Anyone Used A 300w LED? They suck!!

JanesRain · May 20, 2016

So recently I tried to grow using a 300w LED from mars hydro, and my grow was extremely slow. Switched to 400w HPS and my babies starting growing again within 24 hours

The LED just couldn't seem to get them past 1 week old looking seedlings, despite the fact they have been in the tent with all environmental factors spot on for 3 weeks.

Even my party cup grows are coming around now, whereas it took them over a month to get on their 4th set of leaves. lol

Anyone had similar experiences with a single 300w LED? I will NEVER use one again..or at least not one from Mars Hydro

You get what you pay for with LED's
What were you expecting from a 100$ LED?

Used a 300 watt led for vegging only, then they go under a 600 hps. All same strain Clones in different flowering stages.. You can see the height difference..

300w LED

is great @ 8-10 inches above the 1 plant that fits in the footprint.
That light have UV/IR? cause those style lights suck if they don't.. I got 5 LED panels for any LED lovers... Most of the time they are on a shelf.

I use a 240 LED W uv/ir for vegging mamas works great. Flower uses LED and HID like it should be. We don't live on mars with red skies and sheet, plants like whites and blues too

They will be extremely slow to grow, and possibly halt altogether if it was anything like mine. I would switch to something more powerful...I had really bad experiences with that light, but cool if ur plants will get past seedling stage with it!

I already did. Only paid 70$ for it on ebay, sold it for the same price on amazon since they're 90 there.
