The 1200W or 1600W Q?

[Cannafeld]

Hi Folks , wasup?

I'm interested with becoming an Indoor farmer, considering purchasing from the local sponsor here, Mars-Hydro, the grow tent and LED light, now the combination crossed my thoughts was 3' 11''x 3' 11''x 6' 7'' for the Grow Tent (120x120x200cm) along with the MARS II 1600W.

- Has anyone have an experience with the light which can advise any thoughts (PM r welcome as well)?
- Is the 1200W more than enough or does the 1600W important for much better harvest?
- Regarding the direct voltage - I'm a bit addled here - is it real 1600W or what? trying to figure out the deal between the HPS to LED from POV of the electricity bill ..

Thanks in advanced

Hi Cannafeld, MarsII1200 will be able to cover 120cmx120cm tent, but you can consider about MarsII1600 which may maxmize the possiblity of better harvest for more watts. The actual draw power of MarsII1600 is 720w ~ 740w. It can replace 800w HPS. Compared to HPS, LED will save much electricity from AC, ballast and other ventilation devices.
