Mars-Hydro LED Grow Light Discussion

[Budfarmer08]

A 300w will do fine for 1 or 2 plants

One Mars hydro 300w per plant they do pretty good!

Thanks for the feedback! Have you guys had success using them all the way through veg and flowering?

Mars 300's flower just fine. In the right environment with the right strain and an educated grower you can get a QP+ from one of those lights.

Good deal then .

Hey Sara! First time grower. I have a 2x4 tent and just bought your 300w lamp. Should this be efficient for a single/two plants or should I possibly look into adding another light?

Hi all - yes I'm just finishing an Auto grow under the old model 300w. I didn't get as much growth as I'd hoped for initially but the main reason for this I think is that I was limited in how many hours of light I could give it. SO my advice is take all the advice you can get from experienced growers about light timing. An Auto really needs 20/4 to shine I think and I could only give her 14/10.

So taking into consideration that I deprived it of light, and still am - she's finishing fine. I had planned to share a pic of her here today so your timing is nice. This is 5days away from finishing according to breeder specs (Dinafem, Critical + CBD auto), 95% cloudy trichomes, no amber yet (gosh I can spend hours inches away from it gazing through the loupe!).

My only concern would be light penetration with the 300, and maybe light hours would help with that too. I had to lay this one down in week 3 to get the lower branches to come out to play. Maybe if I was growing a photoperiod under this light I would go for a scrog - would work well I think.

Dirtbagg, what lighting schedule did you use (auto flowering or photo?)? (I used to be in a band called The Dirtbags )

 

[Amy Gardner]

Hi Sara, I see that the competition rules state that the MarsHydro light has to be visible in the photo somewhere. I've had trouble getting that in a pic! I'm sharing this one here, because I'd planned to share it here anyway - it'd be great if it's eligible for the comp!

If it's eligible, I'm entering it. Critical + CBD (auto), grown under MarsHydro 300w, day 59 (70 day strain). Photo taken from underneath the plant pointing up towards the light (so maybe you can see the light in the pic!).

Hi smoke, The reflector series and Mars II have own advantages, And Mars pro series will better than reflector series.
Compared with Mars II light, reflector series have better coverage, but Mars II have better penetration.
Mars Pro series will upgrade the chips, drivers, fans, and dissipate the heat better. And had add UV.
Among three series, the Mars Pro(II) series is better.

Hi guys, are the Mars Hydro Reflector series better than the older Mars II and Mars Pro series? Thanks

 

[Mars Hydro]

Hi Bud, one plant one Mars 300 are OK. If you gonna grow two plants, during the veg, one Mars 300 is OK, but when they are flower, they need more light, it will better add another light

Thank you penny, you are correct!

Hi DB, Thank you!
Plants are good, How old are the beauties?

One Mars hydro 300w per plant they do pretty good!

 

[Mars Hydro]

Hi Bud, Mars 300 is full spectrum, you can use it all the way from seedling to flowering.

Thanks for the feedback! Have you guys had success using them all the way through veg and flowering?

Mars 300 is our oldest model, it is not a big light. Now we produced the Mars Eco 48 to replace the Mars 300

Hi LG, How about your current grow?

Mars 300's flower just fine. In the right environment with the right strain and an educated grower you can get a QP+ from one of those lights.

Hi Amy,

That's OK, you can take more pics, one is plants, the other is light, it's not a big problem. Don't worry!

Really happy to see join us

So that one doesn't qualify?

 

[Mars Hydro]

Amy, Could you show us another pic that have our light in?

So that one doesn’t qualify?

It's ok you can just say it doesn't qualify! I'll keep experimenting with how to get a pic with light and plant ...
