@NorthernCaliWay For Veg yes. For flowering it's more suited for a 3x6 imo

More even distribution of light intensity！Thank you my friend!

Hey marshydro. I just ordered your ts2000 today. Should I cancel and re order this light? Would like to know your thoughts on the lights if possible?

[@buddyholly5246]

Dude I love your channels! Subscribed to all of them. I watch your grow videos…A LOT!

[@tucker2074]

What be good is if you could also use a lux meter, just a cheap one off of amazon, I know lux isn't used as a measurement in plant lighting but running one alongside your meter would be helpful to people who can't obtain one and only have a lux meter

[@crakalakin81]

I’ve been studying on this light. Looks like ima try it out. Thanks for info.

I'm running my FC3000 at 285 watts with ambient temp 75degF and all my heatsink and driver temps are all like 20-30 degrees F higher than what you show... Did you have a fan blowing near it when you took these temperature measurements and what was your ambient temp?

Do you think these light runs hot for temps?

Could it fit in 2x2?

[@fabiopapalia]

i wanted to buy one FC300 by MarsHydro one month ago, but it wasn't sold in Europe yet in that moment. I took 2 SP3000, instead, still from MarsHydro. I'm happy with those two now. My grow room is a 4x3, i'm pretty fine with theese two. Love your par tests.

would love to put one of those in my 32 inch by 32 inch tent .. was going to put 2 of the little think there sp150s in there ,, food for thought ..

[@beaubridgeman5522]

Way better off with 2 150's. If a plant or 2 is taller you can adjust better, and the light spread would be better.

[@ivorgreenplant]

@@beaubridgeman5522 mars have offered me one of the 150s for my channel .. and i was going to buy one so i could have a little home made light bar in the big tent or 1 in the 20 inch x 36 inch tent and put the spider farmer sf200 in the 32 x 32 ... got a fan light in the 32 x 32 and the noise is just not on after you have used quantum boards ..

[@littlenugs9942]

Ty for this video. I own this light and didn't really know it's true par out put. Just entered flower 2 weeks ago so I need to lower the light seeing I had it raised to the top of a 3*3 tent on 75 percent. Not enough par from that distance. You saved my grow.

[@49erlewis]

What are the dimensions of this light will it fit a 2 x 2?

[@littlenugs9942]

@@49erlewis no - unfortunately not. It's great light for a 3*3 flower nd a 4*4 veg. I believe the dimensions 27"- 28" x 27"-28". And it would be way to much light for a 2*2 tent. There ts 2000 is a real nice budget light if your looking at mars hydro. Check Aglex 2000 k series. It's similar to the ts 2000 but I think might be even better. Good luck!

[@stephennorton3032]

So......FC3000 or SP3000. Which in your opinion is best?

[@ch00chNy]

SP the light comes from a single light bar.... the FC comes from 4 bars and would make for a much even spread in a tent

[@kyler0933]

Sp3000 far superior

[@greensens2725]

@@kyler0933 How come? They both look like they have same components and design principles, but the FC shape makes it more suitable for a square 3x3 room, whereas the Sp3000 would suit 2x4 no? I'm trying to decide between one of these, or 2 x sp150s for my 3x3 flower room.

[@ch00chNy]

@@greensens2725 fc4800 for the win

[@marcelbregman4454]

If you put a bigger size FC lamp in this tent , wouldn't be better luminated at the edge ? Specialy with such a nice led layout it wouldn't change the center but it would bring more light to the edge. I don't know the sizes of the model and watts yet it's just a guess, they look good anyway. It looks like you can cover your bed completely or even go around the edge by bending the armature.

[@diamondsky3530]

If you can man I’d love to see a fc4800 as I’m thinking about getting a cpl for a new 10x8 room

Seems to be really intense in the center. Would be nice if it were spread out a little more. But really nice light from Mars.

It’s because the light is too small for the space. But in a smaller tent

[@digitald5851]

At 18 in dead center you measure around 900 ppfd and Mars publishes 1400 ppfd on their map. Any idea why the discrepancy?

[@toscompliance]

Because Mars Hydro inflates their numbers. Several companies inflate their numbers that's one reason why these PAR tests are so helpful; we can see which companies are lying to their customers and which ones are telling the truth.

[@GardenTalkwithMrGrowIt]

The PAR meter I use measures from 340nm-1040nm only. Maybe they used a meter that extended beyond that range? Not sure.

[@digitald5851]

@@toscompliance indeed PCE (par count enforcer)

[@digitald5851]

@Mars Hydro Factory I see the updated PPFD charts on the website. Was this measured in a sphere? In house or third party? The perimeter measurements on your chart show 700 PPFD and the video shows around 270 PPFD. I would expect those numbers to be higher than 700 as he is testing in a tent, not a sphere. Thanks for being here to represent Mars Hydro. I've been looking at FC4800 after watching Bill Ward

I have a 2x4 tent going right now and going to upgrade to a 4x4 at some point. I was going to choose between the mars hydro sp3000 and spiderfarmer 2000.. and then this came out. Would this be too big for a 2x4? I'm not sure what to go with now. Any input would be great. 👍

[@ch00chNy]

4x4 tent with a fc4800 would be a great setup

[@ch00chNy]

@Donnie's Med Grow more diode’s does not matter In my opinion because it’s covering a small area being it’s coming from a single source. I guess it would ultimately have to do with what kind of coverage you would need and how big the area you’re growing in. I have an SP250 I’m not gonna go out and buy another SP 250 or an SP 3000. I’m just going to get the FC3000 or 4800 or maybe 2FC 4800s to fit a 4x8 tent. The 250/3000 is perfect for a 2x4 tent plain and simple

[@alexyello5208]

I know it would be a considerable amount of work but it would be awesome and super helpful if the measurements were recorded and documented on a "score board". Kinda like the top gear score board with the fastest lap around the track

[@GardenTalkwithMrGrowIt]

Thanks for the suggestion but I stopped testing grow lights over 2 years ago.

[@mastercc4509]

Think about adding a mini review at the end man with a dollar per watt.

Being such a large influencer, you should really look at getting and doing measurements in recommended tent sizes e.g. 2 x 2, 3 x 3 etc? It doesn't take that long to set up/pull down a tent.

[@trevorhinkle]

Hate to say anything negative about people's choices on lights, especially when they get them for free to plug the product. I have the mars hydro light you reviewed. Needless to say, it is sitting back in the box it came in. They are junk. I upgraded to Spider Farmer SF-4000's. My yields are at 4 to 5g's per watt. Better light penetration and a huge difference in par values even at the far edges. Commercial lights are worth the price difference between a cheap light manufacturer like Mars. Spider Farmer lighting systems are by far the best..

[@georgeorwell3532]

Sf 4000 or lumatek pro zeus

[@trevorhinkle]

@@georgeorwell3532 I'd definitely go with the Spider Farmer sf-4000 for a 5x5 or a sf-2000 for a 4x3. Full spectrum I including infrared. I am getting any where from 3 to 4 g pre watt. I tried Zeus and the power from the wall was more and too hot for me. Sold it to a friend. 1 month later he purchased the sf-4000 and sold the light to someone else. But by all means go with what you feel would work out for you. Peace..

@@kyler0933 Well I have to admit you were correct, I did not get in the 4-5 g range on weight of the pre cured dry weight. However, I did get 3.8/g. If you want me to give you the math.
