Hi @Jaknjill, the more specifics you give us, the better we can help.

Mars Hydro lights are good, but what model do you have?

Just my opinion, but anytime I ever used hydrogen peroxide it was not good I even had the food grade type. I follow the instructions to the T never had good results with hydrogen peroxide right now what I do is I’ll soak my beans for about 24 hours and then I germinate them in a wet paper towel and then I plant them. I am not a fan of hydrogen peroxide anywhere near my plants.

Yo Rasta I can almost guarantee it’s the lights. Probably not strong enough.

Sorry both pics are Bruce


This one is wedding cake

Okay, so one of the lights you have the TX1000, seems to be 1200 watts, which is powerful.
The Mars Hydro is 150watts and the Unit farm is 100 watts, those are good for seedlings and early veg, but not really powerful enough for late veg/flower.

Also, keep in mind that each one of those lights is only gonna be good enough for one plant, so yeah if it’s older and the LEDs have run their course because they do get dimmer after use I would say go to metal halide and HPS If you want the best results And they’re significantly cheaper than LEDs tried and true I myself run ceramic metal halide‘s, and they’re strong enough the virgin flour my plants, and each one of my balls is only 315 W

With my dual and ceramic metal halide, I literally converge and flowers as many plants as I can fit into a 4 x 4

Oh this is a very expensive unit. Oh, it retails for around 900 bucks but you can get cheaper models. I’m not sure how great they work but I’m very happy with what I have. I can give you a link for some cheap HPS and metal halide that are very good quality.
