New Grower DP AutoXtreme, AutoUltimate and one Automazar grow
- Thread starter forestly
- Start date
I will be measuring all the time, so i will keep you all updated.
The testgrow has failed in terms of trying to compare HPS vs LED and atm there are 3 growcabs with different LED-s. At least we can measure the success of flowering period.
I will be soon starting another grow anyway. It should be in the hottest time of the year, so let`s hope LED are up to par.

Looking good so far nice and healthy
It`s update time! 
DAY 39
General information:
39 days in, watering 0,5-1L a day. Plants have recovered nicely from flushing, now stretching. Air temperature is still a problem, since the Mars unit radiates a lot of heat (28-30C at canopy) and it is not the hottest part of the summer yet.
Personal notes:
Visually i like the GN cabinet the most, there is no problems whatsoever – temps are nice, plants have no chlorosis or necrosis signs. Mars Hydro cabinet starts to show some problems (cal-mg i presume) on the lower fan leaves. Hans LED shows no problems either, but my gut feeling tells me that there is not enough light intensity. Should be 480 true Watts, but it does not feel like it. Feeding everyone the same and test shows that these different lights cause different water and nutrient uptake.
Measurement:
GN cabinet: AX 76cm, AX 68cm, AU 80cm, AU 90cm;
Mars Hydro: AX 68cm, AX 97cm, AU 87cm, AU 71cm;
Hans LED: AX 98cm, AX 109cm, AU 93cm, AU 76cm;
Temperature: 28-30C
Rh: 45-55%
Trying to dial in the water intake, optimum turgor pressure is different with different lights, so i recon it will take some more grows with these genetics, to dial it in properly.

DAY 48
It has been an interesting test so far. For me it seems the Mars Hydro 1200W works the best at the moment. The plants are bigger and have produced a lot more buds than GN and Hans LED growroom.
Feeding them:
1. Sensi Bloom A+B
2. Big Bud
3. B52
4. Bud Candy
5. Nirvana
6. SensiZym
7. Rhino Skin
8. Bud Factor X
I have been alternating with Cal-Mg, since I see some Mg deficiencies creeping from Mars Hydro cab, not the others though. I think it`s about the light intensity.
Since I have the Ca-Mg of AN, and it has N in it (a lot!) then I have to balance out the N overdose. No Ca def signs yet.
Most of the ladies have been spread out (branches), to maximize the canopy surface and get most of the light. One plant from the Mars Hydro side overgrew the light (180+ cm is the plant). I supercropped it, to test for myself, is supercropping working on autos or not. I will update soon with the measurements of the plants (height).
Temperatures at 28 C and Rh 40-50%.
If you have any recommendations or questions, let me know – it would be much more fun to have this growlog as a dialogue than a monologue
PS! I have say that my shitty camera does not do justice to these beautiful plants, I need a better camera, so you can see the true vigor. Unfortunately these pictures do not tell the true story

Hey man, just caught wind of this thread - I love a good comparison grow! You'd expect the Mars 1200W to produce the most flowers from this point on but I'd really love to see you do this grow again, maybe 2 plants each tent from seed to see which lights produce the most bud from start to finish with the most efficiency - will give you and others a good idea of what lights are worth investing in. Or you could even try matching the wattage for a comparison (might be tough on the electricity bill) but imagine one tent has 1200w mars hydro and the other tent has 1200w equivalent of HS1's...now that would be interesting and my money would be on the GN tent 
Will be following the rest of your journey bro, keep it up
