Just received, and set up 2, Mars 300

[Fuggzy]

Hi guys, I just wanted to stop in and do a lil' unboxing/showing. I ordered my lights off the E'bs and got the 2 for $137 deal. The order was placed on 5/26/16, and I received it today on 6/3/16. It would have been here sooner if it where not for the holiday. The packages where packaged pretty well, and snug. I liked how the even used the cardboard shims to take out the last bit of slack in the packaging. I have to admit, the packaging was much more secure than I expected. As described there was 1 LED panel, 1 power cord, and 1 light hanger per box. The boxes where also discreet with only shipping labels, and fragile stickers. All the diodes work, and the fan is running, near silently at that. The light is not even audible over my vent fans.



So for the current setup, they will be ran with a 600w hps. I am using a 4x4 tens, and in total the Mars puts me at ~880 watts. I still have to do some working the tent, but this is going to be the basic setup...

Looking good Fuggzy, hope your plants will also love the light and grow happy under them. If you have any question or needs, just feel free to contact us. Cheers! and happy weekend

Those look real nice.... I've been interested in those lights as maybe added light for my greenhouse.

To be honest at the price point of this model, you can't beat it. It worked out to $0.73/watt. The shipping time was decent considering the holiday, and they are rather light so it's easy to hang. I'll add an update pic in the morning, and see if there any great responses.

Good luck with them! I bought 2 about a month apart. I wanted to make sure I liked it I guess, lol. I haven't harvested any bud with them yet, but I'm close. All that light is going to rock those girls world!

Thats awesome man, how do you like them so far? I have had a positive result in about 12 hours. The ladies are praying. I did move the whole fixture up some, and raised a few pots to even it out. The blue Kush auto in the back was pointing way up. There was already damage on the Blue Kush (taller plant), and it is not related to the light... The shorter plant is a Bubba Kush auto by Dina.

I did replace 2 of the cables on each light with plastic coated cables. I have the back of the light hooked around my duct, and the bare cable was a bit rough. Other than that it is doing pretty good so far. The front cables are hooked to the hps hangers, so they raise together, then I just angle them with the back cables/hangers.

This is the Bubba... Dramatic improvement over night, well our night, it's been lights on the entire time.

Looking great man! The only neg. thing I've noticed is compared to running one as opposed to running 2 is that my babies seemed to like it better when I was using just one, along with 2 43 watt clf's. The cfl's were hung on a y splitter about 12 inches over top and I had larger leaves and really good growth, (I'll post a couple pics to show what I mean). Since I've added a 2nd light and removed cfl's, it don't seem like my new seedlings are growing as well. Then again, I didn't try raising or lowering to see if there was any change.

This is the way I had it set up before buying the 2nd light.

This pic was taken after I added 2nd Mars led. See the 3 plants in the white grow bags? They were started March 11 under the cfl's.

Same plants 2 days ago and the 2nd day they have been outside. Also, I checked yesterday, and all were on there 6th node, (the best growth I've had in 3 weeks or less). Oh yeah, it's 3 different strains too!

Not really, my temp fluctuation went up by MAYBE 1 degree, but they don't touch the 600w really.

Word homie. I have been fighting my 600hps all summer. It's a dimmable from 400-1000 but I figured it might be better to grab to leds rather then turn it up to 1000 for flowering. Got 9 under the 600 now just for veg
