ive heard mixed things about mars but its been quite a while- didnt even know they were still in business, but theres only 2 LED brands that i personally would purchase, when it comes to flowering anyway, and those are Platinum LED and KIND LED, yes they are pricey but they are actually engineered and designed for this purpose and thats why they preform well, the main reason you hear people talk shit about LED is because theres so many knock off cheapo brands out there that may look like the real deal but have none of the engineering put into them, When it comes to veg almost any LED can veg a plant, even cheapos, but you need a good quality, properly engineered light to get good results in flower.

Damn it was only thing in my budget lol what kind are you running and nutes what you think is good
I run 3x Platinum P150 and a 150w galaxy hydro bloom booster but as i said before that thing gets too hot so ill probably swap it out for another P150 when i have a chance to. I run Dyna-gro nutes, i prefer the "foliage-pro" veg nute rather than the "grow" nute they offer, marijuana is after all a foliage plant, "bloom" for flower nute, i use their "pro-tekt" silicon nute with every feeding as well and their K-L-N root formula for my clones, I also use Great White in my res and Botanicare's Cal-Mag Plus product. And thats literally all i need, no extra suppliments or anything, Ph is usually right where i want it after mixing my nute batch although i do occasionally need some Ph-

Yea I'm a rookie compared to you but I have a decent set up. Nutes are ph perfect micro grow and bloom. Have calmag as well and botanicare hydroguard,rapid root and the sensi trio pack witch I have never used this is my second grow someone recommended the mars 2 so I decided to try it but those buds you had wow lol amazing
ehh we all start somewhere, liek i said i do alot of experimenting, so ive had time to figure out what works for me and what doesnt, pretty sure ill be stickig with drip to waste for the forseeable future and i like my coiling method for keeping plants low with insane amount of bud nodes exposed, ill pop back with some picks of those flowering after i switch it, still vegging the main tent for a couple more weeks and gonna take some more clones off the big ones before making the flip, had a bit of a shutdown over the summer so just now getting my perpetual-ism back on track lol

What do you mean coiling method bro
go back to page one, the first pics i posted for you, my plants stay under 6" cuz i basically wrap them around themselves over and over with tie downs to the out edge of the pots

That's wild looks difficult though like a complex form of lst.
i mean it looks crazy but really isnt hard, just let the plant grow upward until you're able to lean it over to one edge of the pot, then attach a tie down, i like silicon wrapped wire it works extremely well and is reuasble, once it grows a couple inches upward from where you tied it down you go ahead and tie it down again to the next spot, so on and so forth until it has wrapped aroudn the whole edge of the pot, then you have to get a little creative and start manipulating branches to allow for the most bud sites to be exposed, tie branches to other branches, etc, etc, it might seem overwhelming in theory but its actually really easy in practice, thast why i said i only ever supercrop on accident, its cuz ill be trying to tie something down and put too much pressure on it and snap it lol.

I'm going to have to do that next grow for sure . Looks interesting like fun lol
yea man i advise you try as much experiments as you can, its the only way to really find what works best for you, theres hundreds if not thousands of different ways of growing, everyone likes it a little different.
