[Mars Hydro]

thanks for the info, arellanobrian

ive been using my 144x5 for 12 hrs mainly and sorry to here you have a diode out man, maybe see if mars can send you some replacement diodes? i actually just started using the light for veg so well see how it does in 18/6

 

[Mars Hydro]

haha, I will

Ditto!!! Enjoy your time off with your family!!

 

[Mars Hydro]

thank you for the help so far so good for your grow. I them

i ordered two lights off eBay, and both came plain brown boxes discreet. I paid paypal and delivered it to my home (real name & address)

So far so good on both reflectors. (1 for me & 1 for a friend)

p.s not really paranoid like most of you folks with payment. give it a shot. OR order directly thru Ruby or Sara. What i'd be doing next time instead of eBay. (Didn't know of this forum before)

hello Gnarl :: before we have the logo for tent box, but now we don't have it any more.

At the beginning of April I received a mars II 1200 and a 5x5 tent. The light was perfectly discreet, but the tent box had a very prominent Mars-Hydro logo printed on the side. I have known the delivery driver for 20 years and he seemed oblivious to it. Things change rapidly around here so the tent boxes might not be marked any longer.

 

[Mars Hydro]

thanks for the kind words, life. Actually, we have warehouse in US, so it's fast and you don't need to pay any customs

I was a little skeptical with buying but papal is super secure and it worked out perfect for me and super descreet packaging. I ordered straight through Sara. She is the best and will help you. it shipped pretty fast fedex from China. No damage nothing ready to go. I love my new light and so does my girl.

 

[Mars Hydro]

thanks for the help, randy. That is the case. People may take initiative to update the light earlier than the warranty year.

As with most electronic items failure is usual in the first few cycles let Sara know and the repairs are easy. If you have a temp / humidity monitor put it by the light just to make sure the air movement is good if it is near the same everywhere in the grow area you are doing your part as for the light I have both the 120 x 5 and 60 x 5 and while I can see there is more white in the light the lux output is the same as the Mars 2 and when you look at the price of the lights and the speed the grow light industry is changing if you get 2 years by then they will be outdated and you will want new ones anyway

thank you i love mars hydro and am drooling over these lights lol would be awesome to test them but who ever does cant make them look bad great job

You got my vote Obrian. Those are some nice fat nugs, not much leaf. Genetics? Looks like collage dorm LOL. THats where I did my first closet grow...got an A+ in english class for a paper on growin weed indoors. Ha ha.

Hi Neil, it's ok. You can deal with me or Sophia. There is no green leds at the light. If there is a problem, we will tackle it as soon as possible.

It is what it is Randy, i knew they were on the lower end but I saw no sense in jumping into a new field without testing the waters first. Looking at the light there are 8 rows of 15 leds. from left to right the first led is out and the far corner number 15 is dim, they look to be green but my understanding is there are no green lights in them? I bought them on Amazon, do I still deal with Sara? I will continue to use it and see if any more go out. My thermal imaging gun shows no differences around the good or bad fixture.

 

[Mars Hydro]

yes, this is the best way. Thanks for the help, Eagle.

There are green LEDs in the MarsHydro units. Do keep in mind the color green to a plant is plain white light.

The best way to resolve any possible warranty issues is to send an e-mail to Sara with pictures attached instead talking about the possible issue in this thread.

 

[Mars Hydro]

the temps and humidity control is important to the light. The humidity should not exceed 80%.

Sara will take care of you as for the lights quality I really wonder what the difference is I often think of breaking open one and comparing it with a Mars 2 as for the green LED if it was a reflector you can put a black funnel over the diode to block out other light and you will see a dirty white light not a green one just your eye's having fun with your brain.
The only reason I mentioned temp is you will see a lot of grows with a major lack of air movement and that is hard on the plants and lights I keep a bunch of the cheap eBay temp /humidity gauges in my grow and make adjustments as needed

it's very helpful, thanks, flyboy

I've also found that it helps to have a small (6 inch) fan pointed up at the LEDs blowing onto them helps remove heat and extent the life of your light . Looking at quite a few pictures on here , it looks like most of you don't have fans inside the tent , yes it's good and necessary to have a fan remove the air from the tent , it is also imperative to have a fan inside the tent moving air around also , I have multiple fans in all tents , no matter the tent size , one for each led and at least one for the plants . Hope this helps [/QUOTE]

 

[Mars Hydro]

I wonder how tall they will be after this holiday.

My 2 girlz are starting to grow up instead of out , they are 2ft wide x 1ft tall.

Day 37

 

[Mars Hydro]

thank you, glimmergrass. I will enjoy the holiday very much! Have a happy growing with the lights!

Have a great holiday, Sara -- I am loving my new lights so much!

 

[Mars Hydro]

Epistar320!no worries, flyboy, we will still ship out the light this holiday, every two days.

I hope my new Mars pro epistar 320 ships out before this holiday

 

[arellanobrian]

All the gardens are looking good!! Some amazing plants grown under mars hydro

 

[Mars Hydro]

I suppose it will take five to seven days this holiday.

Thank you Sara, if I make my payment tomorrow, approx how long before I get my package. Peace!!
