I have the SF2000 and SF1000 and I love them so far. I’m almost at my first harvest with both of these lights and they didn’t disappoint. I’m running the 2000 on a 2x4 scrog and it’s filled with giant dense sticky buds. I am using the 1000 on some cookies I have a diary for and those buds are almost as fat as coke cans.

Hi everyone, all seeds worked well, now i’m just watering them with water and a bit of rootbastic to get the root stimulated enough. Next week, they will begin to get small doses of terra flores from canna.

Hi everyone, how’s growing!!! Sad news to give but my mom, my brother and i contracted the covid 19. Nothing to really fear for us young folk but i want to say that’s not really funny when you see your mom in a bad shape. Anyway, my babies are still growing, i will begin to tie them down and get that lst in place. Nothing else to say but just stay safe with that crap outside!!!

Hi everyone, new week, nothing new. I’m giving them a small dose of nuts so that they can grow easily and don’t be over fertilized. I’m still bending down some of the branches to get that light. Some of the big girls are mainly gorilla girl and sour diesel so big shout out for sweet seeds and dinafem who created monsters. Have a nice week!!!

Hi everyone, how are you doing today?! I’m doing perfectly fine myself, but just take a look at those beauties. I’m doing a fking hard work on those babies with a lot of lst and defoliation. For the drink I use a small portion of bottle nutrients with all kind including a base nutrient for the flowering stage from general hydroponics, bud factor x from advanced nutrients, cannazym from canna, rootbastic from atami and seeweed from general hydroponics. That’s all for me this week, just enjoy the green and stay safe out there!!!

Hi everyone, small question, I wanted to know if mars hydro is safe compared to the other big brands. I want to go with 3 sp6500 but still scared if something will happen to the chips of led. Still doesn’t know if i go with led or remain with hps. I need all the answers from you!

Hi, i was thinking the same but i decided to try, by the moment i can see that my plant are happier due to less temp in the indoor (i've been using HPS 600W with cooltube for the last 8 years). It looks very resistant and with good finished, it also comes with warranty. You will also see a very big difference in the monthly bill, usually i paid 70€ more in it for 1x600HPS, now i pay 68€ less monthly (with 1x TS1000) If you are interested you can look to my first LED crop in my diaries. I hope it helped you :)

Here we are guys, in the so called flowering stage. The beauties are doing perfectly well, all is green all is beautiful, no deficiencies or over fertilization so far. I try to give them little fertz so they don’t panic and that’s it for me for this week. Peace out ✌️!!!

This looks like magnesium deficiency. Check ph. If ph is good. Supplement cal mag.. when deficiencies like this show it usually means the lack of magnesium/calcium as started a while back. They don't take long to fix but can take a while to show

Question for you guys, i kept in mind that autoflowers didn't need as much nuts as classic feminized seeds. I began to check the ppm today and questioned myself. Could i add much more pk if the ppms are still good for the flowering stage ? It means that i don't risk nuts burn ?

Easiest way to find out is to check the ppms of your runoff. If the runoff is higher than the ppms going in, then you are likely feeding too much. If the ppms are lower in the runoff add more nutes! This also works with DWC as the ppms in your res will change as your baby takes up water and nutes. Every plant is different and while this method isn't 100% effective when you factor in things like pH and humidity that can affect uptake, but it is the best way I know of to dial in the nutes to as close to perfect as possible.

I think it will be the last question, I’m questionning myself on lst and pk. I know lst doesn’t harm the plant but did I lst too much so that will answer to the question that they’re so f*ing slow or I’m just paranoid. Can I pk from week 2-3 to the last 10 days from harvest ?

aha bro you're good, these plants can take some abuse!!!! Not sure there is such a thing as "too much lst" take it easy on the pk, start small and work up, very very easy to nute burn your plant with pk boosters, i personally opt out of using pk as i don't feel its necessary

Hi boys and gals, how are you doing this week? Me, perfectly fine, nothing has changed besides a few defficiencies and a bit of burns but nothing to worry about. I think I just founded the perfect feeding schedule to not hurt these babies. Feed, water, water and just doing this all the time till the end of the plant’s cycle. Have a nice week!!!

