I have a Mars Hydro and it will grow plants, but when I upgraded to an HLG I definitely saw a major difference. Considering the time it takes to grow and harvest, seems like a small investment and get the best lights you can afford to get the most and best quality out of your grow you can

Not only that but you don't want to kick yourself in the butt a couple months from now wishing you would have gone bigger

Bump …. Curious who else has used ts600 alone with results ? And if you have then used the ts1000 or has most everyone that has started with the ts600 just gotten something like a spider farmer sf1000 or something else ? Mars hydro is middle of the road or nah ?

Such as ? For a 2x2 of course..without assuming the tent went bigger already , it did , you know it did but for the sake of the original question it’s a 2x2x4 ….

Hi,

Did you get any answers from your light question.? Kinda in same boat.
Both good lights. Mh and sf
I've ran ts600w for 4 grows now vegs fine, but always got looser buds than I wanted. Compulsively bought sf 1000 last week on new auto grow at moment.

What was the feedback you got back as wondering if even made the right choice on the sf1000 to be used alone or add in a extra ts 600 on flowering??

Many thanks

I have been recruited to test a new Viparspectra XS1500 Pro. It's a new 2x2 light you might consider. Mars & Spiderfarmer are middle of the road, certainly not Fluence, HLG,Chilled or GML, but much cheaper. Look for service & quality of build as well as specs. My 2 cents worth,Cheers SS

You can daisy chain the SF1000 if yours has a dimmer, I accidentally bought a SF1000D after my purchase of an SF1000. Take your time and do it right. SS

Hello first time long time: Dave’s the name I grew 6 autos in 2’x3’x60” tent TS1000 I got 12 quarts and my photo period I grew next 2 quarts. This grow is with Fox Farm soils in 3 gallon fabrics and my Super Soil I made 5 total this run, the 2 Jack Herer’s are super perfect the rest are a week behind and perfect looking at 3 quarts each. It’s all about minimal nutrients water every 4 days now 2 liters each and 12” from top of plant material with light. I monitor PPM’s and PH in soil and fluids. I’ll get another TS 1000 if the buds don’t get as big as I see in pictures here I recommending Diatomaceous earth for bugs kills em dead
