Yea got a new Mars Hydro Reflector 96x5 LED light.... Anyone know a mod I can contact to change my thread title?

 

[Krypt247]

So the left fan on the Mars Hydro is broke. They say they send me new fan free. Not impressed. Planned on ordering another in a few weeks but after that I will be choosing another LED company. Suggestions are welcome. Thanks all!

that's why I don't rate mars hydro

450W LED puts out 210 actual.....

your 900W only puts out 300 actual, i feel like the light is built to be good but shipping, quality, and customer satisfaction are not their top priority.... They wont send me new light without me sending mine back meaning I'll be without light for 10 days or more. Not happening. So she offered me new fan for mine and 5% off my next order with them. LOL, 5%..... Wont be utilizing that I'll tell you that now, not how I'd like to see business conducted. Need another light recommendation if anyone has anything.....

I had been looking into changing to LEDs, but now I'm thinking about getting 1 panel and trying to use it as supplement lighting first and make my judgment from that. Thanks for the review.

Yep not a problem. Today not much change guys, just a little water and they are growing. Still looking for a mod to change my thread title.....

Ok is it advised to introduce 1/4 feeding of veg nutes in the second week? Been just giving small amount of water each day as its not even a week old... How much water should I be giving? I know from a veteran auto grower he said its best to feed 1/2L x2 a day then it is to feed 1L once a day. I just don't know how much to water.... The small red pot I'm giving away to a mate going to have these 2 autos in 4gal pots from seedling to finish. They are loving the new light it's 16" from canopy... Idk if it's too far or not.... Tent runs from 70-85 which I know is good temp zone. That's with just 1 fan moving. I have inlet and exhaust fan coming thurs and another moving fan. Idk if I should have an inlet fan, exhaust fan, or both.... So I got 2.

Of course the hydro store was out of bio bizz soil so I grabbed some cyco coco coir/peat.... Any idea how I should go now?

Soils I have now:
FoxFarms Ocean Forest
Roots Organics 707
Perlite
Cyco coco coir/peat....

[Krypt247]

I still need suggestions for another LED light..... I'm going to get another so I can grow 2 plants at least in there.

 

[Krypt247]
