The Mars Hydro TSL2000 were about $200-240 each. They like everything else keep going up.
$287 on Amazon right now, wow yeah they do keep going up I’d say lol, how do you feel they are for the plants, can you control the % etc? I’m in for the long haul trying to keep costs down but with how o stated before the wife wants a vegetable tent so I can always repurpose lights etc. I do plan to finish out my first grow with my current lights, wanna see what they do with the plants through harvest. I have another 20 auto seeds to run through Hindu Kush x3. Candy kush x2, gorilla glue x2, and master OG x3 (none started yet) I’d love to start some photos I’m already practicing no entering the tent during dark period just to train myself mostly , hard with my work schedule I work 12 hour swing shifts, I believe I have my humidifier refilling down now I can fill every 18 hours and work 12-16 hours at a time (plus a 45 minute drive each way) my wife is home all day and homeschools our kids so in a pinch I can ask her to do some tent care I just try not to if not 100% neededThe Mars Hydro TSL2000 were about $200-240 each.

So far I’m lucky with temps using the 2x KingLED 1500w lights with veg switch only on I have a radiator space heater that kicks on constantly (perks of having a oversized grow tent I’m guessing) so with a 4” spider farmer fan / carbon filter at 40% im controlling temps and humidity good, I know my temps get much hotter once I switch on that bloom switch though lol so we’ll see then, if I do start a vegetable tent I can always repurpose lights so it’ll be an option to upgrade lights if neededYea light works for me ,but is mediocre at best . It is probably all that is needed.
I have learned a higher power light takes the temps much higher in the room.
No one this site would recommend MarsHydro..
I would say run them both almost all the time except when seedlings and very young, but I am not sure about your light .I have seen people say to run the bloom switch and veg switch on during veg but not sure if it’s needed or if it’s just a waste of power
Decided to turn in bloom switch earlier today besides having to open the bottom tent flap all the way and bump up the fan another 10% temps are back under control and humidity hanging around 55-60% , had to pick up the lights higher that bloom switch really changes the heat intensity in the direct light but within about an hour and a half the plants all leaned into the lights so they seem like they really liked it lolI would say run them both almost all the time except when seedlings and very young, but I am not sure about your light .
Depending on how long you veg I would run both after 1 month old.
The plant loves light in both phases, and actually in nature/outdoors gets its strongest sun in veg .
My room now in veg is 75% ,the 2 week old seedlings are at 50%.
Both probably 18 above .Mostly staying up for light spread .
I would and do. My MH FC-E 4800 is a beast. I cant even run it over 75% without frying my plants and IDK what the fuss about MH is here. lolYea light works for me ,but is mediocre at best . It is probably all that is needed.

I re cut the ends I hand cut with a miter saw and have them on stand by . Nice clean edges.What happened to your bar light that you chopped in half?
I am thinking of flipping the cuts not the plant getting cut. Even if they are sacrificial I will know who is who among all the plants .I would give plants a week to recover from a topping before flipping but that's just me, others may feel differently.

Figure that is how to separate the males before it matters ?
Looking a little better .Prolly Cal for the grape gas. I use stonington blend as well with great results. She seems young to have anything arise. Is it time to transplant? Fresh nutrient rich soil should do the trick. You said you fed with terp tea and cal/mag so things should be all good now. I’ve somehow been able to keep a mom healthy in a 4in square Pot using the terp tea.
Fora plant that small you shouldn’t have to use more than 5ml of the roots organics cal/mag. Atleast from my experience… I up the dosage as they get bigger tho and into flower.Looking a little better .
I up potted from the 1 g to 3g with all Stonington to fill the difference on Tuesday.
The RO calcium mag and the terp tes have the proper proportions but now even my grow room is showing Ca def. I never had this with Jacks321 Ca...
I will just work my dosing up till all is good hopefully .
Thanks for checking in on me , I appreciate the follow up on the GG.
