    Default Mars Hydro TS 1000

    Is this light substantial for a 1m2 grow tent with 3/4 plants? After a tiny bit of research it seems it’ll be ok for veg, but will it be powerful enough for flower?

    If anybody has experience with this light any feedback/reviews would be great

    Thanks

    I did a grow with that light in a 3x3: https://www.thctalk.com/cannabis-for...idow-Fem-Photo

    It was definitely the bottleneck. I went to the TS2000 for my current grow in the same 3x3 tent. It's a much better match.

    Possible, yes. Recommended, no.

    That light is perfect for my 2x2. 1 or 2 plants in there under 150watts? Sure, doing it now.

    I got 1.34gpw with the TS1000 on my first grow. 7 ounces of bud with 2 ounces of trim for processing.

    YMMV.

    Cheers,
    B

    If OP doesn't mind me jumping in, I'm used to a 600w HPS..

    01/ How would the TS2000 run in a 2.1 x 1.2 x 1.2 tent doing 4-5 plants at a time? I keep plants around a meter square when flowering.
    02/ How hot does it get in the tent as my 600HPS runs about 27c
    03/ Can I assume as the TS2000 is 300watt then half the electric to run the 600 HPS?

    Finally, best place to source one. Amazing / fleabay or marshydro UK site?

    Any help, cheers in advance

    1 - That's a big tent. You'd probably want 2 TS2000s for that space.
    2 - I take the drivers off and mount them outside of the tent. Don't notice any heat at all. I'll probably have to add at least one driver back onto the light for winter time as it's becoming too cold in there.
    3 - Correct
    4 - I got mine from Amazon so if there was anything wrong with the light when I received it, I could deal with Amazon's customer service rather than Mars'.

    I've only used Mars Hydro lights thus far. I can't speak to how they compare to other lights. I've been using them to some pretty decent success. Never had to deal with their customer service.

    Cheers,
    B
