Carty's New Mars Hydro TSW-2000
- Thread starter Carty
- Start date
Firing up the small tent.. Time for me to do my own preservation run of Gabagoo and Blue Vangoo..
Adding some Mephisto gear into the mix with 2 feminized 24kt x Man Bear Alien Pig to also get dusted.
All the seeds have sunk and stayed down within 8hrs.. impressive. The faster they sink the better the chance is of having a good germination. Now they go into a damp paper towel, into a baggie and then
an oven mit for complete darkness and to keep temps above 60F. why, seeds fall off plants in nature, some get buried and then the ground freezes, may even snow... as the ground thaws in the spring, the ground temps rise above 55F waking up nature. so cool.
Time to run to hydro store and get me a bag of Roots Organics soil... results don't lie.. look at this grow compared to last grow... see ya in a week..
And big thanks to Mars Hydro for sponsoring me with this light... I love this thing.

Germinating old seed stock can depend on how it's stored.. Mine stay in the freezer to mimic being in the frozen ground.. seeds are designed to awaken when the ground stays above 55F and get moist with rain.
2015 Gabagoo, not really that old.. seeds sank in 8hrs, stayed down and then ready for next step. damp paper towels and baggie.. into the oven mitt to stay dark and warm at room temp.
2 days later.
next step... potting them little babies.
One of the mistakes people make is not watering in properly.. you want to fill the pot halfway and then, water in lightly so water just barely drips out the bottom.. this settles the soil so when you do water after putting the seedling in, it doesn't sink and sometimes, gets lost and never shows up to play...
Finish filling soil, water in again very light, poke a 1" deep hole and drop germinated seedling in tail down and lightly cover with soil.. the moisture should be just right now. place your marker in the plant
and walla.. a trick I do, on the backside of the markers I put.. DOB.. DOS... DOSC
Date of Birth, Date of Sexing, Date of Supercropping. these things are nice to keep track of and this makes it very easy.
Mephisto included these cool plant markers with an order so thought I'd put them to use. Oink Oink
Sour Stomper Feminized to also get pollen from my Gabagoo F3
6 - Gabagoo F3. 2 single potted, 4 double potted.. a trick I do only during breeding usually...
4 - Blue Vangoo F2, all 4 double potted.
2 - 24kt x Man Bear Alien Pig. 1 failed to germinate, the other was dropped in one of the above pots?
2 - Replacing the 2 above, Sour Stomper also by Mephisto Genetics, one of my fav breeders of autos.

I'd like to stop for a second and tell you all how much I love my new light...
So much so I'm thinking about pulling it out of the closet for better access to it and put the old tent in there.
Don't think my exhaust fan and filter are working sufficiently.. this might help that. not Mars Hydro stuff...
But the light.. well, you've seen my plants and the massive improvement in them eh?
TSW-2000.. this light fills my 2ft x 2.5ft tent from side to side.. the dimmer switch makes it so I rarely have to raise or lower the light making my life so easy.
And, if a grower wanted to go big time, these babies will daisy chain making life easier.. nice huh?
Another very cool feature of this light.. it comes with extra long cords for it's ballasts on top of the light, just in case heat is a big issue for you, the ballasts can be removed and placed outside the tent without having to purchase longer cords.. this feature is one you don't think of until you need it and then your like, oh, how cool they included this...
Or you can just install them atop the light like I have.. heat isn't bad at all.
Now, I fell in love with LED lights with the daylight spectrum of bright white.. but when I turned this light on I noticed it had that but also a slight yellow of HPS showing up to play to. this has gotta have something to do with these ladies flowering so well, so fast and developing hard buds.. Perfect Spectrum IMHO..
And if my wife ever allows me to blow up the entire spare room, I'll daisy chain a few of these together and with 4 I could fill the room with buds... muwahahaha.
I just love Mars Hydro... my good friend Batman is looking at them right now also... really cannot pass up on their full setup tent deals..
Easy to assemble, install and it distributes light into a nice footprint.. with the dimmer switch in front top center of light it's easy to operate.

