Need some advice on lights

**Tapper82** · 04-02-21, 07:58 PM

I have a 2 x 1.2 x 2 meter (L x W x H) grow tent. Im looking to buy l.e.d lights. Would 2 x mars hydro ts 1000 be enough for 8 plants in this space or would i have to get the ts 2000 model? Thanks

The best thing about Mars is their online presence...which should tell you all you need to know - they're all mouth and no trousers.

Get on an HLG LED if you've decided to go down that route.

2 x TS1000 not going to be enough. Get the 2 x TS2000 for that amount of space

8 plants is far to many in that space mate!!!!
My tent is 1.2 by 1.2 by 2 and even with just 4 plants in there it gets real tight!! With any more in that size tent you are upping the risk of bud rot towards the end of grow. You know what they say little is more.

I would definately get the HLG R spec over the mars hydro if you can afford it though so much better quality.. I really wanted their 300w version but out my price range unfortunately atm.
The offer in Easy T post is pretty sweet too. That 600w will light that tent up sir.

The best thing about Mars is that they are no longer sponsors here!

HLG 550Rspec will cover that area pretty good. I have a 1.2x1.2x2m and I get full coverage from my HLG

Or go manly and stick in 2x 600w HPS, still the King imo...

I got 2 x 600w hps in there now but really struggling with temps too high.
