Mars-Hydro LED Grow Light Discussion

I think bid has a grow journal for a 400watter on his signature if you click it

 

[Nerfbane]

People have started posting pics of the nugs being grown under this light recently, BID's journal 6.0 is his first mars2 run, I'm a first time grower and I am just finishing my first plant grown fully under a mars2 400w, I just looked at a small sample of a bud sugar leaf with a 100x microscope and you could not see plant for resin glands.

I won nug of the month for October with a bud grown from seed to harvest with the mars2 80x5watt /400watt light it's a cross of GDP and blue dream I call "Durple pream" it turned out to be some of the most potent ,frosty,tasty and colorful, Durple pream is "hold on to the carpet really tight so you don't fall off the floor! " kind of strong meds I can say without a doubt that TopLeD makes some very kick butt lights!

 

[Nerfbane]

That was an awesome nug.

 

[BigIrishDoode]

Yes it was I remember the beginning of every bowl....lol

I know what you guys are saying about using 3 400's instead of one 1200 but if you are doing a bigger set up it would be kind of a PITA. I have 12 1200's and would hate to have to deal 36 400's instead lol. I'm hoping these things kick ass or all my HPS friends are gonna be like told ya so! Haha!

Im a bit restricted to height so I think I will go with several smaller panels, seems like they can be closer without burning the plants and if footprint is the only thing I lose I can just add more light, (for a higher cost of course)
If no one els has any to chim in with?


Thanks Jimmy6000, this is really helpful,

Well you getting the flexibility benefit in your case cause 12 separate lights to raise and/or lower. To make it like my example you could use 6 -2400's and be same thing as you got now, if they had them.

BTW I want a room with 12-1200W panels.

I would do that too from how you describe your situation, if extra cost worth it to you.

 

[EyeDooIt]

Yeah for sure. I actually decided to just keep them all the way up without ratchets and mounted them with wire hangers to get them as high as I can get them since my tent is only 7 feet tall they are just gonna stretch right into the lights anyways and I'll probably have to train some of them down to keep them from getting too tall (vegged too long cuz I was building out). I just checked on them today and they look great, 1 week in!

Hey y'all I got my 700 today....very impressed.
Only thing I wish it had was a power switch.
I am throwing over my pineapple express in the
morning side by side to a 357 magx2..
It shipped from china on Thursday and I went to fedex
Today(sat)...
That's some kickass shipping as I watched fedex tracking.
Thank you so much Sara..I assure you that my business with you will continue.

 

[rtoddb72]

Quick question for anyone using these lights....

Is some of the bulbs not visible.
Cuz on my 700 watt it looks like 3 bulbs are not lighting up?

I'm not sure if that's normal or its an issue with the panel I got..
Some one please let me know.

Thanks rtoddb72

 

[KingJohnC]

the dark LEDs are most likely infra red LEDs, the same frequency as your remote controls.

 

[rtoddb72]

Ok that makes sense cuz there are 3 bulbs on panel
that I can't see at all.
..was hoping it was something like that

 

[CannabisMeds]

It would be cool to see the 5W LEDs found in the Mars II installed in a Reflector model shape. Long and narrow options, and perhaps two switches as well!
