New Grower DP AutoXtreme, AutoUltimate and one Automazar grow

[forestly]

some of them are superautos. You can see by the development and length they will be well over 90 days i recon. I am really pleased with the Mars unit. The cabinet looks so much bigger... i will measure them today and make an update on the measurements. @Cyklos

Hi forestry great grow journal I'm also growing ultimate and extreme with Mars ll 1600w led with canna nutes with an auto pot system and mine are a million miles away from your lol I started end of April with the extreme 3 wks later with the ultimate as I treated myself to a new tent lol started out with different led for the first 3 wks until I had the Mars ll delivered my tallest plant at best is 2 foot 60cm I think lol plenty of bud sites on them. A friend of mine had the same size tent as you with 4 extreams in there with a 600w hps and they were monsters 8oz dry per plant and that was his first grow hence me jumping on the auto band wagon but as I said I've got dwarf plants due to some cock up but never had an issue with photo plants. Looking forward to seeing your progress

Quick question have you turned your flower switch on yet ?

hei @welshboy

no switches here mate, my panel is just plug and play and no buttons to push

Hi forestly
Thats a kick ass et up you have got now.
Looking forward to more updates and it would be great to see a comparison grow let me know if you ever do it.

Hei @Grim Reefer

I am itching to order some more LED-s but i dont know which ones should be tested. Hans LED will be probably the last time i use, GN atm does not impress me. I check the PAR measurments on the each cab and Mars is most powerful of these 3. At least when talking 4 plants per 4x4 or 1,2x1,2m.

Girls have stopped stretching so i will measure them today - i promised it to somebody here Then we can see what is what.

Just out of curiosity bro, what is that that doesn't impress you about the new GN's?

 

[forestly]

The output of light (PAR) is pretty low. I have concluded that there should be 1 light per plant, 2 of them does not cover enough of space (4x4). GN rep told me its like 600W of HPS but unfortunately i disagree.

I see 3 cabinets evolve and GN one is the slowest/smallest...

Please do not consider this as an expert review, just what i am seeing when growing them in the same environment then at the moment Mars Hydro is the winner.

i will add some comparison pictures in a bit.

EDIT (pictures)

And an update on the supercropping, it seems the plant has healed itself and no biggy (5 days after the supercropping)

I see where you are coming from bro and honestly this convo is just from curiosity, no intentions to "teach" you anything, just offer my thoughts bare in mind I've only ever used GN for LED so I might be biased?! I think the HS1's strong point is the efficiency of the unit, but I also think you're right when you say 4 units in a 1.2m tent rather than 2 - I think that would surpass any 600W grow using only half the power. Don't forget as well the different diffuser options for the HS1, I think getting both of yours fitted with the 90x60 diffuser would give you better coverage and results. Like I said earlier would be great to see more comparison grows so keep up the good work bro
