Mars-Hydro LED Grow Light Discussion

:circle-of-love: hello oldergrower, I advise to choose multiple smaller ones, because they will give you more flexibility and better light distribution compared to one single light. :circle-of-love: We only have 10% off discount for Mars Pro on Black Friday but I do have better price for 3pcs Reflector96. PM sent.:)
Good morning all,
I know a bunch of you are all ready using Mars hydros so I thought I would ask your input to help remake a recommendation to my brother. Apparently on a few of the online dealers they are having black Friday sales on Mars hydros lights and doing like combination packages. He is looking to get coverage for a 3 x 4 foot scrog and one other plant. He he has a rough budget of $550 and found 3 of the reflector 96 in a package deal for 487. though I do not know if this includes shipping or not. I told him before he buys them he should check and see if Sara has any kinds of black Friday deals going and if not, with the site discount and buying more then 1 if he could actually do better by buying through Sara.
So what do you guys think? 1 light that covers the whole area or multiple smaller ones which can cover the same area but have overlap?
 
:thanks: thank you for the help, super~~:hugs: Only our Mars Pro has the sale.:Namaste:
If he orders from the Mars-Hydro website, he will get free shipping and a discount for ordering 3 at a time. I think Sara said they were having a Black Friday sale although I am not sure if the reflectors are part of the sale. Also, coupon code COFINEST will get you a little more discount. :peace:
 
:thumb: thank you, Randy for the good recommendation and sweet tips. :cheesygrinsmiley:
If you check Mars Hydro twitter site they are giving a 5% discount on some of the Mars 2 lights for Black Friday I have not seen any for the Reflectors, Perhaps Sara can put a package together for you and bring another Lamb into the Flock.

I myself prefer multiple lights so that there is flexibility after all you do not need a big light for seedlings or even veg and if a light has issues there is no drama for the few days it takes to get repairs. Given the choice I would get three 96 X 5 over two 144 X 5 or one Mars 2 but that's just my opinion
 
Wow, they have sprouted. :thumb:Hi little sweeties!:kiss:welcome to the light:):kisstwo:
Well Sara...

Three of the seeds in the "Rapid Rooter Soil",
after hearing that you were interested in them,
they are emerging from their seed shells to tell you "Hi Sara!!!"

:) happy thanksgiving, Neil.:Namaste:
They ate too many scorpion peppers and needed a little time off:) Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving tomorrow and the same to all 420 members.
 
:circle-of-love: Hi Kindr3d, you can veg 2 plants with the tent. You'd better to prepare a larger tent in case they two grow big.:high-five:
Hey guys,

I've just finished an amnesia lemon strain under my Mars II 700w it turned out great super potent.in hydro using AN notes
Colas on this strain are thin though.
I grew it in a gorilla grow tent 1m x 1m square and 7ft high.
Was just wondering is it possible to grow 2 plants in this size space,have any of you guys pulled off good results?
Or could you recommend a good strain say 60% sativa 40 indica that produces good fat colas instead of long thin colas like amnesia lemon
 
I think some one in my neighborhood got a pro series delivery; I noticed an ever increasing purple glow on the horizon as I flipped through channels on my cable remote. :)

In honor of my birthday yesterday I have decided to give you all the day off tomorrow with pay.

Happy Thanksgiving!
 
:circle-of-love: yes, in addition, the vent on the front board will help to dissipate the heat more effectively.:high-five:
i like the added space between the rows, i feel like it helps alot with coverage. soooo beautiful :circle-of-love:
 
:circle-of-love: Cat, your three Cree128 match well with your grow room.:thumb:
I almost got the square one too, but with my U-shape tables I didn't want it to extend into the middle of the room, so I got the slender ones. Looks very nice 420flyboy.
 
Well done! db, it's very exciting to the whole grow process. :cheertwo: The video is made well.:goodjob: I love this music. It sounds very famaliar... What's it... I am a big fan of music.:cheesygrinsmiley:
so I was looking at all my photos and I decided to make a little slideshow of my last grow the auto Somango grow it was my first auto grow I used a cheap free slideshow maker so the quality is not that great but I think it turned out ok I had a ton more pics I could have added but I did not want to make the slideshow to long this was made with less then half of the pics I had from that grow tell me what you think

I think I will make one for each one of my grows from now on[video=youtube;SbMJxnHATKw]

:circle-of-love:wow, then your grow room will be on fire. :)
My plan is to get (4) of these and use my old 600's as side lights

:thanks: MarsHydro loves you, flyboy~:circle-of-love: It's great to know the remote control works great. I have sent the feedback for the old remote to our engineer. It's strange it works only on one light.:Namaste:
The plants are loving it , thank you MarsHydro:)
The new remote works both lights , but the old remote only works on it .
