Mars-Hydro LED Grow Light Discussion

[Dabby Duck]

I too love my reflector 96. Received it just as the flip to 12/12 was upon my babies. Growth explosion for sure.

I'm doing exactly the same. Adding 2 pro epistar 160's to the mix just in time for flower. I mean it is what mars is known for. I have looked at every light out there and just can't find a light that beats their par/watt and attention to the red and far red. Hopefully for the next grow I can add a pro cree 256 with the epistars in the side.

Hey everyone

Ive done auto twice and decided that I'm doing some photos this time and got super smart a week and half into the flip 12/12 "hmmm I guess I can just run the bloom switch for photos" so I flip off the growth switch and run just bloom for a week before I get the idea that maybe I should have asked here first. Anyway when I did ask Sarah confirmed my mistake... So I switch on both switchs after this but then I notice that I induced hermies...... .

So anyways I got to rolled with what it is now. I spent 2 weeks combing over any picking off any nut sacks I could find before they could open. Then I couldn't see any nuts coming out so I was hoping I managed to somehow save the day.

Then yesterday I found a opened set of nuts laying on top of a small bud on the bottom. So I guess I'll get some female seeds (with hermies tendency) out of it

Anyways some pics of the girls

This also just seed that I got from a bag...lots of super long pistols with a citrus Smell. Any guesses anyone?

Dealing with Coco at MH is always a pleasure. About midweek here I noticed that the 240cmx240x200 or (8'x8'x7') is being discontinued and only 4 or 5 tents in this large size remain at the Mars Warehouse in my country so I emailed Coco to place another personal order. The delivery Gods made prompt delivery in record time, in less than a day and a half I after my payment a small looking female delivery driver was knocking at my door begging for help. I did not mind helping the pretty looking Oriental driver drag that huge heavy box into my garage. Jokingly I asked her if her name was Coco and she looked at me funny. I apologized and said "it's a long story".

This winter I plan to stuff this huge tent with Mars lights and Original Gorilla Glue #4 S1 genetics.

I have 2 mars 300 watt and they are awesome I just removed the class on them and it made them even better so imo I would always go wit mars they are not number 1 on the market but they are number 1 in price for quality

Did u mean u removed the glass? Or did u mean class?

 

[Skullman420]

Does removing the glass solve the problem with diodes burning out due to overheating on old Mars series?

Sorry yes glass lol

I don't know if it solves the problem but it definitely works better

I don't know if it solves the problem but it definitely works better

I've got 4 old school marshydro 300's on my 4th run with no diodes burning out. Won't removing the glass make it more susceptible to moisture

You're lucky, I had an old 300 model but only lasted 12 months before diodes burnt out. The new Pro II models are really worth the upgrade though

The light is all open anyways it won't effect it will be alot better in my opinion maybe try just one first

It would be interesting to see if you got a better yield because of it

Mars Pro II series grown buds I think this speaks for itself on how efficient they are

Strain - Big-Bud (It really deserves that name)

Strains - Big-bud & Pure power plant

Question I am running a Mars Pro2 Epi-160 in flower now and running full spectrum!!! Now I have another reflector 144 would I benefit from running both and splitting my plants up a little give them some more room cause the pots are touching plants are dry humping each other all day!!! Lol!!So my question is should I run both lights heat isn't a issue I can vent it out no problems??!?!?

 

[livetoskate81]

You are Mars Pro II Epistar160 fan .me too.haha

I just got this light about 2 months ago and it kicking ass on my plants I got 8 in Flower under it !!!!

I'm not going to be able to tell cause I added a mars reflector 96 but I would almost put money on it that u would cause u are getting the full effect from the light no fogged up glass

 

[Skullman420]

Sure - go ahead. The more light the more yield
