Hello fellow Auto enthusiasts, would like some advice as to weather the mars hydro led light I've purchased is enough to illuminate a Secretjarden DS 90, im growing 3 plants in 11ltr pots, actual draw of the light is 272 watts + 5% I believe , I've stuck a couple of Mephisto beans in, auto blues and ripleys og along with a sweet seeds crème caramel, any advice is greatly appreciated , thanks in advance, Peace HC :smoking:
 
Thank you for the reply Chester matey:pass:, when you have grown with hps for 20+years,switching to led is quite scary:shrug:,it's like I've had to go back to school to learn!!! Gotta say tho im loving the Mars hydro 600, my tent is so cool, no more hot temps!!
 
You will be fine with 3 plants under that light 3 to 4 plants in that light.
 
Are these looking ok, Mephisto Auto Blues at 7 days, Mephisto Ripleys OG at 14 days and Sweet Seeds Crème Caramel at 14 days also, last grow I did was photo period so cant remember if these are on track or not for auto's.

I'm growing 12 plants on one so I think you'll be fine. I ran 12 photos with 1 600w mars hydro and a 600w hps it's fine. If the light is on the leaf it's fine.
 
Gram per watt I doubt I'll get 300grams off the 12 plants if I do, I do if I don't I don't. C'est la vie I'm more of a passive grower. I try not to let it consume my life. I use 10-10-10 some molasses and cal mag nothing fancy. They grow just the same.
 
Thanks Swizzlestix, you have put my mind at rest, this whole grow this time is a experiment for me, i will try and do a grow diary:cooldance:, love the safety aspect of these lights, and once again thank you. Peace HC:pass:
 
I added a cfl but this is how I do it.

Thanks for your reply swizzle, looks great in there:vibe:, might have to look at either a Mars 300 or some sort of cfl lighting set up to complement the 600
