My TSW2000 is working great! Removed the power supplies to a different room for heating reasons.
These girls are about to be flipped!

Hi @fanleaf, I was wondering if you'd mind me asking (as I'm still on my first grow ). Why do you run both veg and bloom switch on tour lights at all times, does that not disrupt the nature of the time and decision of the plant is it just the time difference that you go with for flowering not sure if I'm asking the right question. Why then is there a difference between the 2 light operations why not just sell products as such. Have you found your grows to be beneficial from this decision. Thanx for your time

Me neither
Jack, you have a great example of many plants under a Mars Hydro light with DWC. Your plants are well into flower, and might be ready for harvest during the contest. That has a huge appeal to many members.
Huge, You have multiple plants growing in soil. I'm not sure which Mars Hydro light you have but it's worth entering the contest.
It's not about winning for me. It's about supporting a sponsor who has done a lot for 420 Magazine and our members. I'd like it if one of my entries wins, but I don't need the light. If I happen to win I'll pass the light on to whoever has the second most votes. It's not Mars Hydro selecting the winning entry, it's our fellow growers.
I feel u brother 100 percent I feel the same if I will I’ll pass it on cuz I don’t even have the space for it I will always support mars I’ll keep it in mind brotha
N I kno I put a statement for the light I’ll prob enter I kno it’s what sara would want me to enter
N dang old salt up at 5 am on a Sunday brother what u have planes for today
I've been up since 4:00 AST. I might head down to the basement and roll the sheet metal for my filter housing. It depends on how the preparation of contest entries goes. I'm working on the one for the TSL-2000.
Dammmm that’s early i go to zz late since my girls run at nigh have to attend to them but how this contest goin to work just post some pics n that’s is I’ll prob do my girls with some sparkle n Xmas lights lol make it really special tis the season

Thank you GHempster for the sharing, and one thing I need to remind again is that our TS 600 and SP 150 are using special design of driver, which are connected with the light. It will looks more clean and beautiful on the lights, but it do has a shortage, that it can only be working in the fixed voltage environment, which means: the 110v ones can only worded in 110~120v. 100v not okay, and 240v not okay. And 220v ones can only be used in 220~240v voltage range.Just received my TS600 and wow what a little performer.
Normally won't have problem but if you need special voltage, it might be not suitable. Such as in US, our normal one is 110v standard, but you want to use in 240v voltage, then the light cannot work, it will broke very easily at that case

I was going to mention this, thank you Preston9mm for mentioning this out! I want to clarify, as you know the SP 250 is released for around one years now, and so far, we have received 3 case like this. When we check with clients, we found one thing in common, that they add extention cords themselves. (The previous ones doesn't have the extention cords) Normally it won't be any problem if they checking with us first, but they all just add the cords themself directly.What might cause this problem?
- When add the cords, the cord size is smaller than what the light needs, which makes the cords cannot bear the electricity currenty and burn.
- When add the cords, the two wire was connected wrong, which will cause the light short circuit. and the connect might be burn like this.
Luckily most of the growers who wants to add the cords contacted us first for the specification and instruction, so taht we only have 3 case happend till now.
And since we do put our notice on the lights: we won't cover the warranty if grower change the light themself directly without contacting us first. I do strongly remind us again, (unless you are an electric engineer yourself, and no need help), that before you want to do anything with the lights, contact us first! This will be the safiest way to help you proceed more success and protect yourself with the warranty issue. Thank you everyone, and please also help me spreading the word.

Hi Old Salt, so far we have3 growers meet this kind of problem, and we found they all add the extention cords directly.
Thank you for the trust Huge,usually the lights won't have such kind of problems. Please don't worry.
Thank you Preston9mm again, I was out this morning, but I was planning to mentioned this issue to us and hope in future won't happen again.Same here... I'm not deterred. I love my Mars gear! Moreso concerned that someone wa disappointed with Mars Customer Service. I've had nothing but
A-1 service at every encounter.... it caught my attention.
Figured @SmokeSara would chime in to fix things.
BTW.... she's a legit magician; if y'all didn't know...
We have already contacted the growers for a solutions.

I know the lights can be strong, haha! Great it is all solved now. And you know how to take great pictures !The only thing my Mars lights have done is give me fire buds !. I did however have them way too close during the 1st weeks of my grow and clawed some from intesity ( sorted now). Now my girls are enjoying the Masrsian sunrise every day for a whole 18 hours.

we are trying to design a sticker and put in each of our products, so that when you get our produdcts, you also get the stickers , haha!I have spoken with at least 4 different people at Mars Hydro and all are helpful and supportive never had a ill conversation with anybody there. Never felt bad after talking with any of them.
My room is filled with Mars lights and not one issue except incredibly healthy plants.
The only complaint I have ever had with Mars Hydro is that they only put their sticker on one side of the light.

Thank you Old Salt, you are more and more Mars professional! I will open that post very soon!It's time to start thinking, and trying things out for the upcoming contest:
Granddaddy Purple Under the Mars Hydro TSW-2000
The plant is in a Mars Hydro 3' X 3' tent, with an actual footprint of 100cm X 100cm. The plant touches both sides of the tent, or is 100cm in diameter and 82cm tall. I can raise the light another 15-20cm while keeping the proper distance from the canopy. This is possible by replacing the wire hangers with a short piece of chain, and moving the fan and filter out of the tent. The pot is on a Lazy Susan for easy plant maintenance.
A photo editor was used to make the Mars Hydro logo 'pop.' I cut the logo from another image, and pasted it on the light to cover the washed out logo. Another option to consider is a supplemental light focused on the logo.
Presentation will be important. For my contest entries I'll be cleaning the tent, and making everything neat and tidy. The ropes and wires will be hidden as much as possible. The winning entry will probably not be a snapshot, but a well staged image.
I intend to compete, and would like to see quality entries from many of our members. That's why I'm sharing the techniques I'll use. Remember that Mars Hydro wants us to showcase their light.
