Hello all my friends, now you can all preorder our sun series 200x3w on our website now. As we are going to have our new year holiday, the shipment will be made in 20 days. Welcome ordering from us.

amazing !!! I have received, Mars 700w at 48h, to Spain
Very efficient.

 

[speedracer1]

Sorry, can you tell me your order number? Because I am not sure who you are from your name here.

I already sent this info to you by email a few days ago. Do you want me to post the order number here too?

Please take care of it before your holiday. It has already been 9 days since I cancelled the order, no more delays!

Hello Sara,
Thank you for your quick reply. Can you tell me if the Mars II 700 are in stock in the USA and if your holiday is going to effect the order process. I am Thinking of going to 3x3x4 with one Mars II 700. My one concern is only 4 Feet head room. Do you think the 5 watt diodes will be ok.
Thanks again.

The price will go down when we get our warehouse stock full again.

I was hoping you would say that. Not sure why you don't send twice as many since your selling them like hot rice cakes. lol. I got a couple more before your two week bender.
question for you, I don't see your yo yo's any more on your page, am I missing them somehow?

 

[MarkC]

My guess is it's related to the New Year holiday there. She's been warning it was coming and that the factory was already shut down.

I've been pretty happy with Sara and Top LED. I think they have their "act" together.

i know, I have 9 of them. I was questioning the amount they send to the warehouse. They should double it cause they sell so quickly.

I have a 192x3 and I had similar problems, what you need to do is raise the light to 36 inches and turn on both switches, bloom and grow, you will see growth very soon. After that you can adjust it to a closer distance to control growth upward.

I have the 144 x3 reflector in a 2 x 4 grow tent. I tried it about 10 inches from canopy. Then tried it the recommended 20 inches from the canopy. It has been 3 weeks and I am very disappointed. Snail growth if any. Absolutely will not produce any trichromes at all. What can I be doing wrong?

Was there a problem that made you move the lights?
Where they growing fine before? If so, seems like the solution is obvious. I think they are too far away now, but I seem keep my lights closer than what the folks here are saying.

If the plants were not growing before you moved the light, then it's unrelated. (I still think you should lower it hehe)

Always know WHY you are doing something to your plants. Just because someone on a forum says something worked for them doesn't mean it will work for you. Know why they did it and why what they did had an affect.

Sorry I see this a lot. New growers see a technique in use and decide to try it even though there is nothing wrong with their grow. I'm not saying this is the case with you, but there ARE a lot of new growers on this thread, so I want to get this out there.

I'm not Sara (she is much better looking ahha), but I think that will be too strong. How do you plant to grow the plants? If we allow 12" for the pot, 24" for the plant, that leaves 12" for the light. That COULD be OK, but you're right at the limit.

The reflector series might be a better choice for a limited vertical space, but even those are pretty strong. My veg area is a limited vertical space. I bought some of the reflectors for mothers in that space and the lights were too strong, and/or my mothers were too tall, depending on your perspective. If you keep your plants short, think sea of green or scrog, you could be OK.

I was thinking the same thing, but decided to wait for someone with a little more experience to chime in first. I have a 4' height in my Veg closet with a Mars 400. I am not sure I would be able to keep the light high enough in flower. With enough training, I am sure I could keep the plants short, but I am trying to veg my plants a little longer get them bigger then they stretch a bit.

True it might work for veg, but you will have problem in a 4 ft vertical when the stretch happens.
I think my reflector is going to work well for veg. My moms were just too tall in my short space. My veg plants are very very short.

Listen to Hiker, or dig a hole in your floor.. The explosion is nuts.. I found out the hard way and was constantly running out of room..

Hiker has good solid advice.....

hey everybody im new here but been growing for a long time outdoor and indoor but i have a question that I've looked everywhere for. but which would be better from mars hydro the 48x3w reflector or the 96x3w in a 2.2'x2'x5' grow box with 2 to 4 plants. which would be better? whats the yield be like using LST, SCROG, and picking leafs with these lights? if anybody can help me out that be great im growing in organic homemade worm casting soil. i just need a good light to yeild 6 oz or less.

 

[JohnnieJC3]

I would shoot for a quarter pounder and anything above is a blessing/bonus in that area. I have similar area and had a random small plant that only stretched eight inches to a total of a 23 inch plant, grew all wild with no uniform buds at all and hit 58 grams. There are so many variables why my yield was low, (had three plants ended with one, hit flower at 15 inches thinking double size, didn't happen). In conclusion, and point being so much room for improvement with the mars 400(high yield strain this round hoping an oz per sq foot minimum this time). The mars II puts off heat, managable with good flow. If your area is on the warm side, I hear reflector series runs cooler.
