Anyone have any good idea of a schedule I should follow? I see some schedules starting nutrients at week 1, I see other people recommending to let the plants use the nutrients found in the soil before starting. I'm trying to find out what's best for me without relying on guessing. Thanks...

cool thanks, so do you use nutrients with every watering or just that first water of the week or? also, EJ has the grow/catalyist mix where you create the tea and i'm wondering if I should use that right away, even in a low dose, to promote additional beneficial life in my soil.

I decided I'll be going with the Earth Juice line up. I've heard this is best used by creating a "tea" via an air pump and letting the nutrients sit for a bit. I understand that you add x amount of nutrients per gallon of water and that that water is supposed to sit with the pump for 24-48...

I'm not sure where you are getting those #s. On their site, they claim that the 1200 model is comparable to a 600w HID. They say the 1200 model consumes roughly 500w. I also can't help but feel the efficiency argument is, if nothing else, only one thing to consider. If my Mars 900 is...

Lol, I don't disagree. I did search the net for general opinions and successful grows before purchasing, but I didn't go as far in depth to learn about the types of LEDs, which is great to know. I'm not particularly worried about Mars having lower efficiency as long as the end power is strong...

From my current understanding, you aren't wrong. I don't know what epistar LEDs are exactly but I do know the Mars uses 5w LEDs, and supposedly 3w LEDs are ideal. When you say "efficient", I'm curious as to exactly what that's referring to. An HPS light produces more lumens, but a more...

Not sure where the hate for Mars is coming from. I've seen mostly positive reviews and successful grows. The most common complaint was some of the LEDs burning out and having to replace them after a year or so. Which...lame, but I paid $250 on Craigslist. If it gets a solid year of growing...

Hey guys, setting up a first grow here. I got this Mars II 900 on craigslist, and while I'm not afraid it will perform well, I'm considering supplementing it. Out of all the options, it seems like the most power for your buck in the LED department is these Mars 300s going for $70 per on Ebay...
