Mars-Hydro LED Grow Light Discussion

[Dave Groomer]

I just reviewed my 400's. Like Dennise, I did it because I love my lights. They have been a game changer for me on my quest to make myself health with RSO.

Just thinking....I have two 145x5's on order, due for delivery on Tuesday, do they come in concealed packaging or can you easily determine what's in the boxes?

I'm not sure about the reflector series of lights, but my Mars2 900 came in a plain cardboard box with Chinese writing on it. Other than that I would say it was fairly stealth. There were no company markings on my box at all... hope this helps.

Just placed an order for the 144x5, pretty excited will be my first LED! Trying to find reviews, but there's not a lot out there yet. Is there any physical difference between the 144x3 and the 144x5?

Dennise has both. Look at her thread. If I am not mistaken, they are the same case.

I picked up a 144 x 5 a couple of weeks ago and there was nothing on the box that concerned me at all. I don't think you have anything to be concerned about and I think you'll love your light!

The mars 144x5 is a little thicker then the 3 watt version and the box I got was brown with Chinese writing like previously stated. and as soon as mars expressed an interest in having us review there product I went to amazon and reviewed the mars 2 700+900 and reflector 48x3 and 144x3 as I have the 5 watt version!! Thanx for the great product sara

The only difference I can tell in the appearance is the thickness of the unit of the 5w.... I have my 96x3w and 48x3w in my veg tent and 2 Mars II 400's and my 144x5w in my 4'x4' bloom tent......

So forgive me if this has been asked before. I'm really interested in the new 144x5s and I'm curious if 2 will fit comfortably in a 4x4 or if 1 per 3x3 would be better? The price on these really makes me want to get 2 I just don't have room for anything bigger than a 4x4. I could manage 2 3x3s in separate areas though.

2 3*3 would allow separate veg and flower, that is a big deal if you wanna keep your harvests often.. As well as other options, i.e. Autos, photoperiods, cloning, etc.

Gives you a lot more flexibility. I work in 3 areas,- cloning/seedling , - vegging area and flower 4*4 tent. Options!!!

Ok, so I just got another email instructing me what to do. But paypal has a 21 day hold on the funds transferred since this was my first "sale". I let Sophia @ M.H. know, so I am awaiting new instructions... Wish this would've been done a different way, but I understand why it was done this way... CYA (cover your a$$) incase someone decided to run off with the money and not get the light...

Same exact thing happened to me...got the 21 day hold thing...wtf?!? So I contacted pay pay and was told money has to be sent friends and family ant as payment. That was the reason for the 21 day hold PayPal has. In PayPal eyes it looks like the payment is for,goods being purchased by the sender of payment. And it looks like I'm the seller. Thus PayPal is asking me to ship out item so I can receive money faster......All this was confusing as hell at first. But after speaking with PayPal I was told to contact the sender of money and tell the to resend the money correctly after I refund the money....so that's what I did....sent 2 emails to Sophia and a note with the refund...all this was 2 days ago...so now I'm waiting on Mars hydro and Sophia to respond/correct...can you help with this Sara???

 

[uptosumpn]

If anyone who got the paypal money is having problems for having to wait for the money to be released, contact Sophia and she will tell you how I did it. It may still take 3-5 business days to get it from the time you transfer it to your bank from paypal, but that's better than 21....

Dam, I then I see this post....guess I jumped the gun and moved to fast....?
Well I did contact Sophia like you did when it happened, but no response....I haven't heard anything since refunding...

 

[arellanobrian]

WOW

 

[Dennise]

I have a 144x5w and 2 Mars II 400's in a 4' x 4' tent......

 

[Xodium]

Thanks for the response Dennise. I took a look at your grows and I have to say well done! I'm pretty sure I'm going to try it and put 2 144x5s in a 4x4 and see what happens. I know there was a 3% off code floating around the YouTube channels I just have to find it and probably place the order on Monday. Thanks again.

Just too make things more confusing I just transferred the money to my bank as sent and was only given a three day transfer time no hold perhaps Paypal rules apply differently depending on account or how much you use it.

I have never sold anything on paypal, just recieved "gift" money and paid for stuff. So as bieng a new seller, they required a 21 day hold incase there were problems with the sale. I told paypal I was a services company, and I do reviews on products and the review was complete so I wanted a "one time release of funds they had on hold". PayPal released the funds immediately and I was able to transfer to my bank, so I just made the purchase on my cc. Hope this helps if anyone is still having problems.

Just a bit...lol but I'm sure she will get back to you tonight or tomorrow. I figured I'd post what I did since sometimes relayed messages don't turn out too well. Hope you get it all sorted out upto!
