Mars won’t do SHIT about it either and that’s after spending thousands. 😂

After watching this video, I went to Ebay and seen the new Mars Hydro FC-8000 on there and the going bid was for $487.00. I bid on it and someone out bidded me. I placed another bid for $504.00 and it ended at 10:23PM and I won it for $504.00!!!! I got it and put it all together. I'm disabled and paralyzed on one side of my body with a brain injury and putting it together was easy for me. Thanks for this video because without you making it, I would have never bought the MH FC-8000!

With shrinking my grow from 7-8, 1khps lights, into a 10x10 tent wanting to run only2 lights (going strictly personal) I think I’m about sold on the MG EZ8. It’s not the best, nor worst but for overall cost to bring in 2 of them. That’s a big choice and overall better in my opinion. This has been an amazing series you have started Doc. I’m glad I started knowing you guys when site was just taking off!!!! Always doing amazing work!

with the price of electricity set to double in next year or so , having an efficient light is very important for the home grower as well as comercial growers too. really well made video & a ton of info thanks . All i will add is I have a 5x5 & on my first ever grow I achieved over 20 oz with 2 vipaspectra P2000's (400 watts) so you can achieve great results with a lot less bucks not only in original outlay but in running costs too . I do feel we all being bombarded on youtube by sponsored channels who are telling us we need bigger & bigger lights just because they earn comission for themselves & to sell more products for the light manufacturer unnecessarily...

I certainly agree that you should use light efficiently! It is the most expensive part of being an indoor gardener in several ways. The P-series are pretty efficient QBs.

Love your channel and a heartfelt thanks for all the help you give to hobby growers! What about light spectrum? Meaning the quality, range of light spectrum and penetration. Isn't this important as well? I think people get too caught up on canopy top light and not realize that light is also needed for the nugs beneath the canopy. I'm not a botanist or horticulturist. Just using common sense which seems to be a dying trait in today's times. I realize that duplicating natural sunlight is very difficult and may only be achieved at great cost inefficiency. The sun doesn't just shut off certain spectrums for plant growth. Is it possible that you run tests with the factors above in mind? I have several requests for the benefit of the community: 1) Compare the quality and range of light spectrum of various lights for a 4 x 4 and 5 x 5. I believe these are the sizes that most people will use. 2) Could you also test Timber Grow Lights, Electric Sky and any other light manufacturers that you think are worthy as well in these tests. 3) Could you test different grow tents for the community? I am unaffiliated with any company. I am only interested in growing the best quality nugs for my money. Thanks again.

Truly amazing information. Can you do an updated test for Marshydro FC6500? They have a more recent version that mimics the FC8000 Diode spacing. It uses 3 rows of diodes instead of just 2 and also condenses the diodes at the sides, while spacing them out in the center. This might just move the 6500 above the 8000.

I was looking for a light and wanted to get the Mars Hydro FC-6500 with the Samsung diodes for long life, but I accidentally purchased the FC-E6500, so I came back to this video to check out the views, and you actually put the FC-E6500 over the FC-6500 in more ways than a few even though it has the better diodes. My light hasn't gotten here yet, but I'll be like a six-year-old on Xmas morning when it does. I have the Mars Hydro 2000 right now, but I just got a 5 x 5 real cheap and need something bigger and better. Compared to what I have now, this will be like bringing the sun into the tent.

@@amygomez6926 I use the Photontek 1000's.. I can surely tell you that well.. you can use it without co2... but if you arent using co2, then why spend that much? (Do you plan to introduce co2 at some near point? if so, then try it) if you dont want to get into the co2 region, then theres tons of other lights out there... luxx, gavita, hlg, spectre led, mammoth .. and then even the more budget friendly Mars Hydros.. too many options to list.. youve gotta just lay your eyes on one, and go for it.. if not, youll go crazy trying to choose out of the thousands of already good leds that are out there.. trust me... ive been there

Update after 5 months of owning and using the Mars Hydro FC-8000. This light replaced a KIND K5 XL 1000 and has far surpassed it in every conceivable way. The proof is in the pudding as they say. Wrapping up the first run using the Mars and I want 7 more of them to stuff a Gorilla 10'x20' grow tent.

I'm still liking the medic grow. 1 is the cost but the spectrum x medic grow on website says it can do a 5x5 space as well on sale it can be purchased for $717 with ur code. Like to see this compared to this list. And the medic grow smart 8 not on this list. Same or close to the fold 8. I'm stuck on the medic grow due to there price.

I know that this is a 2 year old video, but I am in Thailand, and if it isn't made here or China, it takes it a while to get here. The Lumatek Zeus 1000w xtreme ppfd co2 just arrived here. Been watching your videos on its European brother. Hell of a light. Here's where I need some help. Given the choice between the Lumatek Zeus, and the Marshydro FC-8000 evo, which one would you recommend? As there, the Lumatek is about $500.00 more expensive.

I would think the FC-E8000 would end up very high on this list the way it is weighted. The other light that would have been nice to see would be a pair of Grow 300 lights from Grow Light Science. I think it would be near the top also.

Most of those on the list is at least Chinese company, although not sure where the lights are made from, could be assembled in the U.S Growers Choice is the only one i am familliar that is a U.S base, Photontek and Medicgrow i am not that familliar with. I used the HLG Scorpion diablo which is also a U.S based and is definitely the best one ive tried

bigpapa 1 second ago You really should’ve included the mars Hydro FCE 8000 in addition to just the FC 8000. I think model would’ve topped your list as far as cost and overall! also why don’t you have the Volt FL - 1? You should definitely test that as I have heard great things
