Greetings farmers
This will be my journal for a pre98 bubba kush and an afghani. I am using the mars hydro reflector series with the upgraded 5w chips for lighting. I am growing in 7 gal smart pots using coco. I use Cana coca a&b with botanicare cal mag. Ph of 5gal res is between 5.8 and 6.2.

Pre 98 bubba will be known as pbk and afghani will be known as afg.

Week one veg

Pbk- 5 inches tall with 1 1/2 leaf
Seems healthy just slower growth than afg

Afg- 5 inches tall with 3 inch leaf
Fast growth but seems more sensitive to ph and nute level fluctuations.

Thanks for joining!

Nice thread.
Can you provide a link to the specific lamp you purchased, and do you know what the power draw is?
An end to end grow log under one LED will be very interesting.

 

[Theapprentice]

Hey thanks for following!
Here is the link with all info.
I checked the power consumption and it's pretty accurate.

 

[Dunge]

Thanks.
So probably 144 Watts, right?

general rule of thumb is divide by 2. like i am currently running a marsii 1200 flower only spectrum and it pulls 593 at the wall. i love the results so far been running it for a year. not quite the yeilder of my 600 watt hid but i see better quality hash from same cut under led.

 

[Theapprentice]

Actually no, when the veg lights are on its like 140 and when flower is on its just below 400

 

[uns420]

i said general rule, the leds i have experience with except the apollo the apollo was closer to divide by 3.5/4that held true. i just went to check mine its bouncing between 539 and 540 and it is a year old

 

[Theapprentice]

Cool man, I was looking at those but I got the reflector series because of the shape of my room

 

[uns420]

i might invest in one of those in the future honestly, i want to run my dual arc hid and led. to see what kind of results i can get with a crazy spectrum mix like that. i

 

[Theapprentice]

That's an interesting idea. I have run a 4K hps grow before. Didn't like the electric bill or the heat. For me the Mars led seemed like a logical choice.

Hey farmers
Hope all is well, things are doing great in my garden! I decided to add a screen to help me train my plants. It it's 1 foot above the base of the plant with 4 inch squares.
