My Mars Hydro Cob light showed up today, thanks @MarshydroTina ! I plugged it in right away to see how bright it is. WOW! It is def way brighter than my 55 Watt Cobs! Basically almost 2x the power snd some added LEDs and a Bubble reflector. I have to go hang it up right now. This light has the potentisl to be TOO bright for a 28x 28 if the plants get too tall. However I am using this tent for my Sour Cracks only. So, its not a big deal unless I run taller strains. I wil snap a couple pics once hung. Trust me, its bright! I think it could work in my 32x32 tent just as well. Plus I believe it is adjustable, if needed. I will try not to adjust the power unless pplants get too tsll or light stressed. Peace, slow

Happy growing there. Mars COB driver is not dimmable, the only way to adjust its power is by moving lighting distance. :smokeout:
 
Pics dont show the actual brightness. Its perfect for this 28x28. The cups will come off in 12 hours and Sour Cracks should be on day 1 above ground. I see water in the Rez still. So I will wait another day and then add a little more. I prefer to run my Rez 1/2 full vs full for the first 7-10 days. This makes for less chances of overly moist soil. Especially in these new MINI SIPs that I made. I am not sure how well they will wick. Better to add more if needed vs adding too much and waiting for things to dry out. I have a feeling I did a good job on the Home made Mini SIPs. But until I run them at least 1x, it is hard to know just exactly how moist the soil will get via Wicking. Knowing how well Sour Cracks grow and how well the Soil works...I expect very good things when combined with this awsome new light! Thanks a million everyone. Peace, slowView attachment 1182954View attachment 1182955

Ok everyone. Quick update on Mars Hydro tent and Cob! So I love my tent and Cob, they are the perfect Match! I have 2 Soue Cracks and they are doing wonderful. They are ahead of the Iced Gushers started the same day. But the Sour Cracks are under the Mars Cob in different tent. Iced Gushers under 55watt Cobs in larger tent. I am really happy with my girls so far and want to thsnk everyone again foe voting for me! I will add some pics later. Today is day 4 on them snd they are doing excellent in my Home made SIPs. I will not be adding water to the Rez again for 5 more days. Unless the water gets wicked up sooner. I see no advantages of leaving the Rez completely full during the first few weeks of life. Actually I feel like the 1/2 Full Rez is superior during these 3 weeks. You can have OVERLY moist soil and not have OVERWATERING symptoms...just slower growth and the Root system will be thinner due to excessive moisture. During this 3 week time we want the roots to seek moisture. Keeping the rez topped off can cause the soil to retain more water than 1/2 full. Plus the root system is so small.during this time, that it is not using the water up at a rapid pace. After the 3 week mark you will.see the plants NEED for water jump and then topping off the rez is good to go. If your SIPs take more than 48 hours to use up the Rez water, the roots are still small. No need to top off daily until the plants actually need it. Peace, slow
