thats what id hoped for when it started, there was NO info on these units and the people who'd paid $600 for LEDs were very negative towards them. maybe to justify the price tag they had paid. i also grow with a $1000 Budmaster 2 But ive found these units to be well worth the $300 and i have grown my best plants with the MHLed so that says it all.Thank you oilmaker, this thread seems like the HUB for MARS growers and the more people posting and troubleshooting the better for everyone.
Hey mate and welcome...What are your temps getting to on some of the hot days?
What percentage of the lights would you say the switches on the 600W take out? just for solar system calculating
Has any1 heard of LED's hitting the gram a watt mark?
Reflector or no reflector?
Great tread and keep up the awsome grow reports
Cheers
It looks to me like you may have a problem causing other problems so whilst you're diagnosing a mg def it's actually mg def being caused by something else. A lockout of sorts. You definitely have signs of mg deficiency but I doubt that's what is causing it. I presume you use e.c to calculate nute and check your ph often so if suggest a water change and a fresh batch of nutes. If you haven't seen an improvement using Epsom salts then it's defo a lockout. Salts work fast. It's not K def. 100% sure on that. It looks like you have nute burn. Do you have crispy ends on the leaves ? K def doesn't make them crispy. It makes them limp and lifeless. I think you have a sodium build up which is causing all sorts of issues. Let us know how you get on. PH 5.5-6.2.Well Wazzax, I am definitely doign a whole water change on the babies tomorrow. Hopefully this crap clears up. I'm not so sure about the K def, but it is something that I have looked into as well. Hopefully something gets put right soon, I'm going to have a coronary.

Is your res too warm ? Might be the strain too.Well Wazzax, I am definitely doign a whole water change on the babies tomorrow. Hopefully this crap clears up.

Cheers...3 weeks from flip to 12/12They look spectacular for 3 weeks of flower. Is that 3 weeks from 12/12 flip or from from first sign of flower?
Ya know I really could never figure it out, but my guess now (promise it is my last hypothesis) is that I got root rot and it locked out the nutes in a very critical time in growing. Having the LED on full blast while the big plant was in there made it too warm ambiently and made the res buckets too warm is my thought. This would explain the trouble I had diagnosing the problem and why they stayed so small because they didn't have anything necessary to keep them growing. Damn! I will start more soonIs your res too warm ? Might be the strain too.
