MARS-HYDRO sp3000 if I had it to do over again I would of ordered the complete kit as it includes a fan , carbon filter & timer also grow bags I already have timer & exhaust but if I was just starting out that's all stuff I would have to get I've put 6 more seeds in to soak these are feminized offerings from esosseeds.com I put in 3 twinkle tarts & 3 superlemon crush I need at least 2 female plants to make this happen 20211004_190939.jpg

Couple Suggestions as I started out last fall, and made mistake of buying shitty stuff.

- For a good inline fan, look at AC Infinity T4 or T6. Unless your strain is skunk, or growing in bedroom, for 2 plants I didn't need a carbon filter, the smell was minimal and the filter made little difference. I did 2 runs in a 3x3, was surprised they smelled more in veg than in flower.

- ducting, make sure it's coated, otherwise light leaks and reflects in it.

- For small 8" clip on fans, I got a bunch at Walmart for $11 each

- 20" oscillating stand fans for $22 each.

- recommend smart plugs with power monitoring for timer over mechanical. You can program them and monitor from your phone, check power draw, etc.

Good luck and enjoy that light!

I have no need for a carbon filter either its 100% legal here & I've been running two 3x3 and a 4x4 tent here for 5 years without a carbon filter You're right about the quality of the AC infinity my growmie runs his setup right in town & even in mid flower you cant smell anything I'm shutting down one of my 3x3 tents to make room for this the fans , heater & timer are going in this tent for now

Thanks for the kind words my plan is to get the tent up & get my seedlings inside & turn the light down to 25 % instead of using the t-5 I've done the math@37,4 watts per sq,ft, I'm in the sweet zone you tube has videos on the par values that looks good I think this light & a 4x2 is a good match

Mars-hydro sp 3000 this seems to be a well engineered light that I believe can do it all with the dimmer & blue osram diodes I'm doing fragile seedlings something usually reserved for t-5 s I'm wanting to use this light to it's full capacity mars-hydro has really stepped up their game with the components that make up this light the tent proved easy to assemble , has nice zippers & not a light leak anywhere were gonna have a nice grow I gave the seedlings their first feeding today some bud porn from my other tent to hold us over until this gets up to speed these buds were made with a homemade cob light I'm looking to generate larger & more buds with the sp300020211014_104317.jpg20211014_104308.jpg20211014_104155.jpg20211014_104120.jpg20211014_104252.jpg
