Il do that with the next set,, I have no idea why ic seems to flip some photos and not others,, im sure they are not being took in funny ways,, il figure it out at some point,,il get round it one way or another



Anyway,,
I got the light up!!! immediately put 4 mothers under it to check there responses to it,, il know in a few days what reaction it has on mothers,, at first glance it seems like it can be used throughout the plants life veg and flowers,, cuttings and seeds,, im sure a new grower would have fantastic results using this as a stand alone light,, I will be using side lighting to adjust the spectrum throughout the various groth stages,, but I believe a novice should just use this light from start to finish,, ,, I believe this light will be good to use throughout but I will need to add some extra far red and blue, not to mention a purple to get things a lil more dialed in,, obviously this light is perfect for a beginner start to finish and will perform fantastically,, but since this ain't my first dance,,

il be using extra lighting,, this is just to swing the ambiance in a preferred direction,,,, I am a huge fan of hard blue in veg, far red and 10k finishing spectrums,, but for some people this extra mile is just unnecessary,,

I also like to drop temps at the end and bring ec down in the last 3 weeks to induce last min brake outs any extra potential stacking,,

Thanks for the share! :huggg:The light is designed for seedling to harvest. The wattage can be adjusted through the dimmer. Cannot wait to see what will happen for the monthers next update.

Things have been moving rather quickly under this mars light ,,, im so impressed I put another pot under it,,

the veg speed is on par with a 600w mh,,this is a big thumbs up from me as I basically wouldn't even bother if it couldn't do the veg speed of a 600mh bulb


for veg I can honestly say this is the best light I have,, and I own a fair few now

2x 300w clf bulbs don't cut it in comparison to the mars for veg speed ,,, a 600w mh bulb would be unusable in this space i have as the restricted hight is 600 killer,,but honestly if I could turn on a 600w mh would I bother? ,, probably not,,

thats a big deal for me,,

all I need now is a lil bit more coverage to fill the tent

I think the spectrum is not overly harsh and rather forgiving in comparison to a purple looking led board
