@Itisi I'm on the verge of buying a new light, what Mars do you have? Is it the 900?
Very tempted to get it.
Also what size Wilma system are you running? Im looking at the 75x75cm to go in my 1mx1mx2m
It's the reflector 192, pulls 430W. Have a chat with the mars rep on here, she'll sort you out a deal.
I think the wilma is the xl. But 75 cm sounds right. I use the flood emitters (the blue ones), the seeds start in jiffy pellets in a heated propagator, I leave them in this on a windowsill for a couple of days,then the jiffy goes into the pebbles in the wilma, bit of root start for a week,then stick the nutes in, set and forget.
It's so simple. I have a big water butt next to the tent, I mix up about 100L in that and once a week drain the reservoir and refill it. I check the ph daily, but use canna nutes so the only time it drifts is when the roots hit the reservoir! I really just open the tent, make sure nothing has fallen over, have a beer and take some selfie with the girls. I see these guys struggling in soil, the supposed simple task of watering causing problems and I think fuck that! Give me the the chemicals and a time clock any day! Lol!
The wilma does look Fucking cheaply made. But I can personally attest to its strength, I weigh 14 1/2 stone and fell on mine. I broke a pot completely in half!
Mixed plants don't really work. I grew a blue amnesia with the skunk. It was seriously tasty but a little light, I think had she being amoung her own kind she would have done better (sounds like an Enoch Powell speak! )
Anyway. You won't ask me a question again will you?!
