Hello, I've got unused 3x3 tent and I wanna use it for mother plant. I want an advice for light, should I buy 150w MH or Mars Hydro TS1000 (148 true watts)? Thank you very much

How many cuts are you trying to get? 150 watts doesn't seem like much light.

I got one of those small Mars lights last year and I was shocked at how hot they got, it was one of the 2 ft x 2 ft ones. It's in my garage now collecting dust, I replaced it with a 2 ft/4 bulb T5 fixture and like it better all around.

No, I have another small tent with 100w T5 for seedlings and clones, and another tent with 2x600w, and another tent with 400w. I am a beginner and I've never kept a mother plant so I just wanna know If 150w MH/LED will be ideal for a nice medium size LST'd topped mother to provide me a good cuttings or if I should go with more watts, mothers ...

If it's either a 150 watt MH or LED, go with the LED, more light! I own a TS1000 and it will veg you a pretty sexy mother plant in a 3x3, don't worry about it.
