Mars-Hydro LED Grow Light Discussion

Hi Flexy, Lol I already reprogrammed the remote for Sunrise and Sunset.
I thought maybe 4 hours to full 100% was too long & 4 hours to 0% for Sunset.
I did it in the beginning every 20 minutes but now I did it every 10 minutes. First hour was just the Reds increasing, then the second hour the Blue/Whites started increasing, so at the end of 2 1/2 hours later with every light at 100%. Now it is about 2 1/2 hours for a Sunrise, With 11 hours at 100%, then 2 1/2 hours for a Sunset for a total of 16 hours. Then 8 hours of darkness, it's scary here in the dark. Lol. I even have my bed in here now... Not Really.

This is indeed VERY cool that you can do that. I guess it'll also reduce the total power use over a day? Man the more I look at those new lights the more I want one :)

You can also put in cloud cover around midday to afternoon, by just varying your light intensity down and up by a little bit, both channels. I put in around a 15-20% drop that varies like 10 minutes down by 20% ,then up by 5% for the next 10 and then full power for 20 minutes and so forth , just playing around with simulated cloud cover , which really would just be less intensity for a few minutes at a time , another way to save money and the plants don't know any different...
 
That light will suck um out of the soil ! LoL

Here is a pic of the new babies in their new tent. Waiting for one more seed to pop. All under my Mars II 900 in a 2x2 tent. Had to vent the heat out through the attic but now my temps are good. 82-84. :peace:

I could do that. A couple of small cars with micro servos and a small brushless motor and I could have them zipping laps around the tent!!!! :peace:

Just popping in to say a BIG thank you to Sara, Lucy, and all the folks at Mars Hydro. I received the Mars II 1200 from October's POTM yesterday. It was the first prize to show up (no surprise - Mars Hydro is always fast!)

The Cheese that won, on the left in the first picture, was flowered under Mars Hydro 148x5w, Old Style 60x5w, and a 128x3 that has been doing it's business like a champ for three years. I'll be lighting the 4x4 flower tent with the Mars II 1200 and the 144x5w moving forward. The two smaller lights will shine in a 2x4 veg tent.

Great company, great service, solid value. :thanks:

:cheertwo:welcome to this thread, paul!:cheertwo: 2pcs MarsII1200w will fit your 4'x8' tent well. Just pay more attention to the heat control if it's your first time led grow, because 2pcs MarsII1200 will produce some heat. :high-five:

OK. I`m a new member so I would like to say hello.

I`m about to purchase 2 1200 mars hydro lights to go in a 4` x 8` (1.2m x 2.4m) gorilla tent.

Any thoughts?

I remember I did that too before I bought mine (don't remember whether it was the German marshydro or the UK one, but didn't get a reply to my suggestion). I simply bought them afterwards and cancelled my suggestion as far as I remember. But maybe Sara hears you and you get a response. Much luck!
