Is that US prices?
Have you checked out the mars hydro thread on here, you can ask anything you need to know, and get a discount if you decide to buy that brand.
Would probably still save me a few bucks tho, thanks
after doing some research i am leaning more towards Budget LED, but I will look there for more info. thank you
i appreciate the feedback. light fluffy buds are not what i want. id rather invest properly up front to get the top quality product. i hate half assing stuff, cheaping out or "just winging it". they say how you do SOMETHING is how you do EVERYTHING, so i put max effort into everything i do. also one of "the four agreements" is to always do your best, and that mindset has greatly improved my life in every possible area.
I heard good things about Budget LED, this is my first indoor and I went with mars before hearing about the other.
after a pushbike accident this grow has been very hands off. Oft gone a whole week relying on the gravity auto watering and only added nutes twice.
glad you recovered and are enjoying the new light.My 2c worth.
Doing my first exclusively LED grow at the moment. Going to flip 12/12 in a couple of days.
Using the Mars Hydro TSW2000 in a 4x4 tent. Due to some hospital time
Happy with the lights. Heat load lower than the couple of hps / led combo i was running last time and plant seem to have grown just as well. Main thing though is needed to cut power costs and have gone from around 1100W down to 300W out of the wall, and from 2 to 1 fan out of the tent. Light from this led is much more sunlight like than the burple ones. Keeps it simple.
Will have to see about yield in g / day come harvest, but seems to be going well so far.
What kinda plant is that looks awesomeGo with LED's, the thing about LED's is ignore the equivalent watts. The important thing on LED's is from the wall wattage. 1000w equivalent normally pulls 150-200w wall (it varies).
In a 4x4 you'd need 500+ watts from the wall LED.
Budget LED makes a 250w for $329 after 420MAG discount code. High end lights, Samsung Diodes with meanwell drivers. If budget is an issue Mars Hydro ts2000 would work less expensive.
9 autos is a lot for a 4x4, chances are you'd lose yield with overcrowding. I sometimes run two in a 3x3 and it's a crowded cluster fluck. Five would be more realistic. If you're using small planters 9 might make sense.
Here's a 3x3 tent with one auto so you can see what I mean, 7 gal soil smart pot, yield 6oz.
Hey gang, a few questions here but I will try to keep it brief. I did some indoor grows way back when and journaled them on planetskunk.com
I am looking to run a dual tent setup (2x4 mother tent with a 4 bulb t5, and a 4x4 flower tent with ???).
My first question is, for the 4x4 tent, would you all recommend a solid 1000w HPS, or a high end 1000w equivalent LED? (a friend recommended horticultural lighting group's hlg550) I am a bit paranoid about LED as I did a grow with them when they first came out about 15 years ago and was super underwhelmed, but they seem to have improved and the less heat/less power thing seems attractive. My #1 priority here is quality and yield.
I am going to run 9 autos in the 4x4 tent just to be productive while I can veg out and select a mother for the real project, which is 0 veg SOG. Which brings me to my second question.. Could you all recommend a strain that would be great for SOG? My favorite all time strain is OG Kush. I love skunky chunky indicas. But a good creative cerebral hybrid is awesome, as I do stand up comedy and love the stimulation hybrids and sativas can provide. Ultimately I'm looking for 2 strains that would do well as 0 veg, lollipop style, single cola clones. Ideally high yielders that finish in 8ish weeks.
For my interim auto project, I've chosen fastbuds OG Kush, Grapefruit, and Cream Cookies (cause some lucky bastardo/a snatched up the blackberry before I could check out). I am probably going to do them in 3 gallon hempy buckets and journal this whole thang.
Also, lastly, and this is a LONGGGG shot, but does anyone remember from the planet skunk days in like 06-08, a strain/breeder called Celtic Stone? Does anything like that still exist anywhere?
Your help is greatly appreciated!
thanks for your info!
I have one myself - what a great light - can't believe the yields I am getting compared to the Galaxyhydro led (Cheap china light) any way you will not regret it - going to get one more For seed and breeder reference look ar "Seedfinders.eu" they have over 17,000 different strains listed and believe about 1,000 breeders I use this when looking at seeds
nice! what is your setup besides the light? what grow space and strains? what kinda yields? sounds nice
