Mars-Hydro LED Grow Light Discussion

Other than the driver issues the light seems powerful . I just am still,learning how to grow with it . My plants stay really short .
So next time I'll be raising the panel about 40 in off the top of them

I have mine at about 18 inches from the canopy and it does cover a big area at that height but i should have lollipopped better as the bottom of the plants look a bil droopy. I love the way it grows and there are some cases where they either have some iffy equip or questionable customer service but overall i have had an amazing experience with them
 
I've just completed my first ever grow with Mars II LED's

Total wet weight of harvest from 2 x Painkiller XL and 1 x Blueberry was 1,246g.

All the girls were started off on a Mars II 400 and a Mars II 900 was added a couple of weeks into flower.

Very happy Mars Hydro customer here and the fact Sara is on here helping people makes me confident that, should issues arise, my investment in LED will be protected.

Final statistics

It's hard to come up with the average watts because the second light wasn't added until a couple of weeks into flower, but let's pretend both lights were running from the start

Mars II 400 - 170 true watts
Mars II 900 - 380 true watts

Total true watts - 550

Wet weight - 1,246g
Dry weight - 312g (estimated based on dry weight being 25% of wet weight)

grams per watt = 0.57

I must say that I'm very happy with that for a first grow with many mistakes along the way. Yield will only go up as lessons learned are applied.

I have been reading tons on growing with led, tips n tricks.
Careful to not over-water/overfert. LEDs do not generally produce the same evaporation/transpiration rates that hids do!!
Find the optimal hanging distance for your led unit.…. Unfortantly this can be a pain, as different strains like different intensities. I have 2 x 144/5 in a 3x3 and some like the intensity of 70watts per sqft but a couple are not happy..
Environment temperature should be around 82 - 85 for optimal growth, not the lower temps we always fought to keep down. I'm struggling to get my temps higher but can't get above 79/80 lol. Never thought in my life of grows that I'd complain about low temps!! Will share any other led tips once I read about them more. Peace!!
 
Hey all
I did a quick photo tutorial on replacing a light diode. I had 4 blue lights the needed to be replaced. It is my first DIY so if anyone can add to it and improve on it that would be great. I wish I had done a video and or done more pictures with the soldering part. I did not do any picture of the solder because I was soldering at the time, I got focused and pretty much forgot to take some snaps.

Fine print and Disclaimer: you need to have some ability to solder the small pieces. do not blame me if ya muck up your light.

I hope this helps all you DIYers: ---------->led repair replacement photo tutorial<------------<
 
 
Hello everyone! i have not been here in a little while but i had a quick question for the fellow Mars II LED users. I am starting seeds in a 4x4 slot tray in my grow tent an currently have the light 30 inches above the tray and the temps are at around 73 degrees with about 55 percent humidity. My question is how high above the tray do you start your light when starting seeds and what temperature do you aim for? :Namaste:
 
Hey Sara !!!! Do you think I can get another driver please . The light went out last week I took it apart and checked with another driver and they worked . So it's the driver ..

Hello Sara,
Here is a follow up to my faulty Mars2 700. After getting only the replacement LEDs for my unit and not the driver, I received an e mail from support asking for more pictures. I originally had sent two sets of photos and it was determined that I needed a new driver as well as replacement LEDs for the ones that was burnt out. Now I received a e mail stating that you are out of stock for drivers! This is terrible!!

Received my method seven led glasses today!! I can now without a doubt say there are no green LEDs. Funny how the blurple makes white lights look green. Promise to post a couple pix shortly. Peace!!
