was that a 300w led man ?
im running 2 180w ufo,s from vipar just wanted to see how u went with it
Hey @rob333 , I think @oilmaker68 is using the 600watt same as a few of us on this thread
Looking good @WazzaX

It was a 600w BUT my yield shouldn't be a benchmark. I had three different strains that needed different height requirements so the smaller plants didn't get enough light. @WazzaX's yield is more characteristic of what to expect.was that a 300w led man ?

I'd say no nearer than 30 cm s away with a 180w led. But another test is the white paper test. Get a sheet of white paper and put it under the light. Move it away and when the spectrum starts to separate then that's too far.

Thought I would chime in a bit on how things are going here with my NLxBB Autoflower. I had vegged her under a 150watt DS100 LED and she did very well, outgrowing her soil counterparts quickly. As soon as I got the new tent and light I set it up and got her in there wiht more head room and the more powerful light.
She did great and I started noticing problems quickly as I wrote it off as LED bleaching. It is w=not and boy will I never make that mistake again. I have a horrible magnesium defficiency. Like I said earlier in the post, do not get lazy with the calmag supplements. Now my plant has suffered from a mistake I should have been keen with as I watch it so carefully. Lesson learned. This is the first Hydro grow I've done so I feel a bit of a beginner again and didn't check the signs that I know the best. Dumb!

Shit bro !
Bad times, I have stated very clearly on here that LED causes the plants to absorb nutes at different amounts. Calmag is a must
Hope you get every thing sorted

The more I thought about it, and the more research I did showed me that I could have magnesium def., phosphate def., or potassium toxicity., lol. What a ride I'm taking with Hydro along with the MH light now!! Well I then started to realize my babies were showing these same signs. I'm like no way do they have that, not a chance in hell. So I am going to turn the light from 20-4 to 18-6. I believe it is a possibility that the sheer amount of light is stressing them, even though they are the plants that can live with 24hr lights. I don't think they can with this type of power though.
I also realized that you guys would have had at the most 18/6 and didn't have these problems so that will be my baseline from now on.

MJA Have you been using calmag? I've been giving mine some until last week because I used a lil too much grow nutrient and burned them they have recovered well after feeding them ph adjusted water for a week I have come to the conclusion the last of the yellowing on my leaves may be mild mag def from a whole week of plain water feeding so today I've gave them a good watering with calmag in and I'm going to start again with nutes next feed. my main problem is having 4 strains and some of them are a different age so feeding is complicated each one seems to like a different level of feed.
I'm definitely going to order another mars hydro reflector 150w next week for the cabinet grow and put one each side to take advantage of every inch of space and flower all 4 in there and I've just got a cheap budget 4" inline fan + carbon filter kit off eBay for smell reduction if it's noisy I'll build a foam lined box around the fan unit and make a mini version of my old home made silencer

@oilmaker68 I tried searching your posts but didnt see it. Are you using 5ml per gallon of calmag for these grows? Having issues with mine and trying to get things squared away. Im using 5 but may up it to 6.25 or even 7.5
Just a thought to all using the Marshydro with the Growth & bloom buttons ,
Does any one have any theory's to why you couldn't use both switches at the same time in veg phase,
When both switches are on, You then of course get the full spectrum going from the start & also the full wattage, which of course will penetrate even better .
Any thoughts guys & gals

well... some say its the same as making a hadron collider if you turn both switches on during veg...but you should try it and be this threads guinea pig...but if a blackhole suddenly happens in your grow tent and sucks out all your plants don't be blaming me

lol...ok ill be serious then...I think in early stages of growth it just wouldn't need that part of the spectrum so its an easy way to save power...although it would be a good test to see any differences but you would probably need 2 rooms growing the same strain for a proper comparison
