Son of Hobbes tests Mars II 1600W 5W LED + Mars Grow Tent + Mephisto Genetics + Terrestrial Bean Com

On top of that, I have a cheap like $7 pair of polarized sunglasses coming for the grow tent. Hoping they will work out; that light is so incredibly blinding. It's nothing like a 1000W HPS; it's far brighter and far more damaging on the eyeballs. A couple minutes in there, even with just the Veg spectrum on and you're going to see a green tint in your vision for like 15+ minutes afterwards. It's pretty trippy but I have to imagine that's causing some damage lol.


:niceshot: photo..or it never happened...:cool: ...and the Best sunglasses to wear with your new LED's are.....

the Things we have to do for our Girls..huh..?
 
1600 watts of led will out produce a 1000 watt old school easy SOH will prove that. Just a thought bro you might want to invest in some voo doo juice or green planet terpinator build that root mass right up bro. I hope iam not over stepping my boundries but I found a huge difference in growth and over all health when I went with supps. like I say the initial price sort of stings but when used half strength and only certain supps. at certain times one liter lasts a year plus while others go a little quicker. Just trying to help bro

Fairly, I'll check out both of those brother! I apologize for the lack of update that I promise the other night (been swamped in a harvest, but excuses NO MORE!) Should get in a good update tonight and man I have some new toys that just showed up! Got the polarized sunglasses and I'm pretty sure my new cloner just came (haven't opened the box yet!) Also got my latest set of fabric pots; they ran out of some of the 3 gallon ones that I wanted so they sent me a few with the handles on them instead, so that was a really nice surprise!

I'll hope to 'er here in a few. By all means bro; I appreciate any and all advice and I'll try to be as open-minded as I can be. You're... going to see I have developed a couple bad habits... hahahaa... I'M HUMAN! :rofl: But hey, I'm trying to acknowledge those habits and work on changing them because I know it's only to my benefit!

Appreciate you following along and I'll be back soon with those pics!

4/10/15 Day 9 in Soil, been above soil for about 5 days. Been having a low humidity problem; I have this MASSIVE humidifier in there that I've been suspecting not working for awhile now and I think I'm right. I've got a few other smaller ones that may work in the mean time but it's been a bummer. The seedlings are coming along though, no weird twisting or gnarling or strange reactions to the light as of yet!

Here are the 4 fem Sour Bubblin' Crack:

Additions to the tent! We'll see if they pop, then they shall be named!

I really have been enjoying this light so far if for nothing other than the fact that it runs so cool compared to the 1000W HPS. I love the toggle switches on it; if I had to shut down the 1000W HPS, it was lights out and it had to COOL down. I have pictures somewhere of a 1000W HPS burn on my arm. It touched it for a fraction of a second, like the most minute amount of time fathomable and it was an instant imprint of stamped metal. I STILL have the burn scar haha! Chicks dig scars, right? Alright alright :hump: :hump: :hump:

The light cools down almost INSTANTLY when it's turned off. I'm never worried about burning myself on it.

By using these magnets I have now upgraded the 1600W LED to run on diesel; both your winter blends and summer blends. :Gary:

Here are my pair of Besgoods clip-on polarized sunglasses I bought on Amazon for $8.50. They work spectacularly well, provided I actually WEAR them. I've had them for a few days now. They work great. If you WEAR them. Kinda... have to emphasize the whole "wearing of the sunglasses to have any benefit." I'm trying to find a way to keep them more handy for when I go into the tent; they are an absolute must though. I cannot stress the green tint that the 1600W light will flood your vision with if you are working around it for even a minute unshielded. I have no idea what that's doing to your eyes, but it literally shades everything in your vision green for several minutes and that just can't possibly be good :rofl: So, here's trying to save some eyeballs! :Cheers:

I thought this was pretty neat. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one that is looking at picture of the appearing trout and thinking to themselves "that could have or should have been a naked lady." Right? Echo? Echo? Doctor? Doctor? Nanu nanu? We'll go with that I'm right. :cool:

Here is my new cloner, a 36 site Clone King. I'm awful at cloning. Terrible. Terr-ih-bull. El-terr-ee-blay. I'm hoping this will help increase my success rate. I'm told by many that it's a sound investment; I considered a DIY project but sometimes it's just nice to take something out of the box and know that it SHOULD work as advertised and that it has a warranty.

Here are the rest of the fabric pots I ordered. They were out of some of the 3 gallon pots (I think these guys were high, I counted the bags they sent and I'm pretty sure I got SEVERAL bags for free,) and they sent me these 3 gallon pots with handles with a note that said "we ran out of the other ones without handles, so you can have these." So I thought that was pretty sweet; although I counted the 3 gallon pots and I'm pretty sure they filled my order as-is haha! Not complaining!

Hello SoH, you know you should show us the pics of yourself with the new sun glasses on. :cool: Must be quite hot, haha! j/k :coffee2:
 
Make sure you wear those glasses SOH lmao. Diesel powered light what next flux capcitor powered light lol. Looking great
 
Fairlynew I've been looking all night for a Mr. Fusion power converter for my reflector series :crying:
 
Morning everybody! I've a question; is UVB necessary for this kind of light? I've read some of the threads on it and I know a few of my close grower friends on here have mentioned using them; I'm just curious if I should go grab some for the tent. What would be adequate for a 5 ft x 5 ft tent typically filled with many smaller plants (vs fewer larger plants?) Appreciate any suggestions!
 
Soh I thought about that too but after having some of this sweet trainwreck auto I don't think it needs more resin :smoke:

Wait till after your first harvest then decide if you need to add uvb
