Mars-Hydro LED Grow Light Discussion

[Mars Hydro]

Hmm... I wish we could have lowered the price ,but all the materials we used for our products are certified,we have given the lowest price which we can offer.
The give-away is the gift for our customers on some special holidays, thanks for their supporting

Or you could lower the price, if MH is giving things away, theres too much markup...try a promo that all PAYING customers can use...

Hi BiggerT,what is the hanging distance you used? yes, you can switch both Growth and Bloom on,also you may lower the hanging distance.
Every plant is unique,you can adjust the hanging distance according to the react of your plant

Hi Sarah, this is my first time to post a question to you on 420 magazine. I hope I have it in the right place. I have a Mars 11 1600, works great no real complaints. I feel like my veg growth is a little bit on the slow side compairing to when I used HID lights. My question is should I turn on the Bloom switch to for more intensity or will this be a problem to my growth. Thank you for any help you might give on this question.

Tris,you really helped me a lot here,i should buy you a beer
Yes,we will held some events to give out free products on some special holidays...visit our website or here,everyone still have chance...

It was for all Paying costumers as far as i know ... and in December they did another giveaway for people who already bought a light from them .. and now the Mars Hydro Cup were they give away 5 Really Expensive LEDs to People who are growing with their light .. so there are more then enough chances to get your hands on free stuff bro .. I guess you should keep your eye on this thread daily so you can be part of the next giveaway/contest Good Luck To you !!

I'm probably close the 3 feet away. everything is healthy but from using HID it seems to be very slow vertical growth. So it I understand you right I can use both veg and bloom modes in the vegging of my plants. Is this going to be advantageous for me to do so other than maybe a little more electricity being used. I don't want to hurt my plants buy having both on. what distance would you suggest the light be from my plants then. Thank you Sarah.

Congratulaitons!!!Your Mars Pro II Epistar 320 will hang in your growing room very soonLooking forward to more pictures of them Next time,i will bring it to you myself...i wish

just got some awesome news I got a email with the tracking number for my mars pro II 320 cob led light that I won in the Mars Hydro cup 2016! its coming from china its being shipped by FedEx it should be there next Thursday I will be sure to take some pics of it when it arrives man I cant wait till it gets here

 

[Mars Hydro]

Thanks for your advice.
we will held different kinds of events each time,last time was videos contest,next time may be other events....and we will not reveal your information to anyone or at any place,so please do not worry about it.

You missed my point, Im not in a legal state, so no videos. My suggestion is for a lower price without gimmicks, and the free advertising on you tube, which isnt a good idea unless you are very sure of your legal status. No matter, was just a suggestion. I dislike coupons, also. I believe in best and lowest without gimmicks. And I do have a reflector and a 400 II in my line up, im needing one light now, perhaps another reflector

 

[Mars Hydro]

Our recommend hanging distance from canopy:
germination 24-30inches above the plants
veg:18-24 inches above the plants
flower:12-18 inches above the plants
If your power is not enough, you can turn both growth and bloom switches on
Our recommendation is just for your reference, every plant is unique ,you just need to adjust it to a better distance/power according to their react.

I'm probably close the 3 feet away. everything is healthy but from using HID it seems to be very slow vertical growth. So it I understand you right I can use both veg and bloom modes in the vegging of my plants. Is this going to be advantageous for me to do so other than maybe a little more electricity being used.

[BiggerT]

Thank you Sarah I will lower and maybe turn the bloom on with keeping an eye on my babies. I have two critical Kush, two money makers, two pineapple chunk, and two BBxWW. Looking forward to a nice harvest.

If you are just running your veg lights the plants seem to stay very compact but turning on both they will deffinately stretch out


Sara,Do you have any 144x3 reflectors hiding away somewhere? I'm looking to get bigger reflectors than my 96x3 but also neat to contain the heat as much as possible so going up to 144's would increase I no but also going 5's instead of 3's would do more so.Cheers

I have got these 4 seedlings going right now Fruit Punch by Heavyweight seeds under my Mars 900 II but i was wondering if the small one on the left in the 3rd picture do you think that is smaller because it germinated later or slower or is that just a runt and i shouldnt run it? I know the other 3 look good but not sure about the small one. I would really appreciate the input

This is one of the differences between Leds and Hps. Under Leds plants tend to grow outwards instead of upwards like they do under Hps because of the intensity of Leds they dont need to stretch to find the light source.
To someone not used to this it might seem the plants are not growing or are slow growing.

Thank you Sarah I will lower and maybe turn the bloom on with keeping an eye on my babies. I have two critical Kush, two money makers, two pineapple chunk, and two BBxWW. Looking forward to a nice harvest.

If I was you I wouldnt lower the lights further, I would raise them to the highest point they could go.

Cool thanks, good to know. How far along are you with them? and if you are in flower do you know how much they stretch? I ran Blue Dream by Humboldt seeds last time and they stretched quite a bit

Hello again Sara,
Please help! I bought a Mars 2 700 new from you a little over a year ago and noticed a month ago that a bank of 25 lights were out. On further inspection, another random 9 lights had burned out. After contact with support with photos of the unit I received some lights to replace the ones that was burned out but no driver. When I inquired, the first reply was "out of stock". The second inquiry was answered over a week later that it was held up at customs. It is obvious that I received a defective unit and I accept that these things happen in production. I cannot help but notice that from ratchets to new lights are being shipped without any delays.
Sara, you seem like a very nice person who cares about the customer and good service. Could you either send my replacement driver or if it is still stuck in customs, a new light? By the way, the lights were fantastic for the first year, but I am past dissapointed and now frustrated! My plants are not doing well as a result.Please do the right thing
