The HLG quantum boards use Samsung LM301B diodes, and these Mars Hydro use unbranded SMD diodes. Does it matter? Based on the spectrum and intensity, I’d say no.

TS 1000 Full Spectrum LED Grow Lights | Mars Hydro

The inverse square law is a physics law that can help you to determine how intense your grow light is at a specified distance from your plants, which will help you determine whether you need to hang the grow light closer or further away from your plants. The driver was already mounted onto the light and the only thing I had to do was to plug the power cord into the driver and the grow light and mount it using the two ratchet straps as well as the two metal trapezes can be attached to the light directly. Here you can see the metal wire trapeze that is on both sides. This is used in conjunction with the ratchet straps High power efficiency: Pulls 450 watts from the wall and emits 2.2 micromoles per Joule of energy used (uMol/J). That’s more or less on target with what cannabis plants need to grow. So if you’re getting this reading from your HPS light at 30 inch hang height, you’re in a good position. Close to or below 20 moles and you’ll want to lower the lamp until you reach a number up to 40 moles. Focusing on personal indoor growing and small-scale cultivation, Mars Hydro TS LED grow lights are highly cost-efficient – TS Series provides sufficient lighting energy for indoor plants and achieve bountiful grow results from year-round production.

If your plants are currently receiving light intensity within the above range, you do not need to adjust the height of your grow light. Below this range would require moving the grow light closer to the plants. Above this range would require moving the grow light further away from the plants. Special Features: Comes with 2 ratchet straps and a metal hanger/wire. Negatives About The Mars Hydro TS 1000 The electricity consumption is much lesser compared to HID grow light systems and you end up saving a lot of money. This is because of the use of efficient diodes and the bonus addition of full spectrum along with IR. It comes without UV diodes, which is not a big deal but may matter to some. In fact, UV light may have a small impact on yield quality, but that has not yet been definitely proven. The SF-7000 uses 650 watts from the outlet, despite the 7000 number in the name. Compared to other similar LED grow lights for 5×5 feet, the SF-7000 has the same wattage as the HLG 650R, and slightly more than the HLG 600, both of those grow lights cover a similar sized area. The power efficiency is also similar to other 5×5 foot coverage grow lights.

The current version of these grow lights come with a dimmer knob and daisy chain capability. The first generation did not feature daisy chain, and the dimmer needed to be adjusted from underneath the driver. SF-2000 Coverage Area: This completed grow tent kit provided me with a fantastic indoor gardening experience. Sturdy construction, efficient lighting, ventilation system, and useful accessories, it offers great value for the price! If you want to learn about how light intensity affects cannabis plants, read my full article here. True Wattage:Longer Lifespan: LED grow lights have a significantly longer lifespan compared to other lighting options. They can last up to 50,000 hours or more, depending on the quality of the LEDs. This means you won’t have to replace them as frequently, saving you money in the long run.

Mars Hydro created a light that can closely compete with the most modern and best performing grow lights currently out, and they priced it at a level that’s pretty irresistible – just about half the price of the similar HLG 550 V2. Whether you’re considering a Spider Farmer grow light or another brand, it’s important to consider a couple of things about grow lights that’ll help you make the best decision. Please note that some LEDs like those on the current Mars Hydro FC and Spider Farmer SE grow lights are able to operate at very close distance to plants, such as 10 to 14 inches.Design: Improved patented design with an improved reflector angle that was increased from 90 to 120 degrees. For more information on proper hang height, read my full article about Grow Light Hang Heights. Light Spectrum Information: Spider Farmer mixes 3000K and 5000K, HLG uses only 4000K and calls it a day. We know plants grow under a wide range of spectrum temperatures, but there haven’t been any tests to distinguish between different temperatures yet. Keep Heat Outside Your Tent: As mentioned earlier the light is strong enough to flower 5×5 feet. You can see the impressive strength of this light in the image above, where it’s hanging at 22 inches above the canopy. True Wattage: The SF-1000 uses 100 watts from the outlet, despite the 1000 number in the name. Compared to other similar LED grow lights for 2×2 feet, this is a little bit lower. Other grow lights go up to 150 watts. The power efficiency is similar to other grow lights.

As I use the Mars Hydro TS 1000 to grow chilies I get about 5 inches about my seedlings and will be able to move further away as they grow. Just like the smaller sized TS 1000 and TSW 2000 models, the Mars Hydro TS 3000 sports a modern quantum board design. So what are you getting with this new design? Some more expensive grow lights like the Scynce Raging Kush have special optical lenses that allow you to hang the light close to the plant while maintaining strong light intensity. The bar design grow lights are also good at spreading light uniformly across the canopy. The grow light distance for cannabis seedlings will vary by grow light. The target PPFD (light intensity measured at the leaves) for seedlings is 200 to 250 micromoles. This is the Light I’ve been waiting for like my whole life, absolutely amazing. I’m used to growing the traditional way with Dutch Barn and 1000w HPS system, Marshydro TS1000 absolutely PISSES over the traditional way. Now I’m in the 2nd week of growing Autos, I can already tell that the growth and yield has Tripled.

The bar design spreads the light more evenly across the canopy compared to the more compact square design seen on grow lights like the SF series. Don’t get me wrong, the SF Series will perform great in your grow tent, the Spider Farmer SE Series are just another of many options available to home growers. The Mars Hydro spectrum leads to very nice quality buds. Of course light isn’t the only factor for yields, but if you hang the light right, and use it in the proper sized grow space, you should be seeing good results in no time! You need to figure out (roughly) how much light your plants are receiving, and compare that number to what they should be receiving.
