b)marshydro tsl 1000

Flower = hps 600 w
are any of these three going to compare to trusty old hps? Or could i build better for myself with £150 ish worth of components? Any advice be appreciated.✌

You're not going to replace a 600 watt HPS with LED for $150, hell you can barely even buy a 600w HPS for $150 .

Probably closer to $300.
A Budget LED series 3 250w might come close.
But you'll need around 250+ watts of LED to replace a 600 watt HPS

As mentioned above by Nunyabiz, it is going to be hard for 150.

Hi Dosmokethereefer, firstly thank you for considering Mars Hydro.
From what I know the SF 1000 is around 150w or less? And TS 1000 is around 150w, the SP 150 is aorund 140w, thought they are all lighting group design, have high PPE, but they cannot replace a 600w HPS at all. At most 300w; So in order you won't lose your yield, I suggest, you try the TS 2000. If you are in a square space, then TSW 2000 (works for 3x3 flowering space), if rectangle, then TSL 2000 (works for 2x4 flowering space). it is 300w in total, and can replace around 600w HPS. The price is only around 249USD, and should just be a little over your budget 150GBP. But it will be the most cost efficient one to replace your current set up. Hope this helps!
