Don't skimp on LED's... The current LED tech is already questionable...

I have grow goin now with a 600 watt marshydro reflector series and I must say it rocks in veg. It will easily cover a 3x3 area but I would go with the 120o watt. Check out my tread.

Peace NagnumGauge!
Thats more then impressive in a 3x3 set up. Excellent grow my friend!. Im in the middle of setting up a 3.5' x 3.5' x 7' DIY stealth locker using the same Mars Hydro ll 1200w (replacing 600w hps) as my flowering light and 315w cmh for veg. Ill be runnin the HHT (HygroHybridTheory) DWC method in a 10gl resevoir and monstercropping for a SCROG. Im aiming for 448g + per yeild but dont know what to expect having never used led b4. Reading your post gave me some hope!! Im curious to what your method is and what strain gave such a heavy yeild? Also if youve had any experience with scrogging different strains and if so what strains did the best with what methods?

Thanks in advance!

Peace L.R.

Sad truth is 550 watts unit what are they 5 watt or 6 watt diodes ?? meaning even less efficiency he got 860 dry grams ??? do the GPW then look that the other grow journals and what they got in 3 x 3

Fuck Mars and other cheap Chinese crap lights. Get yourself a 315W CMH and call it a day.

And that's an advice comming from a LED user!

Peace Toaster79, I apreciate the input. Im stuk on the fence wit this mars led man. Too many mixed posts online 50/50 good n bad. I dont anybody directly that use them and never seen em in action. Its hard ta tell if the ppl biggin them up online are just sales reps... (most likely) Ive decided to run the 315 cmh start ta finish and see how it turns. Im yet to hear anything negative on them and if it produces like a 600 hps Im happy. Ill make a desicion for the led or a higher watt de hps after a few yeilds wit the 315.

Im aiming to get started first week of August. If everything goes ta plan Ill start a new thread n post some pics.

Thanks again for the advice.
Curious to what led your currently using and what system your running wit?

Peace
L.R.

Well I'll tell you don't do it it has a 15 month lifespan lol I mean that's how long before problems start. I hope you're good with repairs because you'll be fixing it yourself. I'd look into making your own like me. I just finished a 500w panel that pulls 609w from the wall. it's 20"x36"

@Toaster79 how hot does the 315 get? And for any one else that wants to answer around how hot do the 600s get cause I run a 400 watt hps and it's just getting to be too much of a headache in my small space. Gets up to 90. With a a/c going in room and fans in tent

I run a 400w in a 2x2x5 space. Works great :).
Since it is summer now I'm considering running the mh all through flower since it runs cooler.
