Mars-Hydro LED Grow Light Discussion

[Mars Hydro]

Hi TheBoogyman,please do not worry,we will help you to solve it.
Do you mean when you turn on the Growth switch only,the whole light not working,or some diodes didn't light up?

Hey, Sara. My 144x3 reflector I bought a few years ago is messed up right now. My veg switch is no longer working correctly. Anything I can do to fix this? I use this light for veg and I love it, I would really like to keep using it!

 

[TheBoogyman]

The whole light doesn't work with the switch anymore. I can see the switch spark a little bit and the light will flicker and now it's just not turning on, but the bloom switch turns on.

Thanks for the advice Sara! I'll skip the old 600's. The mars II 700 looks good but i'm thinking of getting two mars II 400w. That should give me around 360w for my 3x3 tent. Though I wonder if I'd benefit to mix lighting and use a 400w mars II and a 96*5 reflector.

 

[Green Drake]

Thanks, I appreciate the input. The 4x300w is very tempting and would provide very even coverage. I'm sure the 900 is nice but I'd prefer to go the multiple unit route (don't like my eggs in 1 basket lol)

Mars II 400 can cover 2.5'x2.5 area,Reflector 96 can cover 2'x3' area.You can do side by side growing

Yeah multiple lights will be better to cover the growing area nicely.You may go with a Mars II 400 with a Reflector96 or you can go with 2pcs Reflector96(it will cover 3'x4'area)

Really there is lots and lots of different combinations you can use and it all depends on budget. Even a pro320 would work or 2 pro160s or 4 pro80s.

 

[Mars Hydro]

Yeah,there are many different combinations.For a 3'x3' area,4pcs Mars II Epistar80 can cover a 3'x3' area nicely,it's multiple lights

I still think the new little pros should of been at least a 5x5 or 6x6 cluster formations and covered at least a 60cm x 60cm in flower these seem like a lot of cash for half a foot less coverage of the 400w.

29/22 days from seed. Under a 144x5 Both are being flipped to 12/12 tonight.

These are my other 2 plants, 2x led both are at 30 days from seed...
Just showing real world comparison of different lights. The lights draw similar watts from the wall during veg and bloom, but there was an obvious difference in overall cost for my other lights (3x the cost of the Mars light)
Just wanted others to see what an average grower is getting under similar conditions/feeding/care etc. take it easy and happy growing.

Sara help needed, Thank you
I wast sure where to post this. I tried to email mars hydro but have not heard back. I recently purchased two tents a 2x2 and a 4x4 Directly from mars website and first i got to say thanks shipping was fast and discreet. The tents went together great.
My problem is with light leaks both tents have them but the 4x4 is the worst it has them bad around the zippers and in some of the stitching and then a little bit larger then a pin hole in the fabric. do they all have a little light at the zippers? The fabric seems great, maybe i just got one that's not as tight sewn. Is there an email i can reach you at. thank you

 

[NematodeOG]

What's the best option for a 4x4 grow? I'm so lost because Mars Hydro has so many options! I want to replace my hps system so bad. I'm over my electricity bill but I want to get good results.

Is the reflector the way to go or MarsII? I've read so many different posts on here that now I'm lost on which to get and why. Somebody school me on LED XD

Not sure about that pin hole, but make sure that the flap behind the zipper is flat and not kinked. I had a similar issue with a different brand and found that when I played with the flap some the tent would no longer leak
