Yeah I'm not saying to add CO2, that's a lot of (expensive) work, and yeah those bags don't work.

I'm just saying to use only the most light that your footprint can use, no need for a ton of lights, only if you are using CO2.

For co2 supplementation anything less than a fuel burner style generator or actual co2 tank with regulator is not going to reasonably and consistently enrich the grow space with co2. You're correct the mu
Just for reference here are my 4 plants with my 600 watt light at 50% No need for C02 to enhance growth IMO. This is in a 4X4 just like you are running.

You say Co2 isn't necessary until you've tried it. Anyhow this thread is about Mars Hydro LED lights.

No I say CO2 isnt necessary because it isnt in my specific setup. Yes C02 has its place but it is also not necessary in many setups.

I haven’t received my 3 other lights or tent yet both are about 8 days out . They look glorious in there ! Excited to start my first indoor . They’re up and going already but in make shift environments with only 1 ts1000 . So the upgrade will be super satisfying I hope! Besides fox farm trio nutes and cal mag plus , is there any other additives that make a noticeable difference?

I started with plain FFOF, and have turned it into no-till since.

The Fox Farm Trio doesn't get a lot of love here. I'm not a fan, but I grow organically. GH gets better reviews here if you wanna use chems.

Honestly I grow in Coco so I would not be the guy to reccomended stuff for soil. I am sure you will be happy with your upgrades. I am sure some others some advice on feeding for you. Happy Growing :)

What do you mean “ no till “ and gh is what brand ?

Look up no-till. It's basically just reusing the same soil without tilling or remixing it. I cut the stem at the base, let it sit for a bit, and plant another plant in the same spot. I've only been trying it for a couple years though indoors. But I've basically been doing that with my outdoor garden for years.

GH stands for General Hydroponics. It's another chemical nutrient brand.

But like I said, I don't use chemicals in my no-till soil. Organics only. I do have the GH Trio and some coco to try for fun, but I wouldn't add it to my soil. Lots of people use chemicals with soil, but it's not my thing.

Interesting . I did this with my old soil for a replant on some poorly treated plants . I put them all in my last grows soil so I could save my new ff soil for more plants . I did however till it . Removed old roots and kept the soil .

You don't remove the roots with no-till. They break down and get turned back into nutrients by the microbes.
