Mars-Hydro LED Grow Light Discussion

:circle-of-love: Hi Stoney, we don't have plan for changing the spectrum but we can accept customization. If you have special requirements for the spectrum, we can customize it.:circle-of-love:

Really that is awesome. I will keep that in mind. Would you be able to make a special Mars ll With the Cree diodes?
 
Nice garden man. I hope to end up with something on that level someday.

You've got a nice little garden yourself man. After seeing what these Mars LEDs can do, I am going expend for my next round: will extend my screen to 7.5 feet and add 2 of the Reflector series (96 or 144's) to really blast the light and get more of a spectrum mix on my next run.
 
Those would work great for that area. You could even spice it up and use a pair of the 1600 for some multi pound growing ha-ha.

I wish I could.... but I started out with the 700 on my list, then considered the 900, and now I'm getting two 1200s instead... if I don't stop now I'll never be able to afford my co2 setup, bluelabs monitor, etc. etc.

Whoever mentioned growing your own weed to save money never mentioned falling in love with your plants and spending all your money on things to make them grow big and happy.... and then of course smoking em :)
 
Hello everyone i have not been here in a while but i should have some pics to post soon.I have 4 plants in veg in a small 3x3 tent and I have a few questions to ask. My grow tent is staying at 70 degrees with the growth switch on during the day cycle and i wanted to know if that temperature was too low. And secondly if i turn on the bloom switch as well it goes up to 72-73 degrees. Would this mess with the veg cycle in a bad way? :thanks: in advance ^.^ :Namaste:
 
Hi everyone,

To Sara, or some of you guys who experienced dealing with MH- it's my 6th day after sending payment for toys ordered and:
nothing on my email reg. purchase,
nothing about shipment, tracking number etc.,
over a week ago (b4 purchasing) sent a question through web page- still nothing here as well,
and zero, nada after tried info@ a couple of days ego..
ok, I take into consideration time zones, weekend etc. but after nearly a week I should get a simple message, should I?
When I'm looking at the ordering process on the web page, in the perfect world, I should have them playing with my girls already (750km).The world is not perfect I know, but c'mon guys, wake up.
:smokin:
 
:party:It looks great and bright in your pictures!:party: You will have a happy growing!:cheertwo:

Well its here. The flowering light. MarsII 400watt. I took a few pics of the diff veg and flower modes. Thing is built solid. The heat sinks are giant. And it feels very sturdy. Alot nicer than I expected for the price. Mars hydro is some good stuff no doubt.
This is my little 2x2x46" and 2x2x60" perpetual stealth grow closet. I may end up doing a larger room eventually but want to get good at my hobby first. First led grow. Only used CFL's before. Can't wait to show you guys the girls when they arrive. Will do a full journal. After getting this new light in today I already want a few of the big ones. The mars II 1600. I think 3 would be nice for a medium perpetual garden. 2 for flower 1 for veg and mothers and my old 60x5 for clones and seedlings.... What do you guys think ha-ha?
 
:party::party::party: Congrats! LEDCanuck. I am so excited to know that the yield has exceeded your expectation.:party: Nothing could be better than this news.:cheertwo: Keep doing better:thumb:
So after 4 days of drying, today was the big day: my first LED harvest was ready for weigh-in and jarring. All I can say is that Christmas came early this year, expectations have been exceeded.

To recap the details of my garden, I ran ~1000W of Mars Hydro LEDs over a 6.5' x 3' screen (2 x MarsII 900's, 1 x Reflector 48). Flood and drain hydro using GH Flora Series. 4 plants vegged for 9 weeks, 3 x Female Seeds C99, 1 x Sweet Seeds Cream Caramel.

Starting 6 days ago, I did my main harvest at day 61 of flower. I took all the main tops that were ripe and left some lower immature stuff to ripen up for another week or so. That initial cut yielded 369 g or 13.2 ounces of dry, super frosty buds. I estimate that there is still somewhere in the neighbourhood of 3-5 ounces of smaller buds left to come down in a few more days. 3 ounces would be on the conservative end, so I will have pulled at least one pound of dry buds from my Mars LED's on the first try. I am very happy with this result, and so glad I decided to make the jump to LED's. I thought I could not afford to seriously try growing with LED until finding this thread and learning about the Mars Hydro lights, so thank you to the Mars Hydro team and all the helpful posters in this thread.

Here are some pics of the happy harvest in jars as well as what I still have remaining to be harvested on my screen. I will post some bud shots after the nugs have had a week or two in glass.

Still to cut:

:circle-of-love: Stoney, that is not available... Sorry about this. Cree leds have different specification than Epistar. They will not be compatible. :Namaste: Now the facotry is busy with holiday goods. Customization will probably not be available until March:Love:
Really that is awesome. I will keep that in mind. Would you be able to make a special Mars ll With the Cree diodes?
 
:circle-of-love: Hi Purple, it's a little low. The optimum temp is 80~85F. You can add heater to increase the temp a little.:Namaste:

:circle-of-love: Hi shem, I am sorry about this. If not on weekends, we will reply within 24 hours after email received. If we don't reply, maybe the emails don't go through... shem, could you tell me your order number or resend an email to info@mars-hydro.com? Just tell me you are shem from 420.:circle-of-love:

:circle-of-love: Hi Max, I am truly sorry for this. Every year during Holiday season in the winter, the stock always goes out very quickly. I appreciate it very much you have confidence in our products. :thanks: The 2'3"x2'3" grow tent will restock on 12, January in UK warehouse. :Namaste: It will be worth your waiting.

Hi Sara,

Thanks for the reply. I've just asked Ruby to remind me how much extra the 3'3" tent is... I'm eager to start so I'll get the bigger tent for now. I really want to plant my first seeds on my birthday (Christmas Day). A silly dream, but it would make me happy :-)

Regards

Mark
 
:circle-of-love: Hi Zippy, welcome to this thread.:welcome:for 4'x4', Reflector192 or MarsII1200 is enough. But if you want several smaller lights, I advise you to choose 3pcs Reflector96 or 4pcs MarsII400. :circle-of-love:Here are differences between MarsII and Reflector series. The led chips on MarsII are narrower than that of Reflector series, so the intensity on average of MarsII is stronger but Reflector will cover more area and dissipate the heat more effectively than MarsII. That's why Reflector willrun a little cooler than MarsII. :Namaste:

:thanks::high-five: Thank you for your advice SmokeSara, I think i'll go with the 4 mars II :thumb:
I have another question. Are you still interested in finding local distributors around the world ? Maybe i could help you out with that :Namaste:
 
wondering about the upgrade to 5w leds in the reflector series. did you upgrade drivers, power and heat sinks to adjust for extra power and heat?
 
Darn it. I just wana grow dank lol. This will be a perpetual garden. Anyone recommend a good seed bank with some top notch genetics. I'm looking to grow exotic colors and just stuff that doesn't end up in my part of the USA ha-ha.

Try Bonza seeds. I have never lost a shipment. I have with others. Just be sure to get the replacement shipping if they get lost.

Since there are so many experts in growing cannabis on this forum. Maybe yous can give me a ideal of why growth would look like it has slowed to a crawl on 2 of my White Widows? I have looked around but can't find much
