Mars-Hydro LED Grow Light Discussion

[wildjim]

Those new lights sure sound exciting to try out. My 700 and 900 Mars-Hydro Mars II lights are doing great, but remote control of colors to be able to simulate different sun colors during the day sounds like experimenting with plant growth and I am all for that. Morning and evening colors are different from mid-day. I'd love to try these lights on fast growing autos to see what differing colors might do to their growth. Colors affect 'emotions' in humans. Plants have been shown to have what seem to be emotional responces to danger and music. Why not their main system requirement? Light? I prefer days with the sun low in the sky.

I, for one ,look forward to seeing what I can do with one of those CREE lights. Just price will decide if I can experiment.

If the spectrum is adjustable, It would be great to see what works best in veg then what to "turn on" for flower to get the biggest, best results.

Mind you, I still want it web enabled.

Yeah, light is always on like shown in the other pics too. Thank you

your timer is faulty

 

[Dennise]

If I read all that right Evo he has checked all that and the timer isn't the culprit...

 

[Wahtoogee]

I think that one light fixture may have a very low internal resistance and that's why that one fixture is getting a tiny bit of LED light bleed...(compared to his other fixtures) he should still change the timer. That timer has to be allowing some voltage to slip by... Or else we should seek the Vatican as we have a Miracle on our hands! Just trying to make a little joke here, not trying to be a smart azz!

Hey guys need a couple more old models but not for sale on the mars site. Can anyone confirm the ones on amazon are for real? They are sold by mars/top but they only have a single fan ..... The 4 I have all have 3 fans......

 

[Evo-Rat-93]

if the timer is working properly no power would be getting to the light

If it is not the timer he has a power and neutral wire crossed somewhere

I got one of your email, checking your package status now. but this one, havenot yet, can you resend the email to me?

Yeah, light is always on like shown in the other pics too. Thank you

 

[Mars Hydro]

I hope we can sell them from next month, haha

Morning (evening afernoon? not sure which at this point ) Sara. Any idea on the time frame?

Yeah, what he just said^

 

[Mars Hydro]

You all LMAO, lol bravo idea

The next request is to make it WiFi enabled so we can access our grows from our smart phones.

Maybe even add a Webcam

It surely will,

OK NOW we are talking...would save my legs going up and down steps a dozen times a day LOL

 

[Mars Hydro]

Gotta think about it, seriously

I sometime feel like I spend to much time in the grow room admiring my plants. I would be able to admire them anytime from anywhere. That would be awesome. Some people put webcams in to watch their pets. Us...

Hmm... that what us women always do, lol Give her a little compensate

LOL my wife made the comment the other day that she was jealous because I spend my time with my "girls" than I do her LOL

haha, good for you supergroomer

My wife doesn't mind too much since she enjoys the fruits of my labor. She is the outdoor gardener and I am the indoor one.

 

[Mars Hydro]

You are right EARTHWALKER

Apparently everything is better with bluetooth

 

[Mars Hydro]

Glad you received the light already, hope you can grow happy

1 of my orders arrived, reflector 150w, building small (pre)grow room, in other closet now

Gonna use irrigations systems also. :icon_cool

 

[Mars Hydro]

High TheRoach, thanks for stopping by, any question or need, just post here

over 13000 replies!!!
Wow! That really says something about Mars-Hydro LEDs, I couldn't make my mind on this matter but this really makes the decision easier; so many fellow growers here at can´t be wrong.

 

[Robert Celt]

Good morning Sara

Is there plans to put switches for veg/bloom on other Mars II lights?

 

[Mars Hydro]

You guys are so high now, lol

+1 on the webcam! I'd love that!

lol, excited as you are, haha, better get some saving now WJ.
