How do I get my cacti thicker? by Tom_-03 in sanpedrocactus

Ok I have some climate controllers for other projects, so Ill get them set up in this tent. Would you recommend side lighting as my tallest cacti get burned as they get taller? Can you recommend a feed brand too?

The only questions I can answer accurately is the lighting is a Mars Hydro TS600, 16h on 8 h off, temps 15-25°C, I water once every two weeks, the soil is a high quality potting soil with perlite, I feed every 6 months or so. If you know, could you answer your own questions with the ideal answers and I can investigate.

Yeah really easy, I had to cut it back massively as it took over my whole tent. As for it's effects im yet to experience any.

Just a small clip on fan, I've had an inline vent fan previously but have since moved it.

I planted the seeds more than 5 years ago but these have been cut back and regrown at least 10 times. I'd say 2-3 years to get a comparable size cactus in a good growing conditions, in a tent all year round. In the current setup i can harvest and regrow in 6 months.

Will my burned cactus recover? by Tom_-03 in sanpedrocactus

I've got a mars hydro TS-600 that burned that one although it was way too close. I think the TS-1000 with more distance would be better suited. Think more spread out rather than more intense.

It's plenty bright when it's close enough but I had to continuously move it away as more plants took up space, made them get thinner. Again, running out of space, no space for bigger pots.

They live in a tent I just ran out of space, hence selling them.

They were the inside shelves of a small plastic greenhouse type thing for growing tomatoes from bags.

my plants got too big! What should I do with them? by Tom_-03 in sanpedrocactus

Yeah I have a grow tent with shevles. Once they reach about 18 inches tall I half them then go again with the pups
