Mars Hydro or Galaxy hydro

Iva!!! Epic!!! You make it look easy. If I ever have any lighting questions in tagging you!! Wow!!

I use the mars11 400 watt. I have 2 of them they have on off veg and bloom switches and I have them daisy chained great lights.

David.

Did you ever flower with just one or did you get two I ask cause I am about to and have cfls for supplemental light…just wondering your outcome…

Kushpa you should stay away from miracle grow if possible. I just got some nutes yesterday.

Thst awesome. I rally want this light next.
MarsHdyro Reflector144 Led Grow Light with 317W True Watt for Hydroponic Indoor Garden and Greenhouse Full Spectrum Veg and Bloom Switches added.

I’m using distilled water only. Perfect at 7.0 every time.

I know there are some folks who say MiracleGro is evil, and bad for pot, but I’ve read plenty by other growers who say it’s just fine. And the brand name doesn’t have any affect on the actual chemicals, nitrogen is nitrogen. I don’t see any ingredients that look harmful at all. The only problem I see is that it doesn’t have calcium or magnesium, so I picked up a little cal-mag to make up for it. I know the FoxFarms stuff is specially formulated for pot, but I just go to Home Depot or Walmart and get the cheap stuff. Besides, I’m 120 miles from any major city, so I’d have to order it. Not to mention I’m on a tight budget!

I also know there are a lot of folks who hate Monsanto, but hell, we’ve been using Monsanto seed for corn and soybeans since the 70s, so I don’t really have a negative view. Yields are MUCH higher with treated seeds than in the old days when you just used plain old seed (for corn and soybeans, that is). Did I mention I’m a farmer? :wink:

Hey if MG works, keep on trucking!! I want to be a farmer. I have carrots, bell peppers, lettuce, parsley, basil, cilantro, blue berries and 7 white widow autos. The autos outside are growing tall. Inside they are short and fat. The distilled water is making a boost too. What’s cannabis strains do you have?

Well, this IS my first grow, so I bought the MG before I learned about FF! So part of it is just me rationalizing. Next time I get soil and nutes, I’ll probably go with some FF stuff.

I’ve got 3 White Widow autos outside, 2 inside, and 1 Golden Leaf that I’m hoping to take some clones from and do a mini-SOG. I’ve got a dozen 2-gallon grow bags ready to go for that, just take as many cuttings as I can over a period of a couple weeks, then grow them another week or two after taking root, then forcing them all into flower.

Oh sounds good!!! Start a thread with that. I have gold leaf, strawberry kush and amnesia haze on the way. So much yummy meds!

If it’s a regular photo period amnesia haze you’ll like it, smooth great tasting smoke with a strong buzz

That’s good to know. All 3 coming are photos. Want to alternate with autos and photos. When do I start adding cal mag to my autos?

Whenever you start feeding other nutrients, generally 5-7th leaf node or when ever embryonic leaves die off. When embryonic leaves die it’s letting you know your plant has a stable strong root base that able to handle small increments of feeding gradually increasing by every other week

Buying water must suck what does it cost ?

.58$ per gallon from WalMart. For 12 it was leads than 10$. This will last 2-4 weeks.

Just a little tip, cal mag will help balance acidity when feeding anything with nitrogen

Yes sir!!! Thanks!

I am no expert on lighting or even growing I just like to tinker and not frightened to play with stuff like this and there are much smarter ppl here.

Here is one thing I use for mixing nutes I would like to share because I cant lift much anymore and cant bend over making flushing plants really hard. Once a 5gal pot is full I cant move it so I made this.


12v $4 pump with an air bleed

I use the air bleed one for mixing nutes I place it in the bucket or in my case a watering can with the water and turn it on then add the nutes and it mixes it for me and I can leave it over night if needed.
It gets stuck on dry nutes some times but I just turn it off and on to fix that but most of the time the dry nutes just go thru with a crunching sound.
I use the longer hose to suck up nutes out of the catch pan making watering and flushing easier.
I have setup a 12V solar system in my shed so 12v is easy to get but I use the battery to make it mobile with the little mesh carry bag.

Dont mine my messy shed cleaning up the floor is impossible atm.

I flowered the first time with just one but I feel it should be 2, my tent is 1.2x1.2x2 m. The only thing is remember to check the distance from the light to the plant I measure the distance and add on 4 inches to make sure I don’t burn any more leaves.

David.

Yeah your tent is much bigger than mine…27"x27"x60"…I’m still thinking about getting another one by the time flowering comes hopefully lol… If not a 400 then deff a 300
