Mini Perpetual LED Auto grow

[DutchDogg617]

Getting ready to start my first grow indoors in years. First attempt at a perpetual grow. First legal grow

2x2x3H Tent
1 Mars 300 led to start, adding a second 300 watt a few weeks in.

10 - GDP autos
5 - sour diesel autos

Medium for is about
2 parts FFOF
2 parts coco
1 part FF perlite

3 gallon fabric pots

So I'll be adding a seed into the mix every 2-2.5 weeks, so I'll have between 4-5 autos going at a time after the first 6 weeks.

Any advice or constructive criticism is welcome.

a lot of the stuff is still in the mail but I'll be adding pictures and videos regularly once it starts going.

1 300w is nowhere near enough light for 15 plants not even in veg. I see your doing 3-4 at a time. Still jot enough. You need to get another one or you will have extremely slow growth. During flower you will need even more light. 3-4 will be very airy small buds with only 2 300w. Unless you perfect training, and don't make any major mistakes throughout the grow. You have robbed really skilled to pulled weight such a small wattage:

I'm not trying to make a fortune, just enough smoke to make it to the next plant, 2 weeks later. I've grown dense nugs with light bulbs I found in my house, and I've grown airy buds under a hps. You gave me no advice. If I had 1000hps I'll get more bud and if I add another, even more. I understand common sense. I've seen and smoked rock hard dense buds grown under this light. So I know it's possible.
Im on a budget, not trying to spend to much on equipment or electrical. Please keep criticism postive and constructive.

I understand, and thank you for trying to help. I'm not saying I'm a pro, but you never need to tell someone they need more lights. We all know that and there is probly a reason we are not using more light.

If you can help me improve based off what I got then thank you. I haven't gotten the second light, so if have a better suggestion on what light to buy for under $150 I'd appreciate that! As of right now I was just gonna get another led

Allowed 12 plants, 6veg 6flo
But again I'm autoflowering for now

If you're in Europe* you could get the 20w Osram Parathom or 13W Philips 1521 lumen bulbs, remove the diffusers and then screw sockets into a piece of wood.
Those should be a bit more efficient than a Mars 300 panel.

Otherwise you've probably already heard enough about DIY cob builds.


But in a 2x2 a Mars 300 should be fine for personal consumption.
Just try it out, it will grow.

Wouldn't buy a second of those panels though.
Better supplement it with LED bulbs with the cover removed.

Say I did have 2 marshydro 300 panels on a perpetual grow, gdp autoflower. 4 plants, one every 2 weeks. What would you estimate yield per plant would be?
I didn't mention above that I'm also using ff nutes as well.

Are the yields of the autos labeled on the website

Impossible to tell, but certainly enough for personal consumption.

 

[DutchDogg617]

Yeah

Impossible to tell, but certainly enough for personal consumption.

That's all I'm looking for, but I do smoke a lot. I'm hoping to get around 2 Oz per plant at some point even if not with this exact set up. I'll upgrade as I go, as I can.

2 zips per plant is doable, not with one mars 300 though. The grows and pics with big plants understand mars panels are running more than what you plant.

I prefer t5 over cheap led panels.

With that one 300 mars I wouldn't expect more than half to an ounce per plant. Maybe less.

You are on the right track with everything else. Hard nugs are from genetics and temps.

One enviorment, and half a dozen plants at different stages? Younger ones need higher humidity, but not on the flowering ones, how do you plan to manage?

I figured autoflowering it wouldn't matter so much, but I guess I can start them in a separate box, or a dome over the younger ones for now.

I have one Marshydro300 right now, I have and extra 150$ to spend on light, what would you do?

Return the first one and get a diy cob kit from timber.

I'm not a fan of mars but with a 150 you could get one or two more mars.
