Mars-Hydro LED Grow Light Discussion

[Mars Hydro]

High Jhemp, the website warning is for some serious rain or lighting, if you think it is still OK, you don't have to upplug the light,lol

I read that the 96x5 maybe available now i'm waiting on them bad boys. On the mars site it says to unplug during rainy days which would be impossible here as there is a chance almost everyday here during the summer. Should you run a voltage stabilizer? They seem kind of pricey could just buy a new light with the price of some of these things.[/QUOT]
thank you Kriaze

I'm not too sure about the 96x5's as they're not over here as of yet but I'm running 2x 96x3's and I never need to pull the plug on them when it's raining. I think it's more a case of if your house gets struck by lightning or something like that. I use power surge strips anyway, they're cheap at a fiver a throw and will (hopefully) be enough to stop any external power surges. I think maybe unplugging them is just over cautious. All the best

 

[Mars Hydro]

Yes, usually the plants will get bleached when the lights are hanging too close, anyway, if it is okay with you, just keep doing the excellent job

I see most people hang their led lights rather high above their plants, why is that?

Since they dont produce mush heat, distance i use is max 15 cm with good results.

Waiting for mars2 700w to be shipped tomorrow,
Than everything is set and ready

For grow gonna use 700w and for bloom combine with reflector 300w= +500w HPS
Want to take good care of the ladies

Thank you Dennise

You need to have a bit of height on them to get the full benefit of the spectrum of the light.....

Im actually happy with how its going now but gonna follow your advice

High SweetLeef.

to sweet spot on the marsII's is 24" away from the canopy. It so you can get the proper mix of all the colors of light. Even coverage and all that.

That being said I hang my lights at the top of my tent and the plants on the floor don't stretch and the taller plants do great as well. These are just great lights no matter how you slice it

Thanks. I like the looks of it. It might be the one after all.

The 96x3 was my first light... have since gotten at least 20 more M-H's but I still use my 96x3w everyday in my veg tent.....

High lostreas, found your order and we are now checking with DHL, nowadays the shipping to your country is kinda abnormal, recently many packages are delayed in shipping. Hope the situation will be soon bettr

Thank you Sara, i will be waiting for mail. Any reason for the delays in shipping? I hope it will be better too, i was expecting to use this light from end of previous week. All this has set me back a bit. Still haven't tried other relay timer to tell you what's going on with the 300w old model led that never turns off.

 

[ganjazz]

High ganjazz, the light might be a little close to your girl, if she react not comforting, please try to hang the light higher,

Great

Just moved led up and indeed the light spectrum seems better now.

Gonna light a for inspiration.

Thank you lostreas, the thing is the shipping of DHL will transfer to local post office to deliver the package when the package arrives your country, Usually it is okay, but it seems nowadays there is a strike going on in the local post office, so kinda delayed the delivery, We have recently get few customers from your country complained about this. Hope everything will back normal soon,.

[Mars Hydro]

High Mars hydro growers, what kind of good words should I say to you now , it seems the 144x5w lights is out of stock now in US warehouse, Hmmm... you guys are crazy, we better stock more and more lights in our warehouse in the future, lol

 

[Dennise]

Just 2 more days and the new 144x5w reflector gets turned on... I love my M-H and I'ma real person.........

 

[DrVoo]

Hi Sara,
i just recieved ordered lights and find out, that i recieved 144x3w instead of 144x5w. How is this possible ? I talked to Lucy, when made order, and was told that 144x5w is no problem. Than i recieved invoice with 2pcs 144x5w. When i now unpacked that, i found, that they are 144x3w for same price and no info ? Why anybody didnt let me know, that you dont have 144x5w. Why you let me pay if you knew you will be not able to deliver them ? This is really not nice bizz behaviour and i am really angry, so my customer is angry f(and i am now feeling like idiot before him), he doesnt want 144x3w. What can you do with it ? Expecting your answer soon, on thursday i am going to surgery so will not be at work for next 3 weeks.........Hope you will solve it

Hi SmokingSara,

Just wanted to finally say hello and thank you to the whole Mars hydro company.

Had a number of your lights for a while now and been through a few grows with them, building up the number each time.

I've read this entire thread from first post and follow daily keep up the fantastic work.

Looking forward to seeing these new cree lights keep the updates coming.

 

[Young Yoda]

Hi smokesara seems you've become quite a legendary supporter of led growers. At this point im quite interested in the budget friendly nature of your lights but also particularly the diligent customer support your customers appear to receive. Now I see a lot of ebay listings for your merchandise. I don't think im allowed to post ebay links here but I just wanted to know if there are legitimate retailers of your products selling them on ebay? Specifically " lgledsolutionslimited ". There are stated 1 year warranties on these items. Is this possibly your company?

If you want the three year warranty you need to buy from their website Mars Hydro LED - the Best Solutions for Horticulture and Indoor Plants. If you read back somewhere in the 900 + pages Sara talks about how it is an ebay thing. My suggestion, just buy from the website. If you use the code COfinest you should get an additional discount. Sara should be on sometime around 9 pm EST and she can answer you directly.

Ultra Skunk
Day 56
Old Model Mars Hydro

Looks like it still needs some time ?

 

[Kriaze]

That looks sweet Ghana It's hard for me to say with my limited knowledge just by looking as to whether it needs more time. There's plenty of pistils that have turned orange which can be an indicator but you also have a lot of white hairs shooting still. The best way is to get a piece of bud under a microscope and check the trichome quality. All clear will be a little too young, mostly cloudy will be a cerbral high, cloudy with more amber will be more of a body stone, going towards the narcotic end of the scale. So a microscope or magnifying loupe (30x-60x) can be used, and then of course you get to do the personal test of smoking that piece of bud Good luck and once again that plant looks sweet
