I'm thinking about putting my FC-E3000 into a 2x2 so I can get the most out of it because I feel like it's too small to be used to it's full potential in a 3x3
Can a Mars hydro Fc 4800 flower a 4x4?

That's good to know. I run two 220 watt boards right now without dimming but I've never used a bar style light before.

Thats alot of coverage like 75w a sqft if you do that you will probably need to dim it down some

What I can tell you is I’m happier using the FCE3000 over my scrog than I was with my 400w HPS setup over the same size scrog.
better density, seems frostier too with less heat to deal with than the HPS.
the next run I’ll be growing 2 plants and scrog them as opposed to the single plant during this run.
This scrog was only my 2nd ever full footprint scrog so I have nothing to base it on really but from what I can see it appears to be one of my biggest harvests to date (full amount won’t be known for another week or so).
It really is a great fixture imo (again nothing to compare against other than HPS).
If you do utilise a 2x2 as @evergreengardener has mentioned be aware you may be going over kill on w/sqft. Lol.

Yeah I'm having second thoughts about that... I do happen to have a 32x32x60 that I'm not using, I'll go with that

I had a long in depth discussion with Mars hydro before I got the FCE3000 as I told them I wanted to be able to flower properly my 3x3 footprint.
the FCE3000 should veg a 4x4 and to be honest I can see that from flowering this 3x3.
I guess the only way I would know for sure would be to grow 4 plants again but I’ve been liking the lower number of plants and longer veg with the scrog.
This time I plan on training the scrog better for more uniformity now that I’ve dipped my toe into scrogging lol.

Nice looking plants for sure. I think after summer when I start up again, I will be going with this fc4800 in my 3x3 and move the 300L rspec to my smaller 32x32...was getting the 600 rspec but thinking overkill in the 3x3.

All shots of plants close to harvest grown under the. Mars brand
Harvesting with Mars Hydro
Here I will post flower pictures of plants grown under various Mars hydro products. @MarsHydrofactory I run in organic soils in 4x4 areas some dialed in some not so much. Here are plants grown under a Mars hydro fc4800

About a week out and the first run under the FC4800 will be complete. At 480w this light smashed in a 4x4 tent. I will update again before harvest. And once things are chopped I’ll be reloading the tent with clones and starting over I’ll keep this thread going.
