My phone? Now what are you on about? It's downstairs, plugged into my house's (supposedly) grounded outlet, getting its battery charged.
It's getting too weird for me, y'all have fun.

Sorry I thought you were trying to take a pic to see, not look right at. Anyway, thanks for joining, we all have lots of bait to go fishing with now.

First day of trout here lol
I run ts3000 in a 4x4 flood table last run did killer did a cheese strain from Seedsman an a few other from them. All clones in one gal coco
But mars lights work well for the money !

I have always said that Mars might not be the "best" light on the market BUT I do tell people they work very well for the prices they want for them. I don't run any light besides Mars and I am very happy with my results.

To the OP.......The best light on the market won't do anything if your grow isn't dialed in. Work on getting that as perfect as you can and you will find that even an average light in a perfect setup will be more then capable of doing the job.

Absolutely. Thats what I enjoy the most is dialing in the smallest details to enable as many natural processes as I can. From CO2 to leaf temp to nute ratios and soil pH etc, thats what makes its all the more fun.

TSW2000 is a good choice for 3x3 tent. It's a white full spectrum led, best for all cycle grow.

Hi Sara, could you elaborate on the UV diode Mars Hydro claims to have? Center wavelength, bandwidth, power output, or chip ID would be greatly appreciated and would settle some debates. Thanks and take care!

I guess I can go off the Mars Hydro blog, and find them on my own... Mars Hydro states Cree and Osram for the other boards and COB they offer but don’t state the Diodes for the TS/SP series.
I’ll post my findings

I believe the site says SMD? Not sure if that's what you mean?

@The Physicist it says Epistar 3030 for the TSW-2000 and same for the SP-250 so I would assume same for both. Here's this also...

Yeah I saw all that already just didn’t detail it, the issue is looking through all those sites they manufacture a ton of diodes... the search continues! I appreciate the help!

Here is Cree vs Mars Hydro Specs (445nm Diode is what I found so far is their UV diode, No UVA energy whatsoever as far as I can see so far):

Hydroexperts.com says they are epistar... the search deepens
However, the spectrum won't change a lot between vendors since they use the same diode material.

Here is Epistar's website portal to the portfolio for horticulture:
however they are very vague on providing information and the only blue diode they make is peaked at 450nm. Again no UVA which means no UV.
They have on another page for LED lighting general, a 405nm diode, but they saw it broadens into the longer wavelengths from 405-415 rather than to UVA which is sub 400nm. Note this diode only puts out 180mW of 405-415nm light, an extremely small amount of light relative to the rest of the spectrum. See below:
