Hey Autoflower420

You would be very suprised on how little it costs my whole set up in my big tent and little veg tend x2 900w x2 300w Mars led plus all my intake extraction fans is less wattage than a space heater so it costs more to run a space heater than a Mars set up even my ac unit is like x2 the wattage more than both my set ups lol really saves on the elec compared to hps/mh light set ups

Sara...Cannabis doesnt need green but it sure does use it. There is always some green in the lights spectrum but some have not enough.

I have no idea how much green spectrum is in the mars lights. It could be great. It could be very little. None the less cannabis does use green. It may not need it to live or grow but it does use it for functions.

Plants cant see green at all hence why u use a green light during lights out

Ok its cause of the space you have is why you need so many lights.

Just curious for what i want 1 x 320 Mard light in a 5x5x8 tents would it be enough for 4-6 plants or should i also pickup a 300w Mars Led as well.

Also for just vegging at first stage would a 300w Led be needed or will the 1 x 320 be ok?

Those numbers simply dont add up. I think your stretching things a bit. Either that or you have the worlds biggest space heater and ac. Your 900 watt LEDs use a little over 400 watts each and your 300 watt LEDs used roughly a hundred and 80 watts each. Thats about 1200 watts bro...10 amps at 120 volts. So you say your air conditioner pulls 20 amps? Oh and your space heater too? Not quite

They pull less than 400 w Ea actually I'm not gonna just talk trash am I and what's a space heater 1200w my ac unit runs 2000+w alone so I'm far from stretching
I have a propper Ac unit not one them cheap flimsy ones it's not a water one its propper

[Velk]

And if a space heater is 1200w then how do they not add up your numbers are ones that don't add I know what all my gear runs at mate not on a rude one but so quite quite so ...

So you have the old models with the least amount of spectrum you. For one the lights you have are 2 years old Can't blame your misfortune on Mars more your own growing skill if you have had bad experience as you can see from about 50 of our journals we have NO PROBLEMS , and green led people use when there plants sleep ! Lol so more so dumping on your self pal all you had to do is message Sara who btw is top notch ! And your issue would have. Been solved that's twice now you fire shots with and here's an evidenced based opinion my Mars have uv and ir diodes also green lol would you like a photo to clear up your misconception ?? And I showed you evidence on what they do but here it is again as you must have missed it taking a dump on your self

. I'm sorry but no matter what you say Sara doesn't deserve this does she ? All she does every day is help rude people like your self that are frustrated and lash out like kids Sara doesn't have to do this but she does day in and day out so you can't base your judgments on 2 year old lights when people
On here have older ones and have no issues at all , and with in them two years they have filled in the spectrum firstly I think you owe Sara an apology as she doesn't own Mars and shouldn't have to deal with when people go like you as what would you do if somebody talked to your mum that way or your sister ? Nuff said you've had your rant if nothing nice to say the say nothing at all and please leave our lovely Mars LEDs thread ! Also if you wasn't happy with the spectrum 2 years ago I seriously doubt you would be buying again so that's your issue

Why don't you put more lol's in your comment, moron. Your post is unreadable. And, your pictures or your micro-grows don't impress me at all.

Sorry but you said your heater or ac usus twice, i repeat twice what your lights do. Simply false. Your ac runs at 2000w? 16 amps? Must be a 30,000+ btu and have its own 20+ amp breaker.
Your 2 900's and 2 300's use more power than your ac or heat. Simple ohms law makes your claim that false.

And 2 of the 900's and 2 300's will use more than 1000w. It would be about 1125w give or take 25. And thats not counting your blower.

My 13,000 btu air runs only 700w 5.8 amps when the compressor is on.

I got a mars series 2 180 actual wattage series 2 400w light in a 60x60cm (2x2) and a 1000w space heater and that thing drops my humidity right down to fuck. Will be cool for flowering rule of thumb was 50 draw watts/sqft no??

Still less than 1200 bro and I sent you my power output reader it clearly says 900 w it just over sorry for being snappy it's the meds they got me on I meant no offence I know what my set up runs at I made sure of that at the beginning for cost purposes if you want I can show you my ax unit on plugged in and you will see I'm not stretching nor exajarating
That's counting everything as they are all on the power output reader
