Mars-Hydro LED Grow Light Discussion

Whats the difference from having the bulb reflectors and not having them are they required for optimal light from the growlamp?

Talking about the bulb reflectors that make a cone around the light bulbs.

They kinda spread the light out more so a larger coverage area but a lower wattage per square foot.

It depends on the grow lamp and how it's configured. Reflectors...and lenses...come in a variety of beam angles. From what I've seen, they seem to be fairly common in COB LED grow lights. In COBs, the lenses and reflectors generally focus the light in a tighter beam than the wider beam from the bare COB.
 
Growing sfv og with Mars ii 1600, I've heard people say kushie kush replaces big bud and overdirve? Any truth to that? Also trying to make a custom holder for one 1600 and 2 Mars 600. Will post pics sometime Sunday or monday

48x3... Not holding my breath for fast delivery, that's cool tho'... A free light is a free light!
 
For a 3x3 tent should I get lens, reflector, or bare, the information I'm getting doesn't tell me the uses or whether they get to be more effective etc etc

reflector/lens = more penetration?

It means better coverage. I feel the Mars ll And pro and better for penetration for a 3x3 I would go with the Mars ll 1200 or the pro Cree
 
Happy new year!!!! I get to manicure on new years day!!! My camera has taken a crap and i don't have a phone anymore so No pic's this time.This is the second grow with My mars II 700W. I seem to be averaging 8ish Oz's a grow in a 2.5'x2.5'x5.5' box With auto's The buds are no where near as tight as My HPS. However, and oddly Im only pulling a little less than I did with The HPS. I think it is because I had so much trouble venting the HPS and temps were always high. Anyway I am very happy with my light. I had to replace 2 diodes that weren't making proper contact with the pcb, and the lenses melted off. I didn't have a camera so I didn't bother the mars teem. I just bought the stuff to fix it myself. These lights are a poor mans dream. Effective & easy to fix with good results for money I could afford. My condition has cost me almost everything. Every penny I spend is calculated & these lights were an investment and they are paying off! Thanks again MARS!!!

BC EDIT: RoboCrop from Cream of the crop is some of the best Meds I have ever grown auto or photo.I only grew out the freebie so I really cant speak to the whole strain. But WOW!!! Old fashioned OG taste with a Serious haze buzz. finishes up with a golden autumn color. Nice!! I also managed to get some fem seeds from a Fast Buds crystal meth clone I reversed and hit the robo with the pollon. cant wait to see what comes out! Gonna call it DirtyCrop. Robocrop X Crystal meth!! :D

For a 3x3 tent, it probably doesn't make much difference either way. Any side dispersion of the light will bounce off of your tent's walls back towards the plant. Lenses and reflectors are more important in an open grow area.
 
Dirty Crop.. I like it! How about Heisenbot..? Yeah, the Breaking Bad thing is a bit done now....
 
Happy New Years to all my marshydro family! hope everyone had a fun and safe time and hope for another year of growing with my Mars LEDs :circle-of-love: :party::party:

Grrrrrrr man the Stems on my #1 White Widow are so thin and stretchy. I can not make out if it's from the light not being strong enough or of its just a pheno of the Crop King seeds white widow? My lights are about 22 inches away from canopy and it is the only one that looks like it can't hold any buds. Is this from the led or just a pheno

It's natural from flowering. They are gonna stretch a bit. That stem should thicken up. And I think you light can be closer.

Bring your light down to 18" esp during flowering. your girls will stretch about a 1/3 more than the height they were when you induced flowering. so check your light daily to adjust for the growth to keep the plants from bleaching. Hope this helps ya.
