I too unfortunately bought 2 MARS hydro 300 or 3000 something something’s 300 wattish lights for my veg and completely concur that I am rather disappointed in my purchase. Oh well just like everything else live and learn I guess. However for anyone thinking about purchasing a MARS light you get 30 days no questions asked and free returns on Amazon if you also are not pleased with your purchase!
Was it just assembling the mars lights that you didnt like or anything else?
Assembly for sure, I don't like the hanging cords that attach to each bar, the tolerance for the bolts were not good (had an issue installing one of the hanging supports), and it just feels cheap.
You’re killing it LD keep it up and keep the air moving and the mold will be someone else’s problem! I have kept my humidity pegged the last 3 grows at 70-73% basically 10ish under my temp until the last 3 weeks and the 7 muffin fans “four sixteen inch from above and three 10 inch from below” and so far have been very blessed or lucky and have not had an issue. The frost reward at the end is worth the nail biting weeks 4-7. I do not lower my Rh to the low 60’s until the last week. Right wrong or indifferent I started running like this because of 2 three letter acronym boys on here. DHF and DJM.Day 30, cruising... Absolutely concerned with mold come late flower with the size so far.
Our dehui was defective, have a new one running continuous and can keep rh down to 50-55%
Some grow more calmag arriving today and will get incorporated into the regimen...
Good vibes all
Looking amazing LDThanks guys.
Starting to see some possible differences in lighting... We have an OG Chem cut under each light. Some were slightly healthier than others going in, sit in different locations under each light, different airflow, etc. so take impressions with a grain of salt. But, same cut, same room, same feed (slight variations for emitter/pressure differences)...
Impressions so far. Take it or leave it, who knows maybe those stretchy gals will fill in with fat baseball bats. 32 days
Growers Choice ($750 ~2 years ago) - Never really liked how plants stacked, and have been running this light for almost two years. They seem to get skinny at the top, and some decent stretch. I'd throw this OGC in the bottom 2 in terms of structure I'd like to see at this point.
Total Grow ($650) - The most stretch out of all lights. Also only a 6 bar running less watts. Makes sense, but less desirable structure all things as presented. Had to tie down two OGC tops because they just kept reaching
Grow Light Science ($775) - Dimmed down a click still, and stacks tight. Pulling up to 850w at max; I'm liking this one leaving room for growth when really dialing in a room, leaving lights stationary without sacrificing too much in intensity early in pre-flower/flower, or finding a lady that just likes to sunbathe.
Spectrum King ($710) - gotta say some nice stacking so far. One of the top two with the GLS. There's an OGC under both the SK and the GC, and that plant seems to be a bit tighter than the OGC under the GC only... Maybe...
Pics don't seem to capture it all that well, but we tried
