Definitely look into mars hydro. I've got their tsw2000 already and just picked up their sp250 and am extremely happy with them

Hey buddy, I would suggest using 3 of the Mars Hydro SP250's, I run two in a 4*3 tent and I'm getting mega yields while using the Scrog method so I can truly benefit from the lights.

I would think with 3 of the SP250's you could easily yield 40+oz.

Sp250 its slender and narrow, and fits perfectly even with another square light

It's the one in front

Light is the single most important factor for quality. Cheaper could work, but you're just going to regret not getting the better one to start.

The issue right now is a lot of shipping is backlogged and being stopped because of the virus. I'm from canada so I'm not sure about out there. The 420 deals last week had to be cut short because everything was having major difficulties shipping to the warehouse

Don’t be afraid to go with a bigger light. It may come in handi down the road and saving you some money in the long run.

always been my experience as well. i don't build supplement lights. i just build a bigger total fixture.
there will always be someone begging to buy the old one if i don't use it. have a waiting list lol ...

In the long run you’ll be better off with more light.

What is the actual wattage of your light?

It says it is a 600w led the brand is lunar led, has been working spot on to be honest but I don’t think it’s actually output is 600w but my results are good so far

Mars sp250 is over double the wattage from what I'm researching. My first grow was 1/2lbs under 300w with 4 plants

Is the mars sp150 not good then? My grow tent is only 1.2x2 ? I’ve currently grown 3 plants so far under my 600w just wanted another booster

quoted wattage means nothing. go by the draw on the driver. actual output will not exceed that. mars jerks everyone around the same as the other junk builders.

get the specs on the drivers they use. be aware they don't always ship with the drivers quoted in the specs.
