Hello, I am going to have two tents, one 32" x 32" and the other 36" x 48". Which lights would be best for each tent?
Day 39 of flower for 4 Fruit Punch feminized by HeavyWeight seeds in 3 gallon smart pots under a MarsII 900 in a 3x3x5'8" gorilla grow tent being fed heavy with Advanced nutrients Sensi Bloom B52 Bud candy and Overdrive flush starts on week 8 and goes till the end of week 10. I like to do a long and proper flush with 1 week of final phase and then two weeks of just H20. Cheers let me know what you think
May i know which series light you perfer to get ? LED Grow Lights And may i know where are you located?
Guess that answers the question before
The Mars II 900 is way too big for either of my tents. It's coverage is 3.5' x 3.5'. I was really deciding between the Mars II 400 and the Reflector 96. Or one step up from those.
well now that gimme the bloody giggles lol
(Decided on an HPS light for the bigger tent, so I'm only worrying about the 32"x32" tent now)
I'm not really sure, which is why I'm asking. The Reflector 48 seems like the better choice, but the Mars II 400 is square which I would assume would be able to distribute light better in a square tent. Located in Massachusetts.
here's something sweet for ya sara.
and in my new dwc grow the youngest in the famdamily, critical kush. also under your light.
have fun eh
no names lol the first is #2.
the lil girl in dwc has not picked her name yet, lol.
Hi Sara,
I was looking forward to get Pro version to replace my current light because they'd be an upgrade. I find the programmable onset feature really interesting not that much to the fact that its less brutal and more gradual to the plants but more for the impact it'd have on the way I use electricity. The gradual onset wont induce a power consumption spike and that is why I wanted to replace my 3 mars 1200 with the pro ones...
I already talked with Sean who really tried to push the switchable ones and I thought this was a way to lower current stocks which is normal for a business but If they are not as reliable as they should be well I might just wait to actually need a light...
Thank you very much for your time

You have to remember when picking out your light as you lower it to flower the coverage area will get pretty much smaller and smaller. I right now have the 400w in a 60cm x 60cm and it's covering it perfectly in veg and now flower. Even tho it states it covers 2.5 foot that is during veg and during flower it covers 4 sqft perfectly(45w/sqft). This is what you want you, when picking the light if you're going to be using it for the full cycle you will need the extra coverage/wattage. if not during flower you will end up with dark sides and will need additional side lighting. Really you should be aiming for around 40+ draw watts per square foot for a complete and heavy yielding grow.The Mars II 900 is way too big for either of my tents. It's coverage is 3.5' x 3.5'.

Basically go for the 2x reflector 96s or the 700w. This way you will be able to use them the full cycle with out adding extra lighting, also with light bouncing off the Mylar you will be getting a nice even par value right across the tent floor. Hope this helps.
