Congrats loudog, any chance of putting pics on icmag? Yours look clear but its a pain to keep clicking off site to see them. A side by side would be cool to watch.
Congrats to Loudog!
My LED adventure will have to wait..lol
Thanks for the kind words all, looking forward to sharing side by side reports showing Mars Hydro's gear. Now the question is what strains are we running for the side by side
Stay tuned and we'll start a new thread when the fun starts.
Thanks!
I see, that makes sense ^^. Most should be able to view the pics without downloading anything with normal IC settings.
Here's a side by side of the dry nug. The first is IC hosted, the second is flickr hosted.
Ultimately, this will be the equivalent of a test grow, so it's for the people that are potentially interested in LED and Mars Hydro. If the people and Mars decide they prefer one method to the other, I'll oblige.

Lol, you can buy the items you want from our website.
Thank you for stating the obvious!
That was a really nice promotion. I'm glad to see companies working with the talented growers here on icmag. It is a win win for both parties!
Looking forward to the side by side!
Thanks Mars, items arrived safely today, quick shipping! Very grateful for your generosity.
For those interested, the giveaway prize included a 2'x2' Mars Hydro Tent and SP-150 LED light. A 2' x 2' makes a side by side a little difficult, but may make a good pollination tent in the future. But still wanting to run a side by side, I came up with a solution... A SP-150 will flower a 1.5' x 3' space (according to MH specs)
I borrowed an associate a larger light that I had in storage and he is lending one of his SP-150s he just recently purchased so I can move forward with a test. I have a two 3' x 3' tents and an extra 600w HPS. Obviously not apples to apples here for a comparison (at twice the wattage), but we can run grams per watt to get an efficiency metric and certainly compare final product.
Give me a month to get everything in sync and some clones prepped and we'll run a side by side... 600w (maybe dimmed down at 75% or I'll pick up a 400w ballast) vs two SP-150s, both in 3' x 3' spaces. Same cuts, same feed, same everything. Should be interesting, at least for my own personal curiosity and any others that want to tag along. I'll post in here once I move forward with the thread.
Good vibes all!
