another update under the new mars pro epistar 160 LED. a few issues this round but thats def grower the panel has been amazing!
Either way good luck and settle into a well devised plan and stick to it.
Damn bro! Straight fire right there! What strain is this?
Hi BrixNewb, it seems a lot people will choose us for the first time grow under led.
I am so happy you like their performance.
I wanted to chime in with my Mars Hydro LED experience. I am an inexperienced grower and I started with a large HID setup. Had always thought about LED but wanted to let the technology advance and prices come down before I jumped in. I was clued in to the older style Mars Hydro lights being on sale. Ended up picking up two of the 300 watt (135ish actual) units and throwing them in a veg tent working out to about 55 watts per square foot. I started three seedlings under the lights and moved them to another tent and moved a small autoflower into the tent and she has been under the Mars Hydro lights for about a week. She is growing quite well, the nodes are tight and the rate of growth is fine by me. These lights actually surprised me. For the price I wasn't expecting much but I think they will do great for my small tent.
Hi Stoney, I am sorry to hear about this. Please don't give up on the MarsII1200. In general, the bud under HPS will usually be bigger but it will taste better under led.
Since you hope to try out led grow light, you can stick to it for the first running with all led. Then you will know the difference and make the decision. And Stoney, grow under LED is a little different from HPS. First time with led may not achieve very good result, but you will do better and better with lesson learned. The light has peformed well so far. 
As others have good yield from it, you should have confidence in yourself and the light.
Klovneposen, you are also a spidermites fighter. i think you should do a hole grow before dropping conclusions on any light jmo
this white widow seedling were 13 inch tall så not so big maybe bud small buds shot up from under the ground and i had to dig them loose from the soil actually
other one i have flowered is this one. and both had spidermites the hole run so they could properly have done even better, this on gave 107 dry. both under 48x5 reflectors
*LOL* i forgot to post the pictures i wanted to show to you when i posted before
so i think they are more then ok for the price. and i have been a real LED skeptic and HPS fanboy to the max.
Cat, thanks for updation. It looks you have everything in your grow room.About 3 weeks it is now time to water my Plants again.
I have premix water in my 25 gallon water tank with Silica and Cal/Mag set to Ph 6.5.
I use this mix every other watering without the Nutes added.
I then fill the Blue Picture, for watering with the Nutes, 1/2 full and then squirt one pump from each of these Nutes.
Pro Grow, Silica Blast, Sweet Berry, & Liquid Karma. The Ph is still around 6.5
Plants are looking great.
Career, it's a very good habit of learning. I believe you will achieve better yield in the future.
that's well said, Klovneposen. I hope to have a teacher like you, of great experience and life wisdom.so just wait untill you find you right plant training regime, get into a good use of some line of nutes and learn your lights dues and don't peak distance penetration abilty etc. im sure if you train the next ones properly you will easily double you result with a bit of practice. One years dedication and doing your damn homework and keeping a disciplined approach to the hole thing, you'll be as good as any guy up in here almost
this is what I thought will be the best way.An honest test would have been to grow two plants under both setups, two under just the 1200 and two under the two 60 x 5s and hps.You set your parameters around the free use and return of your light and it does seem as though it was orchestrated from the beginning.If you ever do find THE right out of the box combo that ANYONE can turn pro with little or no learning curve I would hope to read about it, good luck with what ever choice you make but remember the only true test is to commit to one style or the other and stick to it. If you took off running leading with your right foot and kept switching up your lead foot... you will fall down and thats a fact jack
Hi wildjim, we are fine here. Haha, yes, February is our new year holiday. Thanks for the wishes. I will give you my best wishes to your grow. Have a happy growing forever.
Hello Sara. Hope all is well with you. Have a nice New Year celebration in February!
I use a Mars-Hydro 48x3 reflector to germinate seeds in a Root Riot plug and to raise the seedlings for about two weeks. Then under my Mars-Hydro Mars II 900 or Mars II 700 at a 20/4 light schedule for the duration when I grow my Autos. I use the Hempy technique with 100% perlite in 3 gallon buckets. Wonderful plants that are two to three times as large as dirt grown. And no dirt means no B-U-G-S!!
I absolutely love my Mars-Hydro Lights. Two years old and no problems, ever. And 11 ounces of tightly packed flowers from one Autoflowering plant shows just how great these lights are.

yes, they are. I found one unknow species.
My babies are doing well all LEDs. 80 watts a square foot 1 week old
Thanks Sara i been working real hard the achieve being the-grumpy-old-teacher-type-guy-in-his-late-60's before i turned 30 myself
