It is 3'x3' and there are 4 plants in 3 gallon smart pots, 3 blue dream and 1 green love potion in the back left corner, and the screen is 19 inches high. And they are under a Mars II 900 hanging about 20 inches over the canopy

From what I read the mars ll 1200, a 500 watt unit runs damn near as hot as a 600 hps. 1883 btu's for the mars and 2046 btu's for the hps, so now I'm wondering what to go with...a gavita or mars ?

I have been wondering the same but any info on the new lights has slowed the last post by Flyboy he wanted to sell his Cree and lately everyone here just wants to add HPS. I have been able to get good crops from my Dumb Lights and all my HPS found a new home and they are not missed. Only regular post is Brian and his plants look good just not good enough to make me spend $3K on the lights. It has been long enough that someone should be well into flower to give a decent report but so far nothing. All I can add is I am looking at around a 3-4 lb harvest from a mix of all Mars old lights and I am happy with the lights performance so far.

I'll have some results in 2 months. Just started some autos

I read somewhere here about mars being discreet.
Well when I got my tent it didn't say anything on the package about mars and when I got my light it was also blank,
The only thing on my mars light box was FRAGILE!
And these items were both delivered in Dec right before Christmas
Thanx Sara! will be buying more lights before spring.

No my Mars ll 1200 does not get hot at all no where near a 600 hps. I have mine running 1 inch away from a 400 watt hps and my Temps stay at 75-77. The temp without the Mars 1200 is 75-78 so really no change in my use and I'm in a 3.2x3.2x7 tent. I believe it's 3.2x3.2 it is not over 3.5x3.5

Congrats, aphrodisia! Glad to know the light arrives safe and sound.

Hey everybody ! My Christmas light giveaway arrived today and best of all NO hassle from customs. This light is BRIGHT ! Now I just have to figure out a way to hang this alongside my mars II 700w in my 3 x 3 tent.

Thanks mars hydro.

 

[Mars Hydro]

that's great.

Thanks Sara. All is good.

Hi doobie, thanks for the constructive advice.

I would dispute the payment with your credit card company, you wont be billed until its resolved. I would immediately go to Walmart and get a 4 pack of 2700k 23watt cfls , two clamp lights, and two splitters. these will keep your plants alive in veg, and provide sidelight later. Then I would reorder a LED light. If you gave the proper shipping address, and it wasnt shipped to that address, you have no control nor responsibility in that matter. They screwed up, let them fix it.

Hello Uncle, long time no see. Mars Pro is upgraded Sun series. Mars Pro has vents in the front board and runs cooler. Plus, the remote controller can create sunset and sunrise effect on plants. Uncle,since you are satisfied with Sun series, you will love Mars Pro series, too.

Hey there fellow Mars-Hydro users.


I've been using a combination of Sun Series and Reflectors with satisfactory results but have been considering trying out either the new Cree or Epistar Mars-Pro Series.
Since I'm pleased with the results that I'm getting at the moment I'm undecided whether to fork out cash on lights that I don't really need. Has anyone here upgraded from a Sun Series or 5watt Reflector setup to the new Mars-Pro? If yes, are they WAY better, a bit better...? Would an upgrade to the new lights improve quality ie trichome development with truly noticeable results?

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

 

[Mars Hydro]

Yes, Blazing, you are right. It will work. If you require for delivery only when at home, you can contact us. We will leave a comment.

I might be wrong but I think the last time I looked at one of my deliveries, ya can tell them to make sure to only deliver it when your home or sig.
I cant remember if that was ups or usps or fedex
But whne ya look at tracking info just find that comment

Hi Gnarl, if it pays with paypal, we will ship to the paypal address. Then the status has showed delivered... In the situation of address changing, it happens before. In most cases, they can always find it in the neighborhood...

To take this a step farther if you paid with paypal file a dispute that will speed up the process.

If it was shipped "signature required" any one at that address over 18 could sign. The shipper would be required to produce that signature.

About all this bullshit about friendly neighbors ...yada yada. Does Mars Hydro understand the word "discreet"? Growing is illegal in most states and no one wants their "friendly neighbors" to know anything about you receiving grow lights.

Just solve the problem ...... simple as that.

 

[Mars Hydro]

thanks for the explanation, Versai. It helps a lot. I think this is what happens. Our system is different now. Customer can log in their account to check the status of your order, manage addresses, update your email, or customize many other options. The shipping address and order summary has been included in the order confirmation. If the tracking info has not been upgraded, you can contact our service staff.

From what I've read, it could still be on the customer.

Sounds like they paid with their CC, but through paypal? Paypal shows the shipping and billing addresses right there when you're selecting payment method. I've almost made that mistake before where it popped up and I only gave it a quick glance while clicking through it, not realizing that my primary shipping address was out of date. I noticed it in an email confirmation and quickly canceled the order and redid it. If they moved 2 months ago, that's probably what happened. Sometimes sites will ask for your shipping information during the order, but then if you choose to pay through paypal, the address settings there can override your entered address.

There's really no other explanation for an old address being used. Mars Hydro doesn't know what's current, that's on you to keep track.

But Mars could provide better email order confirmations with shipping address and payment method and stuff so it's easier to catch those mistakes yourself. All they gave me when I ordered 6 months ago was a 4 digit number and note that they would email me again with tracking, which they never actually did.

Hi randy, thanks for the input. The new series has been released just for two months. It will take some time to see the result.

I have been wondering the same but any info on the new lights has slowed the last post by Flyboy he wanted to sell his Cree and lately everyone here just wants to add HPS. I have been able to get good crops from my Dumb Lights and all my HPS found a new home and they are not missed.

All I can add is I am looking at around a 3-4 lb harvest from a mix of all Mars old lights and I am happy with the lights performance so far.

 

[Mars Hydro]

Sorry about this. We have asked the warehouse to investigate this. MusicB, you can go to your previous address and check whether they have kept it for you.

Thank you Neil for the advice on this issue. Although I have spoke with the company In which they said that they delivered the light. All I have been told was "We have done our job and delivered the light, Follow this up with Mars hydro". It's a huge run around.

 

[Mars Hydro]

yes, we will deliver to the address on paypal.

Paypal has its advantages and its dis-advantages, MarsHydro states on their site that when using paypal they can only deliver to the registered paypal account shipping address. If you never changed it or if you tried to change it you may find it is still your old adress. I went the run around route with paypal when trying to change my e-mail address. I finally just abandoned the old account and started a new one because it seems they only hire complete idiots to maintain our accounts at paypal.

 

[Mars Hydro]

Hi Thunder, we have order confirmation for the shipping address and items.

With all due respect, if they delivered it to the address on the package they DID do their job correctly.

It's not their fault the address was wrong, all they're expected to do is deliver things to the address on the package, not check to see if the address is correct.

Not meaning to argue, but you really can't hold them responsible. Whoever allowed the wrong address to be used is at fault. Did you get an order or shipping confirmation with the right address on it?

 

[Mars Hydro]

I love the weekly update pic, so I can see that they are better and better. Very good job!

Hi PTSDgrower, the power is close in light itself, but LED can save you a lot from ballast, A/C and ventilation.

From what I read the mars ll 1200, a 500 watt unit runs damn near as hot as a 600 hps. 1883 btu's for the mars and 2046 btu's for the hps, so now I'm wondering what to go with...a gavita or mars ?
