My Mars Hydro TS600 will be here today!

It will be going in a 2*2*4' tent for clones an seedlings. With spring approaching an my 4kw hps room getting towards completion, Ive been window shopping for awhile now on a larger cloning/seedling setup.

Came across a fantastic deal on a tent an knew it was time to pull the trigger on a Mars led light. Can't wait to see what the hype of LED is all about! I'll post some pics when it comes in

Good choice! I just had an amazing harvest, great yield and potency. :) It's also my first LED light but in contrast to you it's my main light for veg and flower. I also got discounts on tent and lamp, so the equipment has already paid for itself after less than 2 full runs. :good:

I did. My results were crappy, hence the good luck wishes. I use CFL's and they work better than any MarsHydro chinese crap.
What light light did you use and for what area? For both veg and flower? Never heard any complaints about LEDs for veg, which is what OP is doing.

Do you not like Mars Hydro in particular, or LEDs in general? Or is it just Mars' TS series that you don't like? The diodes in my mars hydro light were made in the US, BTW. but I have a different model

Sorry for all the questions, I just got a light myself and am looking forward to using it for the first time this weekend.

No doubt all my pics on the Free Your Budshots thread from the last 2 yrs are Mars goods, china or not the stuff ROCKS

The 2'*2'*4' tent an Mars LED is only for rooting clones and seedlings untill ready to go under MH. I have a veg room 8'x7' 2 600w Mh (right now it's my current flower room with 2 1kw HPS. Once my 4kw room is finished I'll swap to my 600w ballasts an mh bulbs).

Welcome buddy. :trampoline: ts600 is really a good light for 2x2. we have a dedicated clone light VG80 that has been online. Our FC-E8000 can replace 1000W HPS.

Got the TS600 for 70$ on a Amazon sale couldn't turn it down lol. I hung it up in my flower room for shits an giggles, it's very bright. I think the seedlings an clones will love it.

i've used hps,mh and cfls and tbh i've never had the growth or harvests that i get with led
i started off with a ts1000 then got an fce3000
my daughter recently started growing with a 2x2x6 tent and a ts600 and her plants are excellent looking
i cant vouch for any other led but i certainly cant fault mars hydro lights and theres a few growers on here would say the same
good luck @cfl...KING hope you reap the benefits of led

Thanks, I don't see swapping to led for flower any time soon. Going to start with just clones/seedlings, maybe a mother plant or 2 if there's room in the tent for now. Possibly in the future I'll replace the 2 600w mh lights for led. In the winter it would cost more to run led because I'd need to run space heaters. Summer time I can get away with dimming the hps to 600w with no ac needed.

Not gonna lie it makes me wanna get another setup an put 4 Zkittez clones in it an see what it can do. I could even run it in my bed room, I had a homemade carbon filter an 4" can fan collecting dust too .... Might just convince me to get 800w LEDs to replace my 1k hps for the summer🤔

This tent an light are definitely the perfect size for clones. Could fit 2 trays in it perfectly, will definitely serve it's purpose an put out as many clones as I could possibly need
