Hi Guys & Girls,

Sorry ive been absent for a week or so but i have had a bit of a shitter, the grow is progressing nicely and im at the start of week 9 and using only h2o, the plants look great but the yeild isnt gonna be as high as id hoped, the light has been too far away from 3 plants so they have suffered however the other 3 look great. this was caused by 1 strain far outstretching the other 2 strains. i wont make that mistake again lol........i will get some pics up in the next hour or so !!!

awsum pics mate :clap:... a nice scrog will definitely sort that stretch out if you go with it next time (I havnt had to move my light since the net went in)... make your own net aswell its easy... mine cost about $7 to make which is about 50p in your money lol

Hey guys,

I wanted to address that I do use Silica now, and have for this whole grow and it has added a lot of strength to the stems, and it has prevented any issues of calmag or anything really. I would encourage the use of silica just for a stronger plant, and it's only like 20 bucks for a liter.

On another note, I got the MH in and just had a quick question. The veg light switch has reds blues and whites in what looks like equal ratio right? And then flower looks like a 2:1 ratio of reds to blues, which I think I read was what should be... I'm not sure though. Can anyone back me up on the ratio?

Did you buy a real mars led light from their site? Or did you buy it used? Send me the link to where you bought it from, I might be interested in it. Obviously if you know what your doing with an MH light, you shouldn't of had a problem unless the light you bought is so much weaker than one needed? A 150 seems like it would be enough for 2 small plants few feet tall in a cabinet, not a closet. If you have a 400 watt MH light, that's about half of 1 of my 1 k watt hps / mh lights and 400 watts would be SUPER bright and way more than enough lumens for a cabinet small closet. Could it be that the lumens difference was so massive your already used to a mh light plants were stunted when you switched? I've had that happen with a mother plant and it wasn't a change of kind of light, it was a change from having it under a 1 k watt hps / mhs to a 250 watt mhs in a smaller 3 x 3 x 7 ft tall spot I made just for this mother. It didn't grow at all for ten days after the switch and all the OG's I asked about it said it was stunted. Just sharing a thought. But could someone have slapped a mars label on a used 3-5 yr old led where all the diodes are working at 50% strength from when it was new? Very possible.

http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=321370534898 just one off ebay claim to be a marshydro and is same sort of price think it's a fake...after telling the seller I wasn't happy he just kept giving advice on how to use it...I know I'm just probably used to my normal set up and didn't give it enough time but I'm used to having my smoke on time ;-) have a look I mite give it another go if I get enough from my 5 auto pounders....if not I'll be happy to sell it mate if your in the uk that is.

The the official www.ebay.co.uk/usr/marshydro-uk has 100% positive feedback nearly nearly 1800 people that seller you posted a link to only has 70 feedback so I'm sorry to say but it seems very sketchy to me :( the official guys are really helpful I got my link direct from their website and called to ask a few questions they told me after their repair warranty expires they would even be happy to send replacement LEDs or parts for free if I could fit them myself and they could even tailor make one at no extra charge to my specs if I wanted any adjustments like more reds than blues etc.. And that I could even send mine back and have it customised if I wasn't happy with its performance

Probably will be interested if someone is trading in their name, get in touch with them direct, their customer service is excellent.

I've just sent an email about my situation and offered to send the led to them to check out if they wanted..Just double checked and lgledsolutionslimiteduk are defently advertising the units as marshydro, I'll keep you informed as to what mars say.

Dude, if you have a fake light get in touch with enbay and open a dispute, put it down as "item not as described" and ebay refund you regardless of sellers response.

it isnt worth waiting if the light was fake

Yeah think that's my next step mate the I asked the guy at ledsolutionsuk for a refund 5 times and he just offered advice on how to use it...just hope I don't get grassed up if I open a dispute.

well that's my space and I started with 4 but as soon as I went to put the net in I realized it would be way overcrowded so i took that down to 2 (put the other 2 outside so I will put them straight into the tent when these ones are finished)... so I would say 2 will give you wall to wall buds 8)
