Welcome New Members!

I found something about led and hps comparison, may help you choose the right light for the grow. https://www.mars-hydro.com/info/hps-vs-led.html

Pros and Cons of different grow light

Light is very important for every plants, someone would like to use HPS, someone would like the natural sun light or led grow lights, so what the difference?

Pros of HPS Grow Lights

1. HPS are the most efficient type of grow light
2. HPS grow lights are the most efficient and the best for the flowering stage.
3. HPS lights are simple to use

Cons of HPS Grow Lights

1. HPS bulbs get really hot and generate a lot of heat
2. Additional setup – you need other exhaust fans to dissipate the heat
3. More parts - HPS lighting means a few more parts than other types of lighting.

Pros of LED grow light

1. LEDs almost always have built-in cooling that pushes heat up and away from the plants
2. Plug and play
3. Some growers believe LEDs produce more resinous bud and Higher THC, will shorten the growth time.

Hi folks
Just joined so hope im in the right spot anyway Got a few bag seeds from some nice cheese, ive grown a few b4 but never took it to the flowering stage So bought some decent soil and using jungle juice ferts. I live in the uk n literally 2 months of blazing sun all day so the plants been out from 10-11 am til bout 8pm when ive had them indoors on the nite ive just had them in a l8ttle wood box under 3 cfl bulbs for bout 3-4 hours. She seems to b female is growing well is 18 inch tall and im on 9 finger fan leaves on the top now. So i wasnt sure she would take off and i have not got a set up for flowering, was wondering if anyone had any ideas for a 1 plant set up as i no it needs 12 hrs total darkness as i would actually like to try flower this one and if all went well i would defo invest in a small grow tent n get some clones on the go. Anyway would love to hear peoples thoughts on my plant n any comments appreciated its only in a 5-6 litre pot too as didnt want it getting to tall
Annyway look forward to any replies peace out

First off make sure you have a DEDICATED space to flower. The uninterrupted darkness is what your plant needs to flower, so light leaks or moving/interrupting its 'sleep' is detrimental. A closet, or box, laundry room, you dont need much for 1 plant 2ft X 2ft is plenty. You biggest issue is heat and air flow in the small space. Fans, Fans, and more fans or if you're blessed with an AC unit. I have a house closet, with 2 fans going, one blowing in, one kinda blowing up and out(not the best, but works atm). I keep the door with a cracked a few inches during lights on, and when lights go off I close down and keep my room dark as possible, I have my timer going off when it gets dark outside to help with the light leaking. I close door (fans remain on) when its bed time.

i have that tapatalk,download on phone app store and install, it need a google account or you can use facebook to register in, probably need a vpn if you are in other location then you can connect to the network, recently days my tapatalk also cannot be used dont know why, I will delete it and download again it.

Thanks buddy I'll try later

unfortunately i bring some bad news, this morning my fiend signed a brand new light, the marspro ii 320led ordered last week and it arrived today, but it was badly damaged even cannot fix well and it in non-useable, i believe. and my friend called me and told me about this. that's really bad, i never meet such a bad time never.

I am not sure why my friend accepted it. since from the out package i can judge inside the light in a very damaged condition. The Fedex courier said it passed their quality assurance check,that's fucking funny!!! NEVER TRUST the BULLSHIT!!! as you can see the light is very damaged. that i recommended my friend to purchase from Marshydro led, I contact the guys from mars company, they said need a case number,and once send the case number to them they will ship a new light again. I know it's not their fault and we should sign it actually, I must claim the Fedex service, reall do a bad service,my friend was unhappy. I hope this issue can be solved soon and then they ship a new light to my friend,too bad. i must say mars hydro is helpful always, and get response timely always, but if they can ship a new light to my friend now and later to continue the claim we think we will be much happier, right now i can only wait for the Fedex service take our case asap.


So next time anyone of you meet such a situation, you need to refuse to sign the broken package no matter what the courier said. they are shit.

just keep you guys updated. the mars agreed to ship a new light to my friend, and we'll continue to claim fedex and get a case number to help mars hydro .

We are new here, and looking forward to what we can learn. Growing wise, and research for medicinal progress with cannabis. We are in Arizona where we have medicinal laws on board, and are struggling, as we did with that initiative, to get grow rights as a citizen in this state. We have to fight to get it on the ballot, then even when our citizens speak, they ignore or find some reason to stall. It took 3 votes for medicinal, and several tries to get it on the ballot at all. I guess I need to sharpen our pencils to find the petitions, but it looks like we will not have cannabis vote in Arizona 2018. Any good advice for a newbie would be appreciated! Thanks in advance

PLEASE HELP !
The two cotyledon leaves(round leaves) are curling off and turning little brown at the tip. Is it fine ?

How to understand this, really burnt my head


"Ready for Harvest
Harvest when 60-70% of hairs have darkened for highest levels of THC.
Harvest when 70-90% of hairs have darkened for a more calming
anti-anxiety effect as some THC turns to the more relaxing CBN"

Well that all depends, how far along are they? If new leaves are growing above and past the cotyledon, then yes they are fine, I'd personally remove them. But if they are the solo or close to be the only growth you have and they are curling either its too hot, not enough/too much water(poor drainage), PH problem, or you burnt them with nut's; either by adding too much or your soil may be to "hot" for the seedlings, and you're in trouble so early. That's all I got with the info provided... Good luck!

Holy Grail Kush , A hybrid dense buds appearing at 9 to 10 weeks terps .66 weeks of hard work grow . I harvest 10lb not bad for a rare hybrid

Registered about a month ago, and now that I got going I figured I'd actually post. I'm planning on posting some pics, but I guess I need a post or 2 first. so here it goes!

I'm probably one of those rare people that didn't get interested in this until after it became legal locally. My wife has some pain issues and I figured I have the space and like to garden, so why not give it a shot!

Sorry guys, I am new and dont know how to start a thread. So, I bought 3 different seeds for experiment and planted them in a big cement pot thinking it is not going to work. Damn, they got big. I am growing them just in front of the window. I don't remember the species anymore. I think I have one silver haze and one skunk but no idea which one and the third one I forgot completely. I have yellow dust on 4 of the 6 plants. Those 4 are all from the same seed I am guessing because I had planted only 3 seeds. I don't see any balls that would indicate male plant. I don't know what it is, I don't even know which weed it is. Can you help me please, I've looked over the website, someone wrote in another thread that it might be bugs but it looks like yellow stuff is coming from the nodes on top.

Sup, peeps! New here, Just sayin' hi.
