    Mars Hydro warning

    I don't want to write a book here but I purchased 2 fc-8000's for $860 each around the 420 sales. The 1st unit burned up and melted in 1 week. Now I have over 15 emails back and forth with there "solutions" department and have made very little progress. I have supplied several pictures of a...

    Far red EOD

    Who is using far red and what light time is giving you the best results? 660nm, 730nm, or both? 15 minutes before lights on in flower? Last hour of lights on? 15 minutes after lights out? How about anytime in veg? This topic seems to be evolving at light speed, (pun intended) along with over all...

    Building far red strips

    I would like to build red strips for the (Eod) emerson effect. I found some I think will work well. . I have a 5x9 canopy. Im new to led's and have never built a light yet. My question is how many strips do I need? My thought is 2 16" strips in parallel per 36" heatsink. Then a total of 4- 36"...

    Mars hydro FC-8000 or fc-e8000

    Mars hydro has no discount on either led for 420. I found disappointing. Ok, so whats the better deal before 420 sales end? Best prices i can find are as follows. FC-8000, which has 2968 Samsung led's, for $817 each. OR FC-E8000, which has 3928 bridgelux led's, for $706 each. Almost 1000...

    How many led's?

    I mentioned in another thread that I bought my first led's for my mother plants. I have been amazed at the lack of heat. So, I have been looking at strip lights. Specifically the mars hydro fc 8000. I recently purchased a 5x9 gorilla tent. Now I am considering 2 fc-8000 or 6 fc-3000's. The...

    Multiple strains in a recirculating system

    I have always heard not to run multiple strains in a recirculating system. I'm wondering if this is true or just bro-science. It does make sense to me that different strains require different nutrient ratios, especially for flower. What about veg? Plants are much smaller and for the...

    Suitable Led for mother plants?

    Ok, the title is what I'm looking for. I am on my last T5 bulbs that I have over my mothers. My mother area is a table, 4.5ft x 3ft. I have 0 experience with Led's yet, so I want advice. All of the data for Led's is focused on veg and flower, more than I think I will need. I am thinking of 2...

    Dtw kit

    I started in soil years ago. I have been doing ebb and flow buckets with hydroton for the last 5 years. I am thinking of switching to dtw coco. Most people today say dtw coco gets the best results. I like the ease of a kit rather than guessing what components work best together. Has anyone had...

    Led supplement for Hps

    I am trying to supplement my Hps. I found this led bar from agromax. https://www.htgsupply.com/products/agromax-led-solo-strip-total-blue-grow-light/ I'm not sure if I trust it. 95% output is 400nm-500nm. Sounds great? They really don't give shit for numbers. Ppfd, par ratings, etc are all...
