Stuck to a half strength feeding program and turned out good with no signs of nutrient burns or deficiencies, I will be trying full strength tests in the future.
Currently running 2 Mars 1600s in a 8x8 tent, total wattage is 1260 for both lights on full spectrum, barely put off any heat and super bright.
I paid $630 in Canadian currency for each light so basically 1$ per Watt. Growlights.ca has the best prices on mars leds that iv seen and also offers free shipping on orders over $100.
So far I have done 4 successful crops from seed to harvest and am very happy with the overall results, I would recommend this brand for new and current growers.
Nice transition to a freaking huge grow space! Those big Mars lights give off a lot of heat - the head space will be so useful. Your girls are getting monstrous.
Thanks hopefully they enjoy the extra space, unfortunately after I took them out of the smaller tent there was ALOT of growth( in between each plant )that died off because of crowding and now that I spread them out in the larger tent the canopy looks super thin in areas.
Actually the mars lights I have only bring my tent to +25 and during 12 hour lights out it goes down to +22-23ish, Iām very impressed with how little amount of heat they give off and would recommend these any day.
@GreenISR,
Lol yeah itās actually getting overwhelming, I recently purchased a 8x8 tent and will probably have them transferred over by the weekend, thatās if I have it set up by then š
Really nice set up. Just heads up, youāre gonna have a tough time managing them without LST or topping during flowering because youāre going hydro and these plants double or triple in vertical growth during the preflower phase. Good luck!
Thanks Iāll keep that in mind. I topped my last hydro crop and they stretched 16ā in flower, I wanted the height for the vertical scrog test so I didnāt top at all this crop.
I loved DWC !! Plants so healthy. I will give you a tip ....look into crop steering technique you will be blown away at your yield. This round you did about .5 gram/watt ...you could easily DOUBLe that in 3 months instead of 6 months. One thing is starting from clone your veg time will be about 14-20 DAYS then flip to flower . You had a beautiful grow.....but 6 months indoors you can yield 2 crops. First time I crop steered I DBLD my yield...this last pull I did about 1.26 gram/watt. I just see you have everything it takes to be waay better than what ur doing :)
@Ketamine,
My grams per watt is incorrect on this site, it says my lights are 800 watts but are actually putting out 630watts, Iām not sure how to change it but whateves lol
Thanks Iāll look into that, I do make clones but I give them all away for free to friends.
I tent to start with seeds because I am switching up my strains each grow, I also donāt have room for a mother plant so Iām stuck doing it this way. š¤·āāļø
Iām running 2 Mars 1600 leds side by side and so far I am very impressed with the quality, density and size of the buds it produces.
Also have 2-8ā air stones in each tote, highly recommended for larger totes.
