Marshydro Led grow...

[oilmaker68]

not bad for a cheap Chinese led that "some" people around here use as doorstops

Ha ha that really made me laugh @WazzaX they are doing a great job in my opinion. There may be some fine tuning of nutes as I beleive the marshydro forces the plant to use more potassium than usual but that could be a medium issue or a nute issue. I've been very pleased so far

Finally sorted out my proxy issue.....here are some pics

Is it winter yet cuz you've got snow on your buds lol! Look at all that frost.. Can't imagine how she's gonna look like on the final week. Amazing work my friend!

Lol I can't take all the credit. The barneys farm pineapple chunk have been really easy to grow. They are beautiful plants. I have just ordered more seeds because I didn't clone any. I will definitely be keeping a mother plant. Need to build a mother room first though but that's for a new thread

Too right even tho I am having probs with my nutes. The lights are awesome !!

Its a learning curve, Under the Budmaster II i have, the plants demand huge amounts of Magnecal but under the mars its potassium.........this thread will hopefully find the optimum nute levels and i believe once its nailed down and dialed in we will be very successful growers

Week 6 of flower, Going to add 13/14PK to the fed until week 7 for a nice boost

Just want to point out that this thread has had over 7000 views. 7000!!! that's huge.

Yes let's hope together we can help bring out the best in the marshydro LEDs I think you are right about the extra K needed it's just how to get it to the ladies but yours are awesome

@oilmaker68 hey oily lol any ideas of how to up my potassium levels without leaving out the calmag ! Tried the ok 13/14 but don't think it will be enough! By the way for making this thread such a good source of info on the marshydro

canna make bottles of potassium. Get a bottle of that and just add it to your nutes. I Use 1ml/L and i haven't seen any progression.

 

[oilmaker68]

If I were you @siouxiesioux I'd use 1ml/L calmAg (if youre not already) and add 1ml/L K. Are you DWC ? If so empty out your res and start a fresh. Also just check your PH is between. 5.5-6.2.

 

[siouxiesioux]

Thanks just gonna add 1 ml already emptied out res looks like nute burn now so gonna keep it all lower for a bit see if it works out thanks

Nute burn ? Are the tips crispy and dryed out

[WazzaX]

very nice stenkonia ... you must be happy so far?

looking good @stenkonia
Have you topped them to get them to grow like that ?

 

[WazzaX]

a few pics just before lights on end of week 4 ... still going ok... both plants are now drinking close to 3 ltrs a day between them...starting to push the nutes pretty hard and have the ppm set to approx 1000

very nice mate. They are getting frosty Really looking forward to seeing everyones finished plants.

Fantastic thread. Loads of useful detail. Nice photos. I'm looking forward to seeing how productive the grow end up being. Best of luck, you're clearly putting plenty of energy into it, so I hope you're rewarded for that.

Hi guys been an avid reader of this thread for a while and you guys have convinced me to start a new LED side project with a Mars hydro 150w reflector and a spare seedling of purple Alaskan ice x super silver haze im in the middle of a boom cycle and about to start off a fresh batch of seeds in my prop so didn't have anywhere to keep an extra young seedling in my usual setup so I thought fuck it Lets try something new she's just gone straight out the propagator at 3" tall (very very small I know but there was nowhere else for her to go) and under the marshydro 150w reflector I'm using hydrococo 60/40 for the media At the min she's only being fed natural spring water with a ph of 6.5 I'm usually a 100% organic soil grower so I'm pretty new to using nutes and I hear growing with LEDs can require quite a detailed approach to nutrients can anyone offer any advice? I'm thinking of using botanicare kindgrow/bloom base nutrients and calmag pro
