Well what a start this has been. I got gifted the seeds by Dweet seeds and got busy with germination. I did struggle to get 3 of each up initially amd had to remove helmets and membranes on a few bit gof them to a growing point . All was going g well u til we hit a heatwave here and fried the grow room with 38°c temps. I could not keep them damp enough during their lights off time and they all fell. I managed to rescue 2 Amnesia Haze thankfully but nothing g else. I have now pla rwd the remaini g seeds and am hoping on at least 1 red hot and 1 afgani to accompany these girls. I am gutted to have lost such potentially good group of plants but am confident this will be sorted. I am also testing g out the brand new Mars Hydro sp3000 against the sp250 it is replacing now. I am impressed with the added bits like daisy chained dimmer switch and even a 2m power chord to extend the driver out of the room. All looking great for good comparison grow with all 3 mars in the run.
Hold fast growmies , things will get moving
@GardenOfSixx, I started at about 18 and dimmed them initially to 25% on thebsp300. They were not under direct light but sat offset between the two lights. I moved them under the sp3000 ti finish veg time just prior to flipping them. mostly been on 100% at the 14 inches . you will notice issues with bleaching out or upward curling leaves if too close intensity will damage them before heat I feel. In flower it is easy to spot too much light as an issue.
@GardenOfSixx,I tend to forget about the various data on the weekly updates. oops. I did run it between 14 and 16 inches away from the tops. had no issues with distance at all at that. caught the canopy well too lower down
@SmokinGas,Thank you. I have to saybiy is the genetics too. These amnesia are great growers so far. cannot wait to sample her. Thank you for the positive comment.
@SmokinGas,thank you. they did get a really good 6-7 week veg period while i was waiting for some others but i am impressed with their growth rates. great strain
@SwedenX,Thanks for the comments . I didna water drought and the new sp3000 so I don't know which is responsible for the build up. lol. Next run should help determine the lights capabilities against the other Mars ones I have. have 3 strains so can compare nicely among the set up I hope.
@FreshCoastOrganics,Hi , thank you for the positive vibe. Its been a journey with this one.lpl never done a low plant count before but love the room to train more. Thanks for stopping by.
@Sweet_Seeds,Thank you. The amnesia haze is a beauty to grow so far , so aggressive and healthy. I will bring thebother 2 strains back from their root issues too. In recovery right now with new roots forming up better. Thanks for the comments
@PrairieFrostGrow, Thank you. Slowly winning now i think. Has to have been the most difficult germination in years for me . Fingers crossed it gets moving now.
Be careful with the humidity, it seems that you have it very high. Try to keep the humidity below 50% to avoid fungus problems. 💪
Sweet smokes!

@Sweet_Seeds,I have it low again now , the dehumidifier bypass failed and it switched off for the night. Thanks Apolo. so close to finish now too. beautiful plant.
