mars hydro 300 watt led

[Strocat]

Now first off i know these lights are cheap but gotta make with what you got now my question is will a 300 watt led mars hydro be decent in a 3x3 tent or should i add a second light in there? 4 plants in a 3 gallon pot maybe 5 gallons if they fit

buy the mars 600.. its 278 actual watts and will do a 3x3 perfect.. they cost like 180$ on amazon and work well.. real well on one single plant.

My favorite mars hydro lights are either the reflector series or the smaller pro II epistar models

Mars hydro 300 calls for no longer than 18 hours before giving it a rest. Anything over that is asking for heat failure on a driver. That's why you hear about people with half their light out. They most likely ran it for longer than recommended without a break for cool down

i ran mine on autos start to finish on 20/4 and my mars 300 still works perfect after 8 months of continuous 20/4 use.. BUT!! I keep my temps in a lower end range.. I personally like never going above 77 degrees

Nice. Mine is old as dirt. Works good on a little aquaponics tank though.
