Hey guys, I am not new to growing. I set up my own closet grow with a hood I make with cfl's seven or eight years ago, as well as a secong closet the same. I grew pretty nice bc kush, papaya, strawberry cough, hindu kush also berry bomb. I did it to prove my father wrong, hehas been growing thirty five years, nine or ten of which have been legally done. he told me fluorescent will not produce tight big or sticky buds... well a short topped kush proved him wrong first!!
To my new setup, I have on the way a 4x6 fusion hut and 2 mars hydro reflector 96. I know this isnt enough light for a 4x6. I am only going to use part of it. probably half or so. After I get them where I want I will spread apart and add some more light to flower probably. I am just wonderring what people think of the idea, should I add more led panels or should I just use a bunch of my old cfl gear to optimize the light?
I got some more papaya cause I loved the smell,taste and looks of it!! :) ten of those female and 10 hashplant, and get a pack of 10 of whatever they send me as a gift, they sid probably crop king something they said. I bought the beans from mjseedscanada. anyone else get any there? suppose to come in original breeders package so + there.
All in I am at around 900 bucks into it seeds and all,and just cant wait to set up again, man I miss my own sticky stinky... anyone think I am ok price wise or did I do ok?

sorry for such a long start, but ther must be someone that has used either a fusion hut, a 4x6 grow tent, or a mars ref 96? also would like to know about the hashplant and if it will be the one of old ,as well as ppl who purchased from mjseeds canada.

wow, 76 views and no reply!! well everything came in a week, lights are here and they look good. lso the tent is here and it is actually heavier than I expected. last but not least my seeds are here. I ordered 10 hashplant and ten papaya and was suppose to get ten reg random... I got 15 of each I ordered and 5 reg blueberry. we will see how they pop, they were in lastnight to start germ. and tent is set with lights. I will probably try ten or twelve in my tent this go around and see how much room I really need.

Well nobody is gonna reply anyway.. oh well I put seeds in water 24hrs then papertoweled them. next day sprouts sticking out.... Got 10 in dirt right now, and another one left. But I found a few old northern lights and kush seeds I had.. No hopes up as they are old, but would like to have them pop. Maybe after I get some leafy action will post a couple pics.

the LED's ur using come under the "cheapie china crap" aka "blurples" all talk bad about, lucky for you tho, mars are one of the better blurples out there, ur right u deffo gonna need more lights for that size tent and bare in mind LED footprint is alot less than HID but i guess must be more intense since average hights for led are more than HID equivalent.

Most say those blurple lights are ok during veg but really fall off during flowering so Ive noticed alot of people using the china LED's as supplementing light to a HID.
I myself have just put a 250w hps and 450w full spec led side by side in my room and seems to be doing nicely.

Oh also, $900 sounds about right if u brought everything online/from store. But with that money and a little reading you could of come across some of the DIY COB lovers threads round here. Wish I had more understanding of it before I purchased my first full spec LED. :(

I know a long read, my apologies. Thanks Bud Dizzle, I actually was just looking at cob stuff and am unsure and should read more. I found a kit I could buy for 50 bucks with 100w cob led full spec chip with controller and heatsink with fan combo, it also comes with a lens and reflector. just have to inquire what else I need. I was thinking build 4 units?
