G'day/Evening fellowship of RIU Connoisseur's :bigjoint:

I've decided to take a plunge into the Mars Hydro world.

Info on the project:
Tent - 2.5x2.5x5.2ft Mars Hydro tent. Medium: Coco Loco Exhaust: AC Infinity T4 with G Hydro Carbon filter
Strain: Glueberry Muffins by Destiny Genetics Starting container: 16oz Party cup Intake: Passive
Light schedule: 18/6 Nutrients: Advanced Nutrients Connoisseur Air Flow: 6" portable fan
Humidifier for first 3 weeks.

Seed placed in shot glass of water and placed in the closet over night 10/27
Tail shown in the morning 10/28IMG_5663.JPG

Seed placed directly into premoistened Coco loco soil by Fox Farm about a cm deep, pinched the soil over it, and misted with a few sprays
of ph 6.44 water.

Placed the cup on top of a warm seedling mat with a misted baggie over her cup to contain humidity. IMG_5688.JPG

Light is 24" from the rim of the cup at 25% power.
Notice I have removed the driver and dimmer box from the top of the unit.
I have heard many complaints about heat issues, but I contacted Mars Hydro with questions seeing how
they have a new version of the TS1000. The driver has a plug & play cable to connect to the light from the driver that gives the grower 6 feet of slack to place the component (Which gets hot/generates heat in the grow space)
This is all I needed to hear to make it happen.

The Driver has since been screwed into the back of a rolling tray that I now have to replace. :lol:
(Hadn't secured it in the pic yet.)

10/30 at 8:30 pm She decides she wants to join the rest of us. This was the quickest germination I've had so far.
I gave her a little mist before lights out. IMG_5690.JPG

At the end of the day.. she stretched up a little.. probably because of the shell still covering the cotyledons. I let it fall off naturally.

Updates will come 1-2 times a week, or whenever something great happens.

Also for this grow. I will be maximizing the tent with 1 plant. The extraction will be located outside of the tent.

I measured how much distance I will have with the light as high as I can hang it (Straight to the support poles with D rings) 10" pot height.. So I am working with 4 feet of vertical grow space.

For anyone who has heard there is a heat issue in tents with Mars Hydro lights like the one I have, let that rumor be laid to rest today. I ran the light in the tent at full power 150w with no exhaust or open ports. Just the light and a hygrometer in the tent.

Temp was 85.5F after an hour of being closed up.

When you put the filter on the end.... you should put the prefilter on the inside of the canister. The pre filter is there to stop dust clogging up the carbon... its no use if you reverse the intended direction of the filter. Putting it inside will make it last longer

Have you ever had any issues with the seed mat getting to hot or drying up seedlings to fast I think I Wana order one some people say lay a towel in between the mat and the planter

A bro how’s that ac infinity fan I’m thinking about getting 1 so I can split 2 tents

Well it doesn't really kick on much. I have it set:

High temp 84
Low temp 79.
High RH 70%
Low RH: 55%
I set it and forget it. I never notice it coming on if it does. My other tent's fan is always on medium to high. So the AC infinity gets muzzled by the other tent.
