Grow under Mars Epistar 320

[Cannibas grower]

Hello All,
I've decided to restart my new Thread here.

My friend bought the new light Mars Epistar 320 to me, and I decided to try it over some new strains (for me) to get things dialed in for a few runs.
My first impressions:
1) WOW!Nice Kit!!The Epistar 320 is massive, powerful, and with the model that I received (with the remote control!) is just a pleasure to work with!
2) I am currently running a pair of Acapulco Gold and one Amman's Sour Diesel under it (got it just as I was putting them into flower) and the plants have gotten BIG!I try to keep my plants under 3 foot, both for control over the grow as well as to make it easier to keep within my legal quotas here in the State of Maine. The AG Girls are at nearly 4 feet, and the ASD is close behind. The spectrum and intensity of this panel is beyond my expectations- it's just Top Shelf!

I will post some of today's pics, after I get this initial post up (need to upload from my mobile device...)

So, Welcome, midstream, to my new Grow!

Please come along for the journey, pull up a comfy chair, and grab some smoke from the stash room!

What light were you running before this and how does it compare? Also what size grow space?

I used Mars reflector 192 before, compare to Mars Pro II 320, I think 320 is more powerful, and I like the reflective cup design make the light more balance. of course, refelctor 192 is also good, the price is cheap, it's a reasonable price that I can afford.

my grow tent is 4'x4'. both mars pro ii 320 and reflector 192 can cover the tent well. I'm going to buy another tent. I would like to try Mars tent also

The view from the tent

An impressive panel, for sure! The grow area I'm covering with this 320 is a 4x4x6.5 foot tent side, and the panel is currently running at 100% red, 10% blue spectrum.And, the plants must think they're on an Equatorial Vacation!!

Another view, with the Amman's Sour D

Amman's Sour Diesel, Day 44 in flower.

The density of the Amman's is off the charts, and it's top cola is going to be a sight to see, at harvest, in about 3 weeks.

I got a bit of overheating on the Acapulco Gold, before I had the time to figure out the remote. (Not a stoner thing, had some mom health things to attend to..)

So, from here on out, I will journal using this Stellar panel, right here

Feel free to ask questions, offer wisdom, or at least join me in a toke

Today's view from the320 Tent

An Angel bud, from the Acapulco Gold. Save for tying it in half, it just wants to hug this panel

The severely super ripped top of AG #1

The Amman's Sour Diesel. What a cola on this big girl

These plants are just starting an h2o cleanse, and should be ready in a couple weeks.

This week proved the value of remote programming with the spectrums- it's been getting into the 90s f, and being able to dial back the blue has been critical. The AG have been semi scorched already, due to a higher temp than was forecast, but they are trucking to harvest!
That ASD is going to be a heavy yielded. It's getting thick and heavy

Something is wrong. Maybe with your nutes?

Mars are inefficient panels, but I've personally seem them grow better buds than this. It almost appears as though they tried to re-veg at some point.

The tips of your leaves are burned, lower the dosage on your nutrients.

Did you grow from seed under that light? Did you start flower with that light? I'm a little confused.

That is so far from impressive I would cry if my grow looked like that I hope that light was really cheap

Hope it’s better than the mars hydro 1000 w I have. I put a plant under it to finish and it wouldn’t. It was fine for a veg light means I spent a couple of hundred on it

Right??? I'd be completely losing my shit.

They are some sad little plants. What and how are you feeding them? You have some serious issues with your plants.

I see nothing but trichome-less larf.
