What else have you grown (other than weed) with your Marshydro light(s)

[MissUniverse]

So the title says what I'm wondering from both the members of the forums and @MarshydroTina as well. Have you ever grown tobacco with your grow lights/alongside your grow or with the same grow lights used for a grow? What about cacti? What about salvia divinorum? Are there any other ethnobotanicals you have grown? How about plants in general? What sort of flowers? How about mushrooms? Do you have some sort of set up for growing mushrooms or like a light for that? How about the others I'm just wondering if you have any of that. I have a columnar trichocereus Bridgesii cacti and a couple of baby peyote about 2mm diameter to increase my archival stock of rare sub species of plantsplants/etc for me to breed for my own seed stock archive.

I need a light for my new cacti seeds
i scored [trichocereus Bridgesii X 'Kimura's Giant'], its reverse [ 'Kimura's Giant' x trichocereus Bridgesii], some classic peruvian torch and others.

I am also starting some different tobacco both nicotiana rustica (Aztec tobacco, or wild tobacco. Stronget tobacco, 10x ateonged than normal tobacco). Soon I'll be starting some perique tobacco so I want a great controlled indoor environment so when the leaves are done I can ferment the leaves to their sweet black look and smell in the wooden pressing barrels.

I'm also soon starting Havana seeds for some natural wraps. All my seeds were from an old family seed store so I know they are good so I want the lights to be the absolute best not just a "who knows what brand" light.

Since the average plant cant grow or live through my winters, I can fast track the plants to live in a container. When it gets cold and they aren't done growing i bring them inside to finish or, in the case of a cacti being the plant on question, move it inside for the winter without it stopping growth

So I just wondered if any of you ever grew stiff like cacti, tobacco, etc, or knew or someone who did.

And if marahydro is able to,, can you possibly grow a nicotiana rustica in your set up with a new grow light for me and document it so I can see the whole grow start to finish? And possibly start a cacti and grow it for years and show updates. I don't have any more Mars hydro lights, all are in use. I want to dwc a salvia divinorum in a few months too. (@MarshydroTina , I you always message me the details if you would want to do that for me)
Thanks!

Hey @MissUniverse , a good thread.

From I known, growers also use our lights to grow lettuce, orchids, tomatoes, peppers, and figs.... I haven't met the mushrooms, cacti so far:smoking:

That's really cool to see that pic, nice fruit body!
I found that cacti love a very intense light and I'm going to be starting about 200 cacti seeds so I need a good light to cover a 2x4 area to start then a 4x4 area later. I was thinking of upgrading my sp-250 from my tent to a newer light and putting the cacti under the sp-250. I was going to use my old led series (white bulky ones) but on both one of my 300 and 600 units 2 strips of led lights are dead or I'd just use them. I've resolved the board and checked it but it's an actual diode and I'm just not good enough with basic electronics to fix it so I'm in search.
I also know that a lot of leafy greens love my old mars hydro (the bulky white colored ones that put out the old purple light) but cant stand the stupid viparspectra I bought which only works for cacti at all it seems. I want to get these cacti to at least 1-2 inches in about 6 months and 2-3 inches in a year before transplant and then the beginning of their journey into life.

Do you have a specific light that is better suited for cacti than others? How about for growing mushrooms. I know there's gotta be something better than a bench light I'm using now.

The thing that has to be doable with any light is the ability to dim the light if needed.

Next time I have a nice salvia divinorum plant ready to go, I will show you a salvia divinorum plant grown under mars hydro lighting and you can then use it whenever, where ever you'd like.

I'm really into ethnobotanicals and I'm still looking for another kratom cutting so if I find one of those I need to also find a light that can grow a decent tree well for me to keep as a house plant and one to bonsai.
