You will love the Reflector 96 Freakzilla,I'm growing with one at the moment..Great little light!

Cool thanks for the heads up. I've been worried that I might need another light to supplement.

The Mars grow bar's are popular for supplemental's, My space is small and I scrog so I find I don't need it,I get a decent enough return for the 207 watts it pull's from the wall

Yay it’s done I’m heading over to check it out

Many customers asked how to replace HPS with led and usually we recommend light as growing size and draw power, so our new website have different catagory as different coverage and watt.

 

[Mars Hydro]

Don't understand what u mean

I did not express it clearly, I am sorry,I want to ask how this tent to avoid light leaking?

Below is the first post from my journal with all the info on my setup so far. I'll post a link to it as well


So I'm starting a grow soon. I haven't tried growing since the 90's when it wasn't legal and it was in a closet with the poorest of tools. I've gone ahead ordered a tent, light, and a filter. Below I will list all of the equipment. I'm happy to take any input from the hive mind, as long as you don't get offended if I don't take it all. I went ahead and ordered some seeds last night so I've got some time before they show up. I found a great shop with some really friendly staff that had giving me some great advice already. My light shows up Tuesday to finish off the basics. I've decided to grow with soil from my medium, as this is my first grow I hope it will be more forgiving.

I know some of you might question my first three items and I totally get it. I made those choices based on some online reviews and the amount I can afford for my first grow setup. They all seemed to get very good reviews nobody outright hated them. I'll give some reviews as I go for how they work out but so far I have to say I'm pretty happy with the tent for the price.

I do wish that I could have gotten all my gear at "My local small business." And when I spent a good hour there talking with one of the salespeople he told me "in the future to give us a try we`d love to try and be competitive and match online prices" so in the future that's what I'll do.

So I'm sure I will have questions and look forward to getting some answers.

Thanks in advance

The reflector 96(480W)can cover a2'x3', your tent is about 3'x3'. If you want supplement, you can consider grow bar. We have 60cm and 120cm grow bar.

Your tent looks great, it uses the same material as our present Mars tent.
We are upgrading tent material to thicker material.

Just showing my recent 2017 grow under the 196Reflector. Made my own ghetto flood/drain table, with bottled water to take up flood volume to save water. Strains are Auto Sourdiesel and LiwRyder.

I currently have a NorthernLights photo going through her stretch. Second trellis going in tonight.

A week later
