Hello, very helpful info here. I am currently in the process of setting up my first grow! I'm going to use a rdwc hydro setup with 5 gallon buckets. I have ordered 4 of these lights. What is your opinion? Should I go with these? I may add a few of those "UFO" lights once flowering time comes around if needed. How many plants/buckets do you think I can get away with? I was thinking 16-20 to start. Amazing with your knowledge and very impressed!
Hi
@chadchad, and welcome to the thread!!.....Glad to hear you have gone for the marshydro !! I have not been disapointed by this LED at any point. its been reliable, sturdy and cool. top led growlight also have great customer service so for $250 a piece i cant grumble so far....im in my second week of flower with this light and so far all is well. I will keep final judgement until the grow is over and dried and weighed.
If youre new to growing my advice is to use well known nutes and keep things as simple as possible, use calmag/Magnecal at every watering because the LED causes the plant to absorb more than normal. im confident in recommending the 600w for a footprint of 1.0m2 so with 4 id keep my grow area at 2.0m2 and put maybe 4 plants in each square meter.(16 in total).. itll look sparce for a while but once they hit flower they will fill your room
heres some pics i just took
I am hoping this thread evolves into a little community for us mars growers so please add any pic you want and if you have any ???s please ask
PEACE
