MarsHydro Light Shows 2024 TS1000 pound in a year test

[FarmerJake]

One Year…..
One Tent…..
One Light….
One Pound..
Welcome to a yearlong grow showcasing the Mars Hydro TS 1000 I recently won in their Black Friday Giveaway. I’ll be using this light to upgrade from a 100w panel in my 2x2 Tent with a 2’x2’x2’ organic soil raised bed beneath it. I have averaged ~112g’s per single plant grow under the 100w panel in this setup so I am looking to see an increase in yield and am hoping to execute 4 grows this year in the tent and pull 1 pound in that time. Each grow will use a slightly modified MOG threadmark system so at the end of the year you can throw it in reader mode and easily scope the goods.

Big thanks to @Marshydro for the hardware
@Mossy thanks for helping with the prefix

I got a few days headstart before the New Year on the first batch of seedlings. The 4 seedlings broke ground 12/27/23 and are a homebred F1 cross of Fastbuds Blackberry x Gnomes’ Coal Miners Daughter. These are Regs so we will be culling down to one plant upon sexing.

Should be able to meet your goal. Loved my TS1000! Gifted it to a friend to start him on his grow journey... Running a Ts600 in my seedling closet. The 600 was my upgrade from a Chinese blurple 5cob unit... Major upgrade. I was growing 2 plants under the 1000.

Happy New Year
Day 6 for the in bed ladies, day 5 for the backup solo Mephisto freebie in case we strike out on a solid female. Light is running 20/4 @75% 36” overhead. No ventilation running to keep humidity up

You can do it! I think you could pull ~2g/watt per cycle in there if you are growing autos and can keep the environment good with the DLI up.

Reg autos? ...I saw the 4 seedlings and started thinking SOG/Scwazz

Cleared the cover crop out of an abundance of caution as in my other tent it may have offered safe harbor to thrips. Of course the 4 plants in the soil got ripped out too so I just went with it and planted the solo cup Mephisto freebie(good thing I had a backup). Yesterday was day 10 and she was looking on point

Looking nice and strong.

Day 16 and she has sexed. The light is set 36” above the canopy and running 75% intensity. Using the Photone app and a piece of paper I get around 285 ppfd and a DLI of around 25. Been running it higher than I want as I need a certain amount of heat from the light and to do that I need to run it at a higher intensity than I actually need. To combat this I raise the light higher. Been running 24/0 will be setting it onto a 20/4 schedule this weekend now that she’s sexed

Saucers of water to evaporate and raise RH
