Mars-Hydro LED Grow Light Discussion

Mars II 1600 Draw power:110V Bloom: 704.7w±5%,Mars Pro II Epistar 320Draw power:110V Bloom:740W±5% ,and Mars Pro II Epistar with better built-up compare to Mars II.
It will depends on the size of how big your plant will be...

Thanks again SmokeSara for the info comparison.

So the Epistar is a little better in wattage and light distribution = a better yield depends on other factors.

Really if yield is that important than you stick to photo fems. With the autos sometime they are hit and miss I've had a few that yielded really well and others not so much. It really has to do with pot size bigger the pot bigger the plant I got a little one in a 3L right now might get an oz on her at most but I've done the same strain in a 10L pot and got 70-100grams.... if you are really going for yields go with fems or do a few autos while vegging fems.

We use Epistar chips for all of our lights9(except Mars Pro II Cree),but Mars Pro II series are with better built-up compare to Mars II or Reflector series. A better yields depends on many thing...light will be one of the part.

If yield is everything, stay away from autos. Train the plant via the scrog method or other methods and make the best use possible out of your grow-space. Get a big lamp and so on.

I used to do that and I got really close to 1 gram per watt. This time I do the opposite. Absolutely no training whatsoever. The main motivation this time is to finish fast and instead I use many plants. Have no clue what my yield will be, but it will be interesting

 

[Skullman420]

I see that many people are considering the Mars II 1600

What I do not understand is why wouldn't you put up the 100 extra USD to get the Mars Pro II 320? It's a much better built lamp and the price difference is not that much

Thks and i was gonna go with 5-7 gallon pots in a 5 x 5 x 8 tent.

Hoping this will yield 100g or more per plant 4-6 plants.

I may do aa you sugested and do both Auto and Fems at sametime, but as long as i can find High CBD in a fem.

I never smoked high THC i am not looking to get stoned, i need CBD for pain relief.

Limitations on how many flowering plants at anytime will be the issue.

Limitations is the issue on how many plants can be legally flowering at any given time.

So maybe Auto and Fems at same time will be best for me.

I need CBD.

Mars II 1600 they have a tent combo with it, the 320 no combo, but when i do go to purchase i will see what they can do for me on 320 and thw 5 x 5 x 8 tent.

I think they have tent+lamp combo also on the 320 now. I promise you that you will get a much better lamp. they work insanely well. The 1600's do as well, but I would worry about the chip breaking

If the 1600 is not really good chips they should sell them 50% off and discontinue them.

I will consider the 320 but only for a decent deal as the 1600 combo.

I think they plan to discontinue the entire Mars II series. I read something about it in this thread.

Anyway - Here is a 320 + tent package

Some reason the link you provided does not go to a combo for the 320 only to the 320 light.
