My 1st Strain and 1st SOG

I couldn’t be more satisfied with Athena nutrients. They are incredibly easy to use and reliable. Once I set the pH to my desired level, it remained stable—even if left untouched for a week. I mixed the nutrients manually every day for hand-watering, and the process was straightforward. Just two bottles, and I was good to go. The results? Simply the best I’ve had so far, both in quality and quantity. I surpassed 600g in my grow tent, whereas before, I struggled to go beyond 400g. Athena truly exceeded all expectations. Their free book taught me a lot and helped me improve my grow significantly. Not only are their products excellent, but they openly share knowledge with the world, which is rare to see. I had some issues with the delivery of one of the nutrients from the store I usually buy from, so I reached out to Athena through Instagram. They responded immediately and quickly proposed a solution to fix the problem. Absolutely impeccable service!

While I didn’t use Mars Hydro lights as the primary source in this grow, they often come in handy as supplemental lighting during the vegetation phase. The infrared (IR) functionality is especially useful during flowering, helping to enhance specific processes. That said, these lights are quite old, and the technology is noticeably outdated compared to newer options on the market. Despite this, they still serve their purpose when extra light is needed, making them a decent backup in my setup.

I really enjoyed using the Lazerlite! This was my first time using LEDs in the flowering tent—up until now, I’ve always relied on HPS—and the experience was very positive. The light is very easy to work with and distributes evenly across the canopy without creating hotspots. It’s perfect for a 1.2x1.2m (4x4) tent. That said, I feel the suspension cables could be shorter to allow the light to be positioned as high as possible within the tent. Adjusting the height was also a bit challenging, as I had to completely turn off the light. Otherwise, I’d get slight electrical shocks when touching certain parts of the light. For the price, and comparing it to high-end LEDs my friends use, I think it’s a great value and well worth it!
