Can my ts 1000 use a more powerful driver and are they tweakable?

I have a MarsHydro ts 1000,and plants love it,it has a lot of diodes and is dimmable down to nearly off.It has a knock-off driver(not Meanwell)and uses 2-150 watt driver/power supply.I wanted to know what possible modifications and whether using different and more powerful drivers is possible,this my first LED although I combine with 600hps/mh.

I would not mess with it personally. I am sure you could alter it a bit but if you blow it up you wont be happy.

I would advise against increasing the wattage/swapping driver within the warranty period...

I haven't used that light personally but my understanding is that it's already operating at a pretty high temperature. High surface temperatures at the diodes reduces their longevity and efficacy. Forcing the board to take more power will further increase temperature as watts and heat are directly correlated.

The specs of the driver, volts and amps, also play into effect. The diode series are configured to work with a specific voltage and amp and replacing the driver with one that has different output can potentially fry your board right away.

If you take a foto of your driver it usually mentions it's spec (voltage/current) : with this info someone could help you.
I agree with above, I don't think you should increase power to your boards as they would run hot and fail.
