got some unhappy plants, will check the drain on next watering to see what’s going on. Barney’s Farm genetics are very resilient, and will forgive wrong moves. The roots development is amazing, they keep on growing like crazy.
