Mars-Hydro LED Grow Light Discussion

[Mars Hydro]

haha,that's a good idea,but it will be crowded in the tent

Now you nee to order another 144 and 2x96 on the side angled around the 1200 ohhhh lol.

 

[Mars Hydro]

so will you start a new run for the new light?

Ummm I don't think it would all fit in the 2' tent.......

 

[Dennise]

Okay so you think i could take a tent that is 100x100x200cm instead? I was afraid that was too big for Mars ll 400, but then i rather up the size so thank you for your answer

What is the optimal space between plant and the light ?

No no no no... I meant you could use a size larger light in the tent you currently have and it would be ok but I think the 400 would be plenty... Sorry I didn't mean to be so confusing.....

 

[Dennise]

so will you start a new run for the new light?

Yes Ma'am... getting things ready now....

 

[Mars Hydro]

too much light will keep those girls too busy,haha

Nope De wiil not is it a mars tent . You find need more hight.

 

[Mars Hydro]

they are doing well Blue Cheese got nice buds

Oh I can run it in my M-H tent and I'm not worried about the height... I train my girls quite hard and they are kept very low... I like the way the bud sites work better this way but I don't think the actual size of the tent and all the mentioned lights would physically fit.......The Blue Cheese I just took out of there was sitting on a 2' stand and my lights were hanging down about a foot and I still had plenty of room so if I take out the stand and strap it to the top of the tent I should have plenty of room between the tops and the light I think... Do I think it is a bit of overkill for this tent... Yepper.. but I don't want to set up the 4' tent right now so am just going to have some fun... Yahoo:....

The position for the lighs which shows in your pics is great,it ensure each piece of the leaves can get enough of light,from the top down to the bottomShe is really amazing
Yeah,i agree with Tortured Soul that you should join in Plant of the Month,you got a great chance to win

Hey Toutured , I moved the lights into various positions sometimes higher but I found the position in the photo effective to cover the plants at that close distance.

Most who use Vertical lighting use it in the straight ahead position , the coverage is vast as plants tilt their leaves to accept.

The panels are 175w a piece

I add in panels as I need them I was using three panels last week and added the 4th a few days ago when it became available.


I should enter her in the Plant of the month , wtf I will , I missed June I'll try for July

take it easy keep high and happy tourturedsoul !

Hi Bluecheeze,You're welcomed here
Based on your size 90x90x170cm,you need a Mars GROW TENT 39" Sq. x 70"(97.5x97.5x177.5cm).
Yeah,Mars II 400 can put in the tent,Mars II 700 also can fit in

Hello, i am new to this forum so i dont know if this is the right thread to post this in but i give it a try

I am about to start my first ever grow and i have decided to have a 90x90x170 cm Grow tent.

And i want to order Mars Hydro 2 400w LED to this tent but i have a few questions.

Will this Mars hydro 2 400w LED do good in this size tent? Should i pick some of the other LEDs?

On the website it says: Hanging Distance: 24" - 30" (60cm - 76cm) from the top of your canopy
What does that mean, cant i get it closer to the " roof " than 60 cm?

I ask because the height of my tent is 170cm, and the pots is ~20 cm so if i take 170cm - 60cm ( the LED ) - 20cm (pots) i only got 90cm between LED and Pot. And i guess the LED must be a certain distance above the plants.

Do i have the space in my tent for this LED?

I hope you understand what i mean ( not very good at english ) because i really need answers so i can get started

 

[Mars Hydro]

I always miss my summer holidays...but i can never go back those days

I like your thinking Spart , I am going to hang a Mylar curtain in the future so I can divide the tent up for those times with half a tent in use.

They sell Mylar padded picnic mats that I am thinking about using for their sturdiness as a curtain.


Take it easy hope you get to enjoy these summer , peace !

As long as your girls like it,you did a good job,right?

Noooo I wish... It is a Barney's Farm Blue Cheese grown in PJ's organic soil and rain water... It a living soil that PeeJay figured up for me and I mix it up and all I have to do is add H2O....

 

[Mars Hydro]

Dennise ,you are always kind to me,thanks for your help
Because of the time difference,i will answer all of your guys as soon as i canSometimes i also wake up at midnight to check the Forum

If my conversion is right that is about a 3' tent and you should be fine with the Mars II 400... If you can you could also consider going up one size and also be fine but you can hang your light up at the top of your tent and get stands for your plants and raise and lower them as needed... You do need to have enough space between the light and your plants for them to be able to get the full spectrum of light.... As babies I put them under my lights very young but as far away as possible and raise them as they get stronger..... I hope this helps a bit and the gals that work for M-H and run this thread usually show up about 8pm eastern time USA as they are in China and should be sleeping about now... Good luck with your grow.......

 

[Dennise]

It's pretty easy to be kind to you Sara... And you have been very kind to me in return... Thank you for explaining much better than I did about the tent and light... That really is what I was trying to say but I was doing a terrible job of it... ...... Hope you have a blessed and green day my friend....

 

[Mars Hydro]

If you already decided to buy Mars II400,we usually recommend Mars Grow Tent 27" SQ. X 63"(67.5x67.5x157.5cm)

Okay so you think i could take a tent that is 100x100x200cm instead? I was afraid that was too big for Mars ll 400, but then i rather up the size so thank you for your answer

Thanks for your help
Yeah,all the work we do is for plants,so we must adjust the condition to make them happy

Mars Hydro says: Hanging Distance:
24" - 30" (60cm - 76cm) from the top of your canopy.
Start high, lower inch by inch every 4-5 days your plant(s)will let you know if they like it or not.
Happy for you Bluecheeze!

 

[Dennise]

That is so my fault... I didn't explain my answer well at all... In the original size tent referenced the mars II 400 would work perfectly...

 

[Mars Hydro]

It's my pleasure.You also did a good jobYou can teach me a lots of things about growing,we can learn from each other

It's pretty easy to be kind to you Sara... And you have been very kind to me in return... Thank you for explaining much better than I did about the tent and light...

[Mars Hydro]

please do not say that,you did goodyou explained well, we may just think in a different way.Our recommendation is just for reference,it's not the standard answer
Everyone's growing condition is not the same,they just take advice from us
By the way, i have learned a lot informtions about growing by visiting your grow journal

That is so my fault... I didn't explain my answer well at all... In the original size tent referenced the mars II 400 would work perfectly...
