Mars Hydro July Prime Day Giveaway +Sale

#marshydroprimeday

So I just bought an FCE-3000 last week direct from Marshydro Canada. Was already 13% off, added another couple %'s with rollitupcode.

History : I bought one approx a year ago, and returned it, the driver/controller was faulty. It was some deal at the time, I paid $364.00 through Amazon.ca.

This new one, direct from MarsHydro Canada came to $310.40, and free shipping as well.

It took a week to ship, and their site said FedEx, but it came UPS, instead of dealing with the waiting game and porch pirates, I got it delivered to a UPS store pickup point.

First thing I noticed was it actually had all the accessories. 2nd the driver is a meanwell, not a muso, has a marshydro label on it, and it's smooth (the muso 'stepped' through intensity) and giving the watts as advertised.

The entire build quality seems to be much much better as well. The driver/controller assembly is new and improved and fully made of plastic instead of aluminum. The dial is no longer just min/max but can now be turned off via the dial.

The light bars themselves are different too, higher quality, smaller bars, not the same chip layout as the one I got last year, and it's way more white than yellow.

I am fully impressed. Thanks @MarsHydrofactory

With that I decided to start a new run.
10 x red dragon
8 x hash passion
2 x organic cherry tree

These are from seed, from my outdoor girls last year, which never fully finished, but were fully seeded my a male Hash Passion. Seeds were kept in fridge for about 9 months.

that's not a MeanWell driver, its Mars Hydro own brand with their parent company (LG LED Solutions) making it.

It's whats stated on the website. Either way, its a quality driver vs the previous one I got last year, is giving me 299.7 watts on max and isn't getting very hot.

Unfortunately that's outdated info. Seems the Canadian and UK sites haven't updated it.
Mars Hydro have replaced all their lights drivers 2 months ago with their own brand, the maker's name is on the driver.
I am not saying it's worse but it's not MeanWell

Was I not a participant? I'm just curious if I did something wrong for future contests. From how I understood option 1, I updated one post a day with the #marshydroprimeday.
