    Replacing 600w HPS with LED

    Well, for thread closure, my above crop on this new Mars Light setup pulled in 19oz White Widow. On my 600HPS best I ever pulled was 15 oz ish. Last one, above, was 19 oz. Today, final crop for a while (packing it in for the forseable), I pulled... 24oz - N13 Kush! Christ the light paid for...

    Replacing 600w HPS with LED

    Yeah - that was lighting 4x6 space, with two plants out of the race as they were stunted due to a failed older mars LED. Going to be very interesting to see how it goes with all 6 plants in full godo health :-) The Mars was of course pricey, but I wanted instant guaranteed results, I asked for...

    Replacing 600w HPS with LED

    Well well! I've just weighed up. Typical yields for me are anywhere from 11.5 to 15oz. I juist pulled 20.7oz dry bud :-) Lamp paid for itself on the 1st use!

    Mars SP3000 Driver too hot to touch !!!

    I've switched from blurples to the FC-E6500 and the driver is outside the tent. It's very hot to touch, but I'm not concerned. It has a 5 year warranty.... The results, are staggering. I'm still in disbelief. I've yet to weigh up. Just finished harvesting today, but I had at least 12 buds the...

    Replacing 600w HPS with LED

    Little update. Harvesting. Day 2 so far. (I do a few hours each evening). Holy fucking shit! I've grown big buds, but not like this! And, they matured in 7 weeks from flip. Same seeds, 10 weeks under HPS. I noticed this before even under blurples. Won't know the final weight for a godo two...

    Replacing 600w HPS with LED

    My plants are very happy indeed. What I love most about the thing is the wide spread. It's covering 4x6 very easily. with active growth right to the edges.

    Replacing 600w HPS with LED

    I'd love to but it would seriously impede into the room the tent is in. I'll live with it with a chiller for now. What you say makes perfect sense of course. Now just hovering over teh buy button on the Mars FC-E6500 at £595........

    Replacing 600w HPS with LED

    I've got a chiller which sits outside the tent and has to do very littel work to keep it at 20c. It's a RWDC kit and I cna't be arsed to extend the pipes, and , lose space in the rest of the room! :-)

    Replacing 600w HPS with LED

    Oh I don't use all of teh 4x8. I use it more like a 4x4, and sometimes a 4x6. I use an RWDC system that 4 pots fills the 4x4 perfectly and there are 2 more pots that sit just inside the other half of the tent, with the res, further in again. Means I have good space in the "mostly unused" 4x4...

    Replacing 600w HPS with LED

    Budget - I'm easy (don't mind spending within reason) Environment - 4x8 indoors, UK temps. RDWC Have to say, I've looked at the Mars FC-E6500 and it's ticking the boxes well. PJ - sorry your attention span can't last a short, well paragraphed, detailed question. The details are important. My...
