800 No? 4x4=8×50w/sq.ft

Almost

4x4=16x 50 w/sq ft

That works out to 800 watts

 

[SnarlyWeed]

Would be better with 2xreflector 144 for coverage.

The Mars II 700 and the Reflector 144 both put out about the same true wattage. I personally prefer the reflector, but if you already had a 700, getting another would be a good choice. Not sure about the pricepoints either, but if you can save money with the 700s then that might help with the decision.

Yeah. But with cobs you would not need 50W per sqft. 40 will do the job when using 16 COBs. If not using reflectors and go down very close to plants even 30W would be enough during flower

I would pick 9xCitizen 1825 in 3500K or Vero 29 SE 4000K and 3 HLG240/2100. This way you could dim the lights between 0 and 720W and have 45W per square foot and the light will be pretty good priced when DIY.

Maybe 300 bucks for the Vero 29 COBs and the Heatsinks, 200 bucks for power supplies/drivers and 50 bucks for a top notch frame. Great light... Simple to build

4x4/16sqft would be good with 9 COBs. Dimmable from 0 to 80W each you would probably be good using 450 to 500W and get same results then 600W HPS.

You wouldn't cover 100% or the space with 2 Mars 2 700's due to the footprint. But you gonna fit ventilators at then yeah

Hi Seymore. This is a Mars Hydro sponsored thread. I'm sure we all appreciate the comparisons you provide, but they would be much more appropriate in a separate thread.

Thanks for understanding.

Makes sense... Went a lil too deep but what i wanted to say was it would not need 800 at all

I got 45w/sqft with the mars 400w in a 2x2 but imho i could use more

45W of Mars 2 is not ideal.

Hey smoker sara I started a youtube channel, gonna test some lights side by side hopefully. Right now I only have a couple videos but lots mkre to come. Figured I would throw up a link for all interrested where there are some reflector series lights there. Like and subscribe guys, the more I can get and views the more support I will have. Give me some good input please.
link to a video, you can follow to the channel.. just started 2 days ago.

[420Amard]

Yup needs more probably closer to 65-70w at least I think a 700w would work but probably be hot. Maybe a 1200w in a 3x3 would be better

 

[Mars Hydro]

yes,you can do that,plants enjoy of more lights,if you worry about too much power,you can hang the light higher.

Hello, I bought two Mars2 700 with a 3x3x6 tent. I have started a Scrog set up and was wondering if I could use both lights at the same time during the flowering period. My question is, would two be too much?

 

[gudyul]

Wow,gudyul,it's amazing, so many lights there . Looking great, you gonna hold a 420 party there?

I used to have parties in college, lots of mud and beer to clean up after. Trying to keep it clean and pest free. Need more lights...

 

[Mars Hydro]

haha,just like kids got enough of candys,they will be super happy

Welcome Eugene. You've come to the right place.
Both lights would give you about 66.6 watts per square foot. That's a bit on the high end, but should make your girls very happy. Keep an eye on things and adjust height as necessary!

 

[Mars Hydro]

If i got chance,i would like to visit your growing room,will that be ok?

1$ per watt landed.

 

[Dennise]

So I would need 880 watts led for a 4x4 tent?

That's about right... That makes your tent 16 square feet so 50w x 16 = 800.......

 

[gudyul]

If i got chance,i would like to visit your growing room,will that be ok?

Yes of course your smokiness, visitors are absolutely welcome. Catch the red eye to Anchorage and then AK airlines to Nome, Alaska. Bring me 10 more reflectors in your hand carry.

 

[Mars Hydro]

Thanks, Seymore,

Since it is a scrog with four plants, I thought, the two centered with six inches separation.

 

[Dennise]

That's individual opinion cause I run well over 50w per sq ft in a 2'x2' tent for veg and a 2'3"x2'3" tent for bloom... And actually in my bloom tent I also run a 300w old style M-H panel for side lighting... So that on top of a 144x5w reflector... I'd much rather have to much light than not enough as long as the temps aren't an issue and imo the reflectors put out very little heat... I love my M-H's and I'm a real person......

 

[Mars Hydro]

Count me in,i'm also one of the true believer in :more lights will be better.

Eugene... I'm a true believer that the more light the better. As mentioned above... Be sure to keep an eye on your temps and have plenty of air flow...
