I thank you.
The Mars Hydro TS3000 arrives today. The Tent arrives Saturday.
Well as long as I can veg and seed some small plants it will be okay.
I will be doing a side by side grow of Seedsman Blue Dream and Premium Seed Market's Blue Dream.
I want to recreate a fem X fem cross of my medical strain with Blue Dream.
I didn't have much room back 10 years ago and I only got two seeds from that. I liked what little bud grew.
So this is what Premium Seed Market's Blue Dream Picture is

This is what Seedsman's Blue Dream looks like.

From these Feminized two I will make a cross with a Feminize medical strain of mine. From those seeds I will hit those next generation with pollen from the F1 males I have in another tent already to make regulars.
With my not yet named medical strain I like to Code and listen to music.
With that medical X Blue Dream I enjoyed watching movies. It had an emotional aspect. The kind of "cuddle with your lover on the couch and watch movies" kind of thing.
So Hopefully by next winter when I can run the big lights in the big room I can run that gear along with the medical beans.
It sucks to buy weed at the dispensary $$$$ but first things first.
These F1 and S1 seeds I'm working are 10 to 12 years old so it was most important to rescue those genetics up front. There is no way I could recreate that wonderful medical strain I have.
Anyway. I bought the Mars Hydro TS3000. I see that it, like all LEDs, is over priced.
It is a little on the cheep side construction wise I read from reviews but seems to do well.
I think I will need to do a grow journal to do a grow here so it should all come together with the side by side Blue Dream grow. That will be a review there.
The Mars Hydro light and the nifty Zenny 2 X 4 tent which I own one of already and it's okay. Wide but not in the way deep.
My plan and setup is to use tents for veg and clones mostly then when winter comes around grow my 5 plants under Illinois Medical Laws in the big room under four 1k HPS and some COB leds with reflectors for blended spectrum.
I am used to HPS. These medical genetics have always grown under HPS. Just call me Old School. It is something I am comfortable with.
That is it.
So a big
THANK YOU to everyone who took the time to be helpful.
It is true I couldn't grow in the tiny trailer I was in for 20 years after climate change became a problem. First it was cold enough in October to run a 1k HPS in a 4' x 4' enclosed small space. Then it turned into November, then December, then January. By March it already was getting too warm so I just had to stop for safety reasons.
I think the Mars Hydro will do for my first Modern LED and for this Blue Dream side by side grow.
