hi y'all
today i received my Mars Hydro LED growlight. I have raised my Fem seeds with 2x300w CFLs but felt it lacked power and penetration when it came to veg. I already tried the cfls with 2 x Lemon ice seeds i had and they haven't grown well into veg so decided i needed another LED.
I went for the Mars Hydro because the price of Budmaster II lights (that i flower with) are ridiculous (even though they are phenomenal)
As there is little info available on these specific units i decided to have a punt. Also they have U.S stock which was a bonus.
I am growing 3 strains, all from Amsterdam. I planted them on 24/6/2014 except Incredible Bulk which was planted 4 days later
3x Bulldog Chronic THC - 20% 650gm/m2
3x Pineapple Chunk THC - 25% 650gm/m2
1x incredible Bulk THC - 24% 1000gm/m2 <yes, that's what the breeder claims
I am planning on foliar feeding the "runts" as the experimental feed i have claims it will force the runts to catch up to the bigger plants (i doubt it)
light specs :
Nutrients :
Magne-cal+ by plant magic 1ml/L
Bio Green Grow 1 1ml/L
Experimental foliar spray 3xpw
Water:
Tap water PH'd to 5.8
Currently hand watered but will be switching to gravity fed drip feed ASAP
Medium :
Amsterdam Gold Label COCO
Temp:
24c - 27c
RH :
50% - 60%
if ive forgotten to mention anything i'll add it later.
heres some Pics to get started

ignore the plants on the right, they are for cloning then the best two will be added to the grow later. I plan to add a gravity fed drip feed system so ill add pics of that next.
ill post new pics and updates as i go, feel free to add any comments or ideas.
