Whats the yield from the mars?

Yes. You want in the 600w range. You want to play in the 700 par range during photosynthesis during flower.

Now to determine the spectrum your giving the plant is important too.

Whats the yield from the mars?

Roughly 3-4 ounces a plant some close to 4 some close to 3. Veg times about 6-8 weeks.

Just completed my second grow and looking to replace the cheaper equipment with better.

Only 1 plant?

Per plant. I run 4 at a time.

i think with the right light and strain you could double that.

Definitely need to upgrade to something as I want to move the LS 3000 to my veg tent if this seems like an upgrade.

Noted. I’m still learning and experimenting with how to trim and what buds to trim off. I feel like I will make the move then move the LS 3000 into my veg tent for the time being.

 

[Zunk99]

Or any other lights for a 4x4 you’d recommend ?

I’m running the Scorpion version of that light. I like it a lot. I’m adding a UVA bar as an upgrade to it.

If you don’t have a meter then watch the plants for signs of light stress. You can download a light meter app to a phone.