You really cannot go wrong.. give me a shout when your ready, I may be able to get you 10% off ok..
this light just kills it man..
I've moved these babies over to their own thread, I want to do an auto tutorial to show people all my methods that make me somewhat successful with growing this wonderful odd plant of the Auto Flower..
But, I do have to tell you this.. Babies overnight.. 8 of of 12 planted. Some I double potted to allow for male plants to be culled or used.
So now look for Autos done Carty's way.. in this thread I'll be starting my next run of non breeding autos.
The colors coming in on this Black Cream are incredible..
Sour Stomper running a close 2nd in color

Things are looking magical....
I finally found my old bamboo stakes and used one to pull these 2 plants apart... here you can see the shorter bushier phenotype next to the purpling girl of the Black Creams
The shorter hidden pheno can now be seen better.
Her taller sister
Sour Crack x Blackstrap is also putting out some unreal colors

The buds are beginning to stack a little bit... little over 2wks maybe.
Remember me putting the 2 plants into 1pot.. the shorter pheno got dwarfed.. but it smells much better then the one going purple.
The shorter pheno and her aroma is unreal and powerful..
The taller pheno is going purple

Let's see what 5 days looks like..
Double potted Black Cream Auto, this is the short pheno that smells just wonderful..
The taller pheno has the purple buds.. what a huge difference between the 2..

I removed the very lower branches in hopes of the plants energy concentrating it's energies on the upper larger buds as things swell up.
The removed nugs
Gonna have to see if this is a viable seed..

Immaculate conception?
Mars Hydro steps up there Sponsorship..
My long term goal is to replace my old and tired gear with new Mars Hydro gear that I'll be testing,
reporting on, That said.
Adding to their sponsorship Mars Hydro just sent me a very nice 6" inline fan/filter combo setup..
Let's dive in.
A.. Luckily Mars Hydro believes in double boxing because the box arrived really damaged..
Looks good to me so superficial damage not affecting the product..
Fan looks good to me..
this will be a nice step up from the POS 4" inline fan setup I've been using. Next week I'll be pulling the tent out of the closet and putting the smaller veg tent in there.. so be a few days before I get this installed.. but very nice indeed, speed control switch..
Thank you Yassin for offering me more products to test and represent MH.

Congratulations Carty!!
Thank you T_Dub.. this will only improve what I can do.. better air flow, healtheir plants.. really need an
oscillating fan to replace the one that broke. soon as these last 2 plants come down we can start prepping the next grow, move some tents around and install this new toy.. woohoooo..
Thanks again Mars Hydro...

Hey Carty,
Unpacked my tent today, totally screwed up, only ordered the tent and light, no inline fan kit, grow bags, timer and hygro/temp.
I contacted Mars in Australia to see if I could pay the extra and get the fan kit and they have no 6 inch fan kits.
Do I get the 4 inch fan kit or go any 6 inch kit?
I'm posting this here from a private PM in hopes my Mars Hydro sponsor can help Batman67 out. I've been assisting him in what tent to get, what light etc.. dedicated to MH and needs everything to get started..
thanks..

Ordered the 6 inch fan kit last night. They are back in stock in Australia. Exciting times.
Special thanks to Carty for everything he has done to help me out. Brothers from another Mother.
Hey bro... did you get everything you needed..? ever find the 6" fan kit. I love mine. arm is almost feeling better.. she made me take 2 full days off.. grrrrr. lol. Oh, figured out what I did. last week I tried using my
fist as a hammer.. I hit something 4xs so hard and 2 days later I couldn't move it, elbow swollen.. Note to self.. your old.
hey, let me know if I can help with Mars Hydro at all.. the Rep I deal with seems to be a great guy..
My breeding project is taking off now.. plants are growing like mad, found a male Gabagoo showed sex at day 18 vs 12, so kept him instead. all in all going well.
The male is beginning to lean so I did some leaf tucking on females to expose them pistols..
The male is just now beginning to lean with pollen weight
Blue Vangoo #2 just showed sex and by the looks of her stem she's gonna be a big girl when grown proper
The bushy girl leans towards the Sour60 daddy side of things.. he was a short squat icky sticky bas-turd.. lol
