Mars Hydro vs other LED need help

[Frozenntime]

Okay so I been reading for ever now "a couple days " and I already have a 1k watt China led I paid $100 for in a 4 by 3 tent and so far so good growing 4 auto white widow plants and 3 a month behind it the buds are dense and thick and look amazing so anyways I'm about to update my grow space and will have a 8 by 6 foot room to grow in I want max yields and probably be a perpetual grow with maybe 15 or more plants in flower at a time so been looking more and more into led and I have a budget of around 500$ and I seen these 2 1500w on ebay with 340 actual watts that would be 680 watts of actual power for 284$

Or 2 of the mars hydro reflectors series 144 led cost would be around 500$

Seems like for less money ill get more actual wattage Or should I just say screw it and go with w 1000w Hps for bigger grows? I'd rather have lower electric bills and spend more on lights up from What's best for my price range I'm looking to harvest around 2 pounds a month or more if room is an issue I have more room if need be. Any help will be greatly appreciated like I said the cheap 1000w led has been working good for my small grow so far.

Always veer with caution buying unbranded LED’s on eBay. They use very cheap diodes. I encourage you to take a look at our lights. We also have lots of 420 members who are doing grow journals with our lights.
We use Osram Led chips one of the best on the market. Also, don’t let wattage be your deciding factor.
Since we use top of the line diodes our lights are much more efficient. All of our models have a low power draw.
Instead when looking at LED’s look for the PPF photosynthetic Photon Flux or PPFD Photosynthecis Photon Flux Density numbers.
Those are the real measures of a light.
Look at any top led manufacturer and you will see this number.
From Grower to grower always be skeptical about your lighting, It is usually your biggest investment.

Here's what my 100$ 1000w led is producing all are auto white widow from cks the ones with buds are 65 days old the 2 I have bent over and one by fan are 40 days old and the ones in the cups are white led auto the reason some of them are short is because I let me wife transplant them and she only used half of the 3 gallon pot so stunted growth the 40day old ones are taller than the 65 day old ones trimmed them 2 weeks ago looks to maybe show signs of nute burn on some of the leaves don't know what happened. So basically just want to scale this up to triple my grow maybe 15 plants in flower at a time. Please any help is greatly appreciated and also how much longer till they are done ideas? Don t see any amber so don't know all leaves where perky and lush green a week ago :-/ first grow grew an outdoor grow 18 years ago.

Get the first 2, and put lenses on them.

those blurples produce tiny leafs and small bonsia trees

 

[Frozenntime]

Thanks for the response mayne what kind of lenses thanks

 

[Mayne]

yo, just looking at it, you cant put the lens on it. The spacing isnt allowable for them. the Mars300 was perfect for it, but the ones you have above arnt.

mars 300 and mars 600 you can tho for sure.

May I know the first light brand name and certification?
Could you share a growing picture with the first light in the picture?
two pcs of white light is 340x2=680W. You want to use in in grow size 6'x8', it means 14W/sf. You need at least 30W/sf for veg and 35--50w/sf for flowering, so two pcs of the white light is not enough.

If you use the blue mars hydro light, you will need 2pcs of reflectro144 +2pcs of reflctor192,so that you can harvest max.

Could you pls send growing picture with light in it, so that we can judge its coverage and if it is powerful for your plants

Ur site says reflector 192 for 4x4 area? Unfortunately I can't afford 4 only 2 :-/

 

[Frozenntime]

This isn't the area I'll be growing in this was just a test grow with an unbranded led 1000w 12 spectrum in a 4x3 tent witch I assume maybe has 200w true wattage

Mars300 and mars600 is a good choice and a good news is mars ECO series is available with very competitive price, here comes pictures

 

[Frozenntime]

I'll look into it thanks sarah

 

[Mars Hydro]

Ur site says reflector 192 for 4x4 area? Unfortunately I can't afford 4 only 2 :-/

Yes, one reflector 192 can cover 4'x4'; One reflector144 can cover 2'x3'; If you grow a large size with less powerful light, you will harvest less and also use more electricity, nutrients..so if your budget is narrow, you can consider small grow size such as 4'x4 or 4'x8', then you can consider one 192 for 4'x4' or 2pcs of 192 for 4'x8'

How about your idea?

 

[Frozenntime]

2x 192 is looking good would it be better to go with 4x eco 98 though?

 

[Mars Hydro]

200W for 4'x3', it is 16.7W/sf, less powerful. It won't help your plants grow happily

 

[Frozenntime]

Kk thank you sara

 

[Mars Hydro]

2x 192 is looking good would it be better to go with 4x eco 98 though?

4pcs of ECO98 can cover 8'x6' very well, 2pcs of reflector192 can cover 4'x8', ECO98 is better choice for you.
May I know your country name? I will check stock for you.

 

[Frozenntime]

Is there a discount code

 

[Frozenntime]

Usa

1 more question the eco 98 is 200w so 8x6 would be 48sqf witch would be way under the 50w sqf is it because it's different led? So watt doesn't matter
