Marshydro Led grow...

Hello Everyone, I am Sara, I am here now, anybody knew me before?
Sara from. The first Mars website if yes we met briefly. Through email im currently starting my new grow the plants. Lovethese lights do disrespect to hps but they love these lights, do you still do custom. Lights?
 
Yo
I'm interested to see how they work for ya. I have a couple 1k HID HPS/MH lights and I was thinking about maybe adding a few LED light bars, or possibly a couple of the MARS lights, and some tanning bulbs set to power on for 5 minutes out of every 20 to add spectrum. I was thinking about just experimenting ya know and have been wondering if these were any good as I could have bought a used older model of the same light the other day. Look forward to hearing how they work for you.
You can add them as addition lighting or what I have done already is have the leds come on an hour before the hps so they soak up that extra spectrum but by combining them u should get some nice. Dense crazy buds
 
This. Is a quick summary of my last grow, if u want more pic I have a thread in grow journals

Check mars-hydro.com for prices, I haven't tryed the other brands, but they're quite pricey the Mars lights are way cheaper but still gives you great lumen coverage my plants love these lights also Temps aren't a problem to me anymore it stays between 75 and 85 and it's summer now.
 
This is the reason I bought the 1st gen Mars Hydro without much hesitation, the price point is good and you can cover 4' x20" pretty well with them. I want to remove my glass also. Never thought about the fans, do they go wonky? I am capable of replacing them with badder-asser fans but not sure how much of that sort of thing I want to mess with.
Hi Michael, nice to meet you :)

Our light is not waterproof one, so we prefer you do not remove the glass. if you drop water into the light, it will have problem because there has a lot circuit on the PCB.

As to the fans, actually, the speed of fan is too fast, that's why you think it is noise. if your guys want to replace with a slower speed one, please email us first, we will let you know the specifications of the fan.

The fans were to loud for my super stealth grow box, the replacing of the fans made the light perfectly silent

No, the fans I switch to are a much higher quality fan and bearing, stick with the ones I showed you, plus use the variable voltage, supply,

Removing the glass is perfectly safe, you get a higher par level
 
Hi Justin bongsmilie, great, do you have grow journal? I would like to follow it up.
I do not have it digitally yet, I have been keeping track on pen/paper and with photos though. I could make it all digital and share it out. Anyone have ideas of good places to do that?


EDITED: OH here is a photo of the lights and new tent. My light hangers were not long enough for the new tent (which is much larger than I imagined haha) so I need to get something to adjust them down to be within the stated limited of the lights. Which if you missed it earlier are 2 x Mars Hydro Reflector LED Grow Light 96x3w, I think it said 2ft from plants is best.

I am also thinking about making a scrog screen out of 2x4's for long term usage.

We have found in late flower you can put the Mars lights much closer than two feet

Para-cord with perfection loop on each end.
Cut two identical lengths, use your finger as a gauge for the loop size, wrap around your hanging bar and push one loop through the other.
What's a perfection loop?


I have hung lights with stuff that would frighten most people here, little pieces of string with knots in them, it is a by-product of fly fishing mania. Para-cord is pretty great for this stuff. The perfection loop is one of the smallest and among the strongest of all knots you can tie.

I have put our CREE light information under my topic, if you are interested in, please read there, any questions, please tell me, I can not put the light picture until we release the light next month, sorry.
 
Well after reading this entire thread I'm sold! These seem like a great value product, any upcoming exclusive specials for the thread Sarahu? You can't buy good publicity like this, but you can reward it! I hope you guys have hooked wazza and oilmaker68 up.
