Sent you a pm with some soil related questions.

Lots of good information from all the comments here and I appreciate the input. I'll reply to everyone else's comment tomorrow. -I'll be growing in a 5x5 grow tent, Planning on growing 4-5 plants with low stress training methods and some Co2 -Lighting solution will be 4x Mars hydro tsw 2000w...

Dear 420 magazine community, After some first hand feedback on the pro's and con's of coco vs organic soil grow medium. I was thinking something along the lines of fox farms soil for a organic grow medium but trying to weigh up the benefits. I've watched a bunch of youtube videos and understand...

Hey SmokeSara, You don't think 4x Mars hydro tsw 2000 would be more suitable and give me better PPFD? From my calculations 4x Mars hydro tsw 2000 would give me the PPFD I require. I'll be sure to check out the videos thanks! :)

Really great information and it'll definitely be something I'll need to consider in a multi strain grow if I choose to go down that path. I've never been one to back down from a challenge though and I can tend to be a little stubborn at times.

Dear 420magazine community, Finally decided to get my grow tent underway and I've settled on a lighting solution for it which has taken me a good part of a year to decide on. I have multiple different high quality strains and I'm requesting the advice and opinions of the community here...

Yeah my thoughts exactly. Because I could have 4 of them with each one optimally covering 5x5 with PPFD overlap. I've got a gorilla grow tent too. Very tempted to buy the lights and get this setup. I'm eager to put in 4 plants and them being. Grandaddy purple Northern lights Strawberry cough...

This just gets me super keen to get my grow tent setup and spend money on a wise investment. I've got some incredible seeds to plant, Not sure if links are permitted to seed banks but if they aren't I apologise and a moderator can edit it out. -Strawberry cough -Sour diesel -Grandaddy purple...

Just a question regarding the mars QB led's the tsw 2000 vs the tsw 3000. If I purchased 4 of the 2000's I wouldn't get 800+ PPFD every square inch of the canopy. I'm just looking at the PPFD test now and at 1.5x1.5 it's only around 500 So yes the corners would be 1000 or so PPFD but the...

Thanks for the replies everyone, So the general consensus is Diy QB leds will cost me approximately the same if not more than a manufacturer built led. I suppose MARS hydro will be my best option here for maximum coverage and penetration providing a minimum PPFD of at least 800+ everywhere in...

Dear 420magazine community, After quite some time away and contemplating a lighting solution I'm stuck with a lighting solution I should choose. Looking for pro's and con's of the following lighting solutions. Manufacturer LED grow lights (Black dog, Mars hydro, California lightworks ect)...

No problems sounds good, Thanks again SmokeSara. Very excited to get some pictures up once the plants start growing in the tent!

I'm going to settle on 4x mars II 1600's. It shouldn't take me any longer to gather the funds to buy them I just wanted a setup that is optimal for my grow space. The company I purchased the sub-par LED lights from is willing to exchange them. They're exchanging them for 1x Mars II 1600 and...

Thanks for the information you guys have been extremely helpful. :reading420magazine:

That was actually going to be my next question thanks for answering, How did PurpleGunRack figure out the optimal coverage was 1.5x1.5... I know he calculated the average PPFD which I understand how to do but how can I convert any of those numbers into coverage area (for example 1.5x1.5) I...
