It looks good , first flower start coming , I had to remove my auto flowering because I founded a thrips on it , I juste saw one but I am scared there are others even if I didn’t saw them , I plan to vaporize neem oil on plants while the flowers aren’t formed to prevent incvasion on other plants . The auto will finish growing outside the tent
Didn’t seen any sign of thrips on other plants , paranoia is coming when I see any small thing on leaf but still nothing 🤞🏽
Welcome, and good luck with the journey of learning if you have any questions feel free to ask, I'm just your friendly neighborhood stoner on a neverending quest for knowledge! Peace to you.
@Ultraviolet,Thanks for this more than clear answer ! i could not expect better 😁
So100%, is too much , 75% is enough !😲 this will help to win some degres i guess!
I've reduce the intensity of the lamp to 25% as you recommendations and it's now 12" from top of plants !
I had a great flowering on last strain with this light by pushing it at 100 , i get the TS3000 after an HPS600 so i was sure it could not be warmer !😅
Thanks !

@@@@@@Bouga, Oh nice very niceeeeeeeee! 450watts she is a beast and will have bountiful harvests with this thing for sure. A few things to know is the PPFD or photon par flux density, this beauty can get up to 2000ppfd@12 inches.
Before that means shit though we need a little knowledge of the amount a cannabis plant can handle in order to maximize photosynthesis.
The average air outside is anywhere from 300-800ppm(Parts per million) of co2 = the most PPFD a plant can handle before photosynthesis drops off is around 1500ppfd
with co2 levels 1500+ppm the cannabis plant can now handle 2000ppfd, this is in conjunction with maintaining a leaf surface temp of 84-85
The Dimmer allows for a fixed light position the same as changing the height without "physically" changing the height,
100%,2000
75%,1500
50%,1000
25%,750
Given it is rated at 12 inches from the leaf canopy id keep 25% until you have at least 3-4 internodes and a good solid veg growth going, this thing is mighty powerful and the tiny leafs cannot use such high levels of light right now anyway save a little electric too. Once you get going though just crank her up id probably keep her at 75% until you want to flower then go for 100% , your only ever going to need such power though if you are really trying to push the limits of growth and that requires Bruce Bugbees 9 cardinal rules of plant growth to run in perfect harmony. We can play with the height or the Dimmer but all we really want is to find the sweet spot for optimal growth, all we do is provide that environment and let DNA & Light make babies! YEAH! FCUK YEAH!
this is all assuming 12" from the canopy, even having it at 36" @100% will be more than enough for seedlings
there is no right or wrong way to grow it's more how fast you want to grow. Right now go easy! :)
hope that wasn't an overload.
Good luck!
oh shit almost forgot yeah, ummm, *inhales puff* this light is so powerful unless you supplement it with co2 you couldn't even utilize its full potential at 12" as the 0.04% co2 in the naturally occuring atmosphere (man cave basment as I call mine) will limit ppfd to roughly 1500 anyhows.
its all about the Cardio BABY!
@Ultraviolet, 🙏Thanks a lot i'll need some ! Good to know because actually it's first time with MarsHydro TS3000 during veg, what do you think about the level dimmer must be , i'm on maximum now 😶
Thanks again
