Mars-Hydro LED Grow Light Discussion

[uptosumpn]

Hey all! I've heard of some supplementing the Mars II with HPS. I was wondering if anyone has supplemented with CFL. I have 5 900's in a row, spaced about 3.5 feet and am considering hanging a 250 CFL between each one. Thoughts?

some have said that you really dont need to, BUT I WOULD! I was actually thinking of doing the same thing, jus on a smaller level..was gonna hand 1 daylight 42w cfl in ea corner...but they got those wicked 144x5's now so prob would need to anymore..we'll see if any experts chime in....would love to see it!

I honestly don't think there is such a thing as to much light and I know there are a lot of growers here on 420 that supplement their grows with cfl's... IMO it would work great......

You can do that, sometimes the mix of the lights together will work out great.

Hello uptosumpn, your plan is very detailed, I can see your are very into this. You know what, I think the 144x5w light will cover your space quite well, go ahead and you won't regret it.

Ok, first off, I just received my refund today so I can FINALLY BUY MY MARS LED'S!! Second, not to ask again, BUT im gonna have to as these NEW BADD AZZ 5w Led's are now avail for the 144x3's....My tent is a 2 x 4 x 5. (8sf) I will be growing DWC, 2 plants, SCROGED. I have a 12" oscallating fan will be on the floor, (for air circulation) and a 8" fan blowing air under led panels/above plant canopy...(for heat) a 4" (190cfm inline exhaust fan) <thinking about upgrading to a 6" 300-400cfm tho? via 4"-6" duct reducer, attached to carbon filter. I'm loving that new 144 x 5! But was told to go with two 400w mars 2's..Now i already know my numbers for gpw @ 35, 40, and 50gpw for my sf.... and to me the 2 400's would give me the same or a little more real watts as this new 144 x 5 ...BUT THE 144X5 COST LESS! See my point.....But that's not it for me, even after the cost seems to be better with the 144 x 5, I am trying to acheive a big yield of DENSE BUDZ in my 8sf space.....Keyword here guys is DENSE! So with all that said, my goal is 8zips DRY per plant....would 1 of these be EFFECTIVE for what i'm trying to do or would 2 144 x 5's,(WHICH IS WHAT I AM SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING) be overkill for my tent...??? Even though, as described above I would have plenty of air movement via 3 fans in tent....(4" exhaust<MAY UPGRADE TO 6" IF I GET 2 PANELS, 12" oscallating and 8" blowing between lights and tops...!) (oh SCROG will be set to 20", 4-5" above top of bucket. which leaves me with 40" OF GROWING from the screen! And I know i will need at least 12-18" min of how close i can hang panels from tops.....plants will be big yielding autos! HELP! READY TO ORDER

Hello, I have a 4x6 table and looking for what the best mars light or lights would be to cover the area to get the best weight and quality. Plan on using a screen Any info would be very helpful.

4x6 is 24sqf so looking around 888watts from the wall. I would say two mars 900 would work or two mars 1200 would be best. Full spectrum models for sure.

2 weeks into flower . Is it ok to keep typing down the taller branches while in flower ?
Did a little tying down today .

 

[KingJohnC]

Yes you can tie the branches to achieve a more even canopy height.
