Mars-Hydro LED Grow Light Discussion

i am running their regular model. nothing custom done to my 1600. (i ordered the light around 3 months ago, didnt put it up for about a month due to already had a hps run going)

all i can say is if you look at my journal you will see i grew 3 strains under this one mars 2 1600 in a 5x5

out of those 3

harlequin has dried to about the size of a bic lighter exactly (all the flowers are close to same size with a handful of c nugs)
grape ape has dried up but i had to cut a week early do to me not paying attention to the pH and requests of different strains (i learned)
grape ape nugs are a little longer then the harlequin nugs but didnt fill out like it could have
Sour Tsunami has been the best genetics out of the three.

I&i

Remember, Light is very important but genetics are more important.

hi folks!

today i had one of these moments, when you're saying "oh yeah.." and feeling an overwhelming moment of happiness. i had last times really annoying issues with irrigation (timing, pH shift, degree of fertilisation,.. ) and too warm days. a complete change gave me as result the described moment...

One thing i noticed, where white small and unshaped spots on some leaves on one well rooted clone. reflector96 was at least 70cm away, the "damage" was completly unconserned.

For those, who like numbers, here my power drawnings:
48*3W Reflectors: A: 109/159 W; B: 108/157 W
MarsII 400W, flower spectrum: 178W

Welcome Yeahboii, if you do not have enough led experience, I prefer you order mars II 1200w. 1600w is too intensive, I am afraid you can not use it will and your plants will be burnt. also , the heat will be a problem if the ventilation device is not enough.

Hey,

Been following this forum post for a while now just some quick questions.

1600W Mars 2 for a 4x4 tent. Any heat issues? Is the 1600 good for my 4x4, is it overkill?

How's the yield on the 1600W Mars 2. If I grow 2 plants under it in 4x4, what should I expect in yield.

Is it better to grow 4 plants under that 1600 or less? Yield is what i'm looking for!! :)

Thanks

I am running 1000 watts in a 4x4 closet, 2- 300 reflector, 1 4oo -5watt . I believe the 1200 would be a good choice and a little less heat.

U use a lot lights for your small area, haha . :circle-of-love:I am happy.
 
thank you GF, I will check if we can use that one:))) hope we can.haha . hope to use some meaningful name to mark our improvement :)

not sure if its even legally possible, but to go along with the "mars" theme and the new "mars hydro" website

'Kepler' is a nasa discovery program that was sent out to discover new life in other solar systems.

Would be a pretty cool name for a new light that no one else can copy for a good while.. "The Kepler 1200"

or something along those lines, would be cool to keep that kind of space theme going..

cant wait for the new light, i hate surprises. but if you think you can release it by black friday, well i can wait that long i guess :)

i will refuse to buy on black friday however, that day is a cancerous day here in the states. watch grown women stomp each other to death and steal from each other carts. its unreal i cant even watch news for a solid month around this time.

i have a 5x5x7 tent

mars 2 1600

4" blower (pulling air out) with 2 small vortex fans

my temps are right around 78-86

this may seem like a wide range to you but what im giving you are my pre winter and mid summer temps.

pre winter (right now) my temps have dipped down to around 78 Fahrenheit

mid summer (earlier in my grow) my temps were right around 84-86

now my 4" blower fan i do have connected to a fan speed controller and ive been adjusting that accordingly to my temps. when they get high, my fan speed is turned up to 50-100%. when my temps get low, my fan speeds go down to 10-25%

for a 4x4 i do believe you would have a heat issue if you had no blower (pulling or blowing) air from your tent. i would recommend blowing air in and pulling air out if you have the space and resources.

havent fully cured or even dried yet but this is my most recent nug i chopped under a mars 2 1600

i have 8 colas around this size to half this size. and many other colas about 1/4 their size

also had 2 other plants in that 5x5 tent that were harvested a couple weeks earlier then this guy that i took down at 2am this morning.

thats just one of them, all others are showcased on my journal.

thanks mars!

this was my second legit grow and it was my first with led!

couldnt be happier with it, i was lucky with the switch from super hps to led.

;) 24, got it on my profile. I've been in the industry awhile and have helped on grow sites for years. This was my second legit grow that wasn't a window attempt or a small closet grow w garage fluorescent lights haha o man i don't miss those times. Very first use of a led and i love the 1600 will most likely be getting the new mystery x light of yours as your price has been very reasonable and the fact I did this on my second grow tells me these lights can achieve greatness and I'm looking forward to push my limits. He doesn't know it, but CO Finest has a great part in my yield he's been my secret grow professor and doesn't know it. Hah

Hey thanks for your feedback, your bud looks dank.

You had 3 plants total in your 5x5 With one 1600W Mars 2 ?

I'll definitely have air exchange going on probably with a 4" blower like you're using. I was thinking about maybe using a 4x8 tent instead of the 4x4 tent. If I bought two 1600W Mars 2 lights for a 4x8 would I get more yield with 2 plants in that tent or 4?

I was thinking 2 plants under 2 1600W Mars 2 in 4x8 SOG. With you're experience with Mars 2, what type of numbers am I expecting per plant if grown well.

Thanks again for your input dude.
 
I would recommend you to find Co Finest thread. If it's not posted by tomorrow I'll link it for you I'm on cell in my grow.

In a 4x8

2 mars 2 1600 would be good enough but 3 would blow it out of the park.

The reason I mention Co finest is because he did a side by side w 3 144x3 reflectors and 1 mars 2 1600. Filling a 4x8 w 2 plants and a couple small tester plants.

So before I get side tracked, 2 1600s will work, 3 you could fill every inch w nice dense nugs.

I really don't like giving est guess to yields, for many reasons but my main being I don't know how well the genetics are of your seed or clone.

If I were to throw a estimated number out, you could yield anywhere from 3oz easy per plant up to half a lb (in my case without trying).

My grape ape last I checked was just over 4oz
harlequin was 5.7 oz
sour tsunami is to wet to weigh in my opinion still
but dry weight I'm expecting around 6-8 oz

So if I would have vegged my plants longer
trained them better
feed them correctly
and a few more touch ups to my garden

I believe I could get up to a lb a plant and this is my next goal. I wasn't happy with this grow just from how I went about it. I love the results but I know they could of been much better.

I&I

Edit: sorry.. ok 2 plants will need more time to fill the tent to produce heavy. 4 will take less time to fill tent. It's up to u on how u go about it and how fast u want to produce.
 
usually 48hours, but we are out of stock in US, so these days would be a bit longer.sorry Freiya.

I am talking with Cannabis cup organizer, and we will pay to join their Feb7~8 event in South Carlifornia. We will bring our lights to there, we hope to meet some competitors there. :circle-of-love: I am not a native English speaker, so I do not want to play words game here, product will say everything. Dear friends, waiting for my good news. hope to see you there:):Namaste:

Thats funny because I closely follow everything he does too! I'm sure you are subbed to his Youtube channel as well. He gives so many tips, and its just those little things he does that I pick up, and then start a habit of the same thing :laughtwo:

Actually I stalk them all LOL
