Looking nice Chef! Zoom in with the camera.. if you feel you can't stay still to get a good shot.. do a video.. and flip thru the frames and screenshot them. Take it from me.. I drink lots of coffee so my trigger fingers have turrets lol

It is cute thanks
And that’s only 40 days into flower and only 2 plants. I could have got hps ect but I’d rather not blow the bank on hydro bills Especially because I grow for my meds and a hobby. I don’t sell or distribute so I’d be spending as much per grow on hydro as I would buying crap meds for over inflated prices from street dealers and govt sanctioned dispensary. I’d rather spend what I do on hydro with my LEDs
But thank you

the cost to run a 600 is negligible compared to weight returned. but to each their own, happy growing

Good evening from snowy Canada people
Quick update on my Mars Hydro Cup entry
My 2x2 Bud journal with Mars Hydro Ts1000. Things looking good on day 47 of flower under the Ts1000. Almost week seven of flowering for these girls, showing nice “fall” colours now. Trichs still all clear on both plants no real signs of clouding yet. But hopefully soon, I’m getting antsy lol. Gave them what will hopefully be there last feeding this week but will keep scoping the trichs for sure.
Been a long day and not much to say, enjoy the pics people and happy growing

Hey friends time for another 2x2 bud journal for the Mars Hydro Cup!
Opinions it’s Day 52 of flower for these 2 girls. Was thinking of lights out 24-36hrs next tues/weds, but I’ll scope trichs then. I scooped them this am and the buds still have some clear trichs, but almost all rest are milky with a few Amber here and there. She’s till growing some white pistols and I’d like them to fatten up a bit but not sure if I have time. They’re starting to fade nicely and clocks ticking lol.
What’s everyone’s opinions?
Lights out/dry/chop next week? @ 8 weeks or week after @ 9 weeks
Thank you again Mars Hydro for the great light
Happy Growing peoples.

Hey everyone
Welcome to what might be the 2nd last entry for this grow journal for Mars Hydro Cup!
I went and finally did it yesterday....after scoping the trichs over the last week or so. And watching the girls fade drastically, I killed them lol day 57 of flower but they’re time had come. Trichs were all cloudy with 10% or so amber, so I chopped them whole, took the fans off and hung them in there home. Taking down the Mars Hydr Ts1000 that has worked so well over these past 8 weeks and stringing the girls up on its place. Don’t worry though that Ts1000 isn’t going anywhere, only removed temporarily for the drying process. She’s going back up in a week tops to begin flowering a very large clone of one of these girls in a 3G fabric pot solo. It’s been a blast using Ts1000, worked amazing. Couldn’t have been happier with its preformance, gonna go for even bigger harvest next time tune in for that grow journal. And come back and view the weigh in in 2 weeks after it’s dry and been in jars a 7-10days.
Enjoy the pics
And thank you again Mars Hydro!!! It’s been a great journey using your product, disappointing I didn’t win the new light but all the same I’m very pleased with my Ts1000 light and will be upgrading to more of your products as soon as I can.
HAPPY GROWING Everyone!!

Final update for this journal
It’s been a blast writing it, I hope everyone has enjoyed following as well.
So after 6 days hanging the girls were finally dry enough to trim and manicure them. Spent a full 3hrs in trim jail this am and here’s the final result. 5.25oz or 147g of bud from the 2 girls. Given the Mars Hydro Ts1000’s actual power draw of 150w from the wall. 147g=0.98g per Watt, that’s a good haul people. I’d give the Ts1000 a With results like that.
Thanks for following people, new journal coming this time one plant in same setup. Can I beat this harvest?? We’ll find out
Enjoy the pics people
Happy Growing
