If they were started under another type of light (ie:CFL) then I would start high (30-36") to let them get used to the brighter lights. If you start them under the leds then I would be at 24". :peace:

Many thanks for posting this pic, since I had never heard of this strain before. When I googled this strain I came up with this company called -------- which I had not heard of before as well, but looking on their website they seem to have some crazy crazy genetics I have never heard of before and which I would love to get my hands on, so has anyone on here had any dealings with -------- ? are they legit ?
One thing I notice is they seem to be out of a lot of their stock.
 
Oh Oh , it looks like the name of the company got edited out of my post above, but it starts with Fire......
 
2 smalls units or more are CLEARLY better than only 1 for all the settings, even if it is side by side. light spread is very a big problem with leds panels, it is easy to see when you take mesure with a PAR meter. the fulll lightning power is only just under the light, as soon as you take mesures only 10-15cm aside the edges of the panel, the PAR/umol is VERY diffirent and become bad lightning.

even if the beam angles are suppose to be 90-120 degrees .... the reality is completly different. most of the power is going just under each led and only a small part is spreading at 90 or 120 degrees.

that why you REALLY need more smallers units ...... unless you want good results in the middle, and bad results on the edges of your area, but i dont think nobody want it.

I don't think it will make any significant difference whether you use two smaller units close together or one larger unit. Plus, you can always set separate lights at a slight angle and sort-of focus them at one point if you really *think* that penetration would be an issue. We're talking a few inches more space between units here, I don't think it matters due to the distances the lamps will be at and the fact that the lights spread 90 or 120 deg. downwards anyway.

What I wanted to say was that a number of smaller units is better and does not have any disadvantage over one large unit. In fact I think there are several advantages of more smaller units, so we agree there :)

My 2 x MarsII 900W arrived in the mail on Friday, super fast shipping and excellent customer service from the Mars Hydro team every step of the way. I just unboxed and plugged in the first light, very impressed with the build quality and the amount of light these bad boys put out. I will be running a 6' x 3' scrog under the two 900's, and will be starting up a journal here on the forums to track my progress. Periodically, I'll pop back in here and post pictures of how my plants are doing under Mars LED's. Big thanks to the Mars Hydro team, can't wait to see what these lights can do!

cant wait to see the journal man ill try to follow when you start if you link it here :cheertwo:
 
what mars setup do you all think would give me the best bang for my buck in say a 6'x4' area?:

2 to 3 Reflector LED Grow Light 144x5W, 4x Mars II LED Grow Light 400W, or 2x Sun Series 200x3w, or maybe a mix?

Thanks for the input! :)
 
Thats is GREAT i love that remote hope it displays temp/humidity info when in dark cycke too, one note for the software design group ADD count down reminders to the display... So you can program in like time to final flush, time to switch to 12 12 and if its light related like time to switch to 12 1w just do it automatally from the preprogramed remote... Just some ideas cause already.... I WANT ONE
