Mars-Hydro LED Grow Light Discussion

[Plant Dad]

On our website, we always advise customers to dim the light instead of the height, so as to save more electricity costs. You‘re right, otherwise there is no sense in designing a dimmer

I do appreciate but I notice it's not my light.. Maybe there all the same par value at those heights with brightness turned at those percentages? It would be nice if there were a few graph charts on my specific light so I could drop that baby down on my plants at 12-16 inches and know where I should turn my light down too. I believe you should be able to veg with dimmer without using 75%. I bet I could adequately veg plants at 50% if I knew what hight at 50%. Man I really don't want to buy expensive meter.

it's easy to work with a dimmer. there's no hard and fast rules. you can use multiple combinations of height and dimming depending on your own personal grow style. most folk feel it out over a couple grows. there really is no manual.

Chopped black cherry punch today. I always puff while harvesting. When I chop a branch and get a big whiff of terpenes I get extra stoned. Like I better sit down for a while type stuff.

Hi All

Hoping to get some information. I have a small 2'x4' tent that I had some great grows with over the past couple of years. I have two Mars II 700s which I have been really happy with. Based on the PAR diagram the plants are getting plenty of light.

The Mars II is discontinued now and I was wondering if it is worth upgrading at this point. My question is, what would the advantage be in getting say a TSL 2000? Would this be less light overall than the 2 Mars II 700s? Are there other advantages with the newer lights?

Thanks for any help.
