Jinglepot Showcasing the Mars Hydro FC-4800

Nice work brother.
Is moving your lights a bit closer working out for you?
I got frisky yesterday and gained a few inches (sic) by removing the hangers they supplied and using zip ties instead. But I’m still topped out on my lights. Only thing I can do for the next eight weeks is to keep flopping her over. That Sheelavathi is HUGE.

I can’t imagine wanting to smell that :laughing:
But all new technologies begin in the porn industry so that’s where you’ll get your first chance!

Thanks for all this @Jinglepot (And @BigMike55 )! I’ve had the Mars Hydro website open for over a week now…think you’re helping me make up my mind finally!

I think you would be more than happy. I know I am.
They are not “budget” lights, but at harvest you can see where the money went. If you can wait for a great sale, that would be better, but yeah. Fantastic light kits, to say the least @MarsHydro kicks ass with their new stuff.

Well, I’m an outdoor guy but I bought a tent to dry in and seems silly not to be using it for plants! I mean it’s got racks of starts and a couple Sour Strawberry males in there right now, but no real ventilation system and just a crappy little LED for the SS’s. I’ve actually been wanting to take the tent down as it covers 1/3 of my porch and blocks the view from the house…but I keep finding uses for it! I’ll try to keep an eye open for that great sale! Thanks again!
(By the way, got a bunch of your Bloody Monsters going on!)

Oh, you’re gonna be happy after harvest. Great smoke ain’t the word for it. Hope yours comes out as good as mine did.

Which reminds me to ask… I notice the farthest along BM gal has pistils that seem to turn rust/brown very quickly…so much so that I spent hours today trying to see if I could find a hermie/male in the area! But while there are 25 plants in that area, none of the others are showing any signs of having been pollinated. Ever notice anything like that?

They also seem to be the most-prone to attack of leaf-miners! I’ve hit 'em with BT, sulfur and a ton of soap and they look a little ragged because of it, but it hasn’t stopped the leaf-miners! :rofl:

Think I just recently popped another 10 or 15 BM’s…not sure if they were from your seeds or ones I made??? I think some of them might be in that recent picture of the refilled covered area in 5 gal airpots (and in the 10 gal airpots down below!).

(Apologies @Jinglepot , stoner moment - thought I was on a DM! :clown_face:)

Never noticed that before. How deep into flower are you?
I have some plants going right now that started turning brown at about 5 weeks. Like you. I looked for signs of hermie but found nothing. Be interesting to see if any seeds develop.

I wish I could help with the leaf miners, ive never experienced them before. As for the pistles turning colour I had some turn colour really early on and then the plant kept growing more white pistles after, again, not sure :sweat_smile: they COULD have been pollenated by an outside source, or maybe its the strain.

Lowered the light a week back and plants are loving it. I’ll be monitoring the trichomes daily but as of now I believe I have given them their last feeding and moving on to a few days just water, but I will decide that when they are thirsty again. The plants in my HPS room will get at least another week of feedings

Couldn’t agree more @Jinglepot , looking fantastic! This makes me yearn for the day when all my ‘testing’ will be done and I can grow a whole bunch of the same thing at once! Sure would be easier!

The ‘pistil’ question was for BigMike55 as he was the breeder of those seeds and I was hoping he’d seen the same thing before with the Bloody Monsters. It’s only the one plant doing it.
