Mars led lights

I used Mars led lights on my last grow. The lights worked fine during veg, but after 2 weeks into flower the leaves started dying and buds were smal at finish. I got the worst harvest ever, some buds never came to fruitation. Just hairs. I tried a second time and adjust the watering on my flood tables to water every 3 hours during lights on. The leaves seemed to look like they were over watering, so after that I went back too the HPS lights and everything seemed to turn around and look like it's supposed to look. I was not going to keep doing the same thing over and over and expect a diff result. That's insanity. So I don't care what I've seen online LED's sucks and though I'm stuck with some very expensive LED lighting, but they do have their uses. They can veg.

Not all LED's suck but yes Mars lights do suck try an area 51 or optics they work comparable to HPS.

I believe that because I've seen other grows, but unfortunately they are way too pricey and I don't have any more cash to pay for them now. I kept my HPS lights so I will just go back to them next grow. I ordered some seeds from Herbiesheadshop.com it's been about 14 days already still no seeds. They say if they don't come by next month on the third to contact them. Though I'm not in a hurry I still want my seeds, lol. I got rid of my tent because it was too hot and bout another flood table. I haven't got a great grow out of my first one because of the LED's bUT I don't think the table was responsible so I'm a give it another try.

No problem i feel your struggle with these cheap Chinese LED's, and the good ones are on the expensive side. I got rid of my cheap Chinese and am now waiting on 2 optics vero29 to arrive, try LEDs again when the price goes down on the better brands u wont be disappointed, and good luck on your next grow.

I will take a look at some others, I want some cooler temperatures very bad, but I realize it's way too hot where I live in the summer so I'm using a back bedroom it's small and just enough room for a 2 x 4 flood table and 25 gallon reservoir. I've got no room in the closet because my girlfriend has taken over all the closet space in the house. So I bought a 4x4 flood table for the garage I'm a try to get in 1 fall and 1 winter grow in there. I'm struggling trying to dial in these flood tables for now. I know LED's consume less energy and have their own fans.

I did pretty good with Mars but to each his own. They are Definitley crap compared to blackdog, advanced, Cali light works, etc.

But go check out NextLight.... That style LeD is the future
