'lo Sara!

Right now, about 25 or so. The numbers will go up though, as I still have space and a cloner with cuts...
Photos will be finalized in 4.5L square pots, autos in 3 gallon hempys.
Future runs will be primarily the 4.5L pots, as I can run most autos OD where I live year around.

I don't know what it will look like come August, but I'll try to get a pic or two in before the entry deadline

 

[Mars Hydro]

wow,25 girls,that is a big party.
So you will harvest every month,it's wonderful.I'm sure they will be wide and bushy in August,it will be cannabis sea by that time

Hi guys a small picture for you all to enjoy of the Heavy weight Seeds - Goldmine at day 53 day of flower. with about two and a half week to go.

Vegged under the 48x5w reflector series. First two weeks of flower under the 48x5w reflector series. then two week under the marsII400 and then i installed the 48x5 as a site light supplement about a month or so into flower.

to all of ya'll in my Mars Fam.

 

[Mars Hydro]

Growers,check out our new design,if you get any opinions,please feel free to tell us here.If you guys like it,we will prepare to produce it by the end of this month.

[Mars Hydro]

I like the design, I think the shelving unit is a interesting addition... is it partitioned off from the main tent space? I don't see a separation wall in any of the pics, but I'm on a smartphone.
You might consider adding an extra 2" strip of the mylar to the interior right above the zipper so it drops down over the zipper seam once zipped up. It won't take away from the aesthetics and adds an extra layer of protection from potential stitching light leaks.

I think one of the biggest problems I've found recently is that most tents aren't that hydro friendly in regards to ports for plumbing. You either have to run your pvc through the electrical port (which I refuse to do) or cut a hole in the tent for floor level access. I wound up hand watering my last harvest because I didn't have the heart to cut a hole in the big tent.

Just some feedback and thoughts on what I'd like to see when I get ready for my next tent

How are you Klovneposen?

She smells great. and i have to tie up buds everyday now cus they fall over due to the weight in them. thinking about maybe entering her into your picture contest if she keeps up at this speed untill harvest. she is pretty heavy taking the small light i used in the start of flower and my small space into consideration i think.

I have not topped her at all. i just tied her down when she was a sprout. and then let her do the rest, just training her branches a bit in the beginning..

 

[Mars Hydro]

I'm glad that you like it.I also like this design,it enable growers grow plants:seedling,Veg,flowering at the same time,do not need to move them around.And the small tool bag is so cute,right?
We do not have the price list yet.If our grower need it, we will start to produce,otherwise we will not.
So any opinions are appreciated.

Maybe you could add some kind of curtain mounted with velcro or something that could seperate the two small shelfs from the big room making people capable to veg on those to small shelfs while flowering in the main room. it wuld work perpetual then. like my small closet with one small seedling room 12w bottom left room - a small veg room 40w bottom right and then my flowerroom with the mars lights in the top main room.

old outdated picture

when growing in small space this will produce way more then having only one room i think. with correct strains i can harvest every 8 week. thats 6 and a half havest pr year. instead of maybe 3-4. and if i start the first week of the 12/12 cycle in my veg room i can even get a bit more harvest done pr. year but properly with less of a yield of course but if your a strain surfer who likes to change it up a bit thats just awesome getting more harvests done JMO.

 

[Mars Hydro]

Thanks for you genius ideas,I think that is a good idea to add mylar to the interior about the zipper.
Yeah,the shelving is side part of the main space.

You mean you want a hole in the tent for floor level access?
I will tell our engineer about your suggests.
If you got any more ideas ,please feel free to let me know.

I'm sure they smells like perfume
I understand that you need to tie them up,they look very heavy
Yeah,i think you should join in the contest,your girls looks awesome.
You didn't top her? wow,she is really doing a good job then

Thanks for you nice advice,you like seperate the two small shelfs form the bigh room? I will tell our engineer,i think they can do something about that.
Your set-up looks good,you install it by yourself?
yeah,strain is one of the most important factors for the yield,harvest every 8 weeks sounds very nice.

I consulted with our engineer,we add black strips to the interior right above the zipper to our new tent,with the same material of our tent.When you zip up the tent,the strips will cover the zipper seam,so it will avoid light leak from inside.

[420Amard]

the tent would be better with a dividing wall...

 

[Mars Hydro]

Thanks for you suggest,so you also like separate space,i noticed many growers like divide it,i will tell our engineer.
How is your girls this week?

yep i think a mylar separation curtain with velcro mounting system would be great for that tent. would make it much more versatile.

And yes i made my closet myself. electrics and such temperature controling unit and such i bought on ebay for nothing i have a gravety auto watering system i have not installed on top of the closet yet but thats gonna be great when i get the time to get around to it i used to have a house with a quite decent HPS growroom using 2000w. but had to downsize it when i moved from house to a realysmall apartment quite a bit so started up again small scale with the led's like two years ago after a break for two years or so. i really love the leds for growing smal scale they are just awesome.