Hi boys and gals, hope you had a great christmas in those bad times. I’m doing just fine and I’m beginning to harvest some of the ladies. Just check on the video I added, the two girls in the left back side. What a smell, sour diesel and gorilla girl are just amazing 🤩!!! I wish you a nice week and a great New Year’s Eve

Hi everyone, I’m planning to grow autos in a special space, I have 3 Mars hydro sp6500 and a grow surface of 4.50m x 3,20m x 2m. I don’t want to have 40 pots of 11l, so what would be the best option. How many pots of 5-7 gal could I add in this grow space!! What’s your thoughts?

Also to add I can see you would need more than 3 sp6500 to adequately light that space. I would be looking to use 6 of them at a minimum. If I was using 600w hps I would be using 12 of them to give you a idea.

I would have 48 5 gal pots if that was me, that’s roughly 4 per 1.1 m2. Unless you want to veg for a long period of time I think that’s a good number to hit a decent yield in minimal time. If you want lower numbers you could try 24 7 gallon and just veg for a longer period of time maybe using a scrog net to help train a even canopy. I don’t think you could easily fill that area with less that 24 7 gallon pots as it would become uneconomical with veg time. That’s my take on it anyway, happy growing pal👍

This will give you coverage over a 9x5 area, or a 3x15 area depending on how you arrange them. Maybe 10-15 plants depending on how big you want them. You could probably fit about 40 pots if you are trying to do a sea of green technique, but this won't increase your overall yield much and it's it's lot harder to track and fix problems under this setup.

Hi again, I wanted to switch from soil to coco and wanted your opinion, i’ve been growing for more than 2 years now and learned a lot. Is coco worth it? In terms of quality and yield compared to soil ?

Hey mate, Servus✌️ I'm changing atm. I'm doing my 2nd run with Coco and I do not think of going back to soil. Be sure to take quality coco which is not washed with salt-water. I can highly recommend the GoldLabel Series... very good stuff. You can feed the plant directly and not have to feed them via the soil. To me more comfortable. Also I safe some time due to Coco plants are growing faster. Startet with organic nutes and testing mineral nutes atm. Hope this helps a bit, good luck and happy trails for the rest of the way!

Coco (40%) + vermicompost (40%) + bonemeal (10%) + organic soil (9%) + microbes, mycorhizae fungi , npk bacteria (1%)... there you go . Its like a supersoil... if you like to retain some extra moisture ; add vermiculite to the mixture.. though remember it holds extra moisture. I donot add perlite as above mixture has great drain ability and roots form really well when they get this loose medium full as growth space. Plus point ; you wont see deficiencies in this mixture as bacteria do the micronutrient work. Use 50/50 synthetic and organic nutrients with it and your plants shall reward you back!!! Hope that helps...

Hi ! Kokos heeft enige grote voordelen ten opzichte van de methode kweken op aarde. Het is licht van structuur en heeft een laag soortelijk gewicht. Dit betekent dus veel minder hefwerk (niet onbelangrijk!😛) Door de luchtige samenstelling geeft kokos de wortels van de jonge wietplantjes een betere toegang tot zuurstof in de pot, simpel omdat deze door zijn luchtigheid ook meer zuurstof kan bevatten. De cocos kan eigenlijk ook niet te nat worden omdat het overtollige vocht makkelijk de plant via de bodem van de pot verlaat. Zou je dit met aarde teveel doen dan zou er te weinig zuurstof in de bodem overblijven en de wortelgroei doen stagneren. Nog een voordeel is dat kokos de PH waarde buffert door de aanwezigheid van mineralen in de vezel. De voordelen van het medium kokos zijn dus de moeite waard te overwegen het een keer te proberen. Het kan ook meerdere oogsten mee maar dan moet je de ph en ec wel goed in de gaten blijven houden. Bij een eerste oogst zal de ph door de buffercapaciteit redelijk constant blijven. Na deze kweek de cocos goed doorspoelen en vervolgens de ph waarde van het voedingswater op een constante van 6 houden. Nog een verschil.. Kokos buffert wel maar heeft geen voedingswaarde. Het is dus wel belangrijk dat je zelf voedingsstoffen toevoegt. Bovendien kan je door cannabis op kokos te kweken dezelfde resultaten behalen als met hydro-kweken, hoewel jouw planten gewoon in potten staan. Dit komt omdat jouw planten door de goede toegang tot zuurstof goed gaan groeien. Het kan dus ook een mooie tussenstap zijn als je ooit wil overschakelen naar een hydrosysteem. Ik hoop dat ik kon helpen. Veel succes met groeien!🌱😉
