Hey, your code MIGRO does not work anymore

[@soistesgewesen]

hey thanks for your videos !! . I received the new MS TS 1000 today and noticed that 2 red LEDs are just glowing. All other LEDs light up great and can also be dimmed... but with 2 red LEDs nothing happens... They glow a little bit ,.. but do not get brighter ... Are they IR Led or are they defective? I haven't received an answer from MarsHydro yet ... I would be very happy if someone would answer this for me :) Greetings from Germany :)

[@F4Insight-uq6nt]

8:04 So is that space there you are using to test the output the same size space you recommend for this light? If not then your test proves nothing as you are gaining from light reflection in that small test space.. You can fool some of the people some of the time.

[@TheGmen20001]

I have a ts1000 for about two and a half years.. never had a problem but recently my driver started flashing and then it would just turn on out of the blue sometimes and turn off out of the blue sometimes depends the situation.. so they replaced my driver with a new a new one that has a dimmer switches and stuff all I had to do was pay for shipping which was $20 so I think that's pretty cool almost 3 years later they honor their warranty....

[@MarsHydro_official]

Thanks Shane! Very detailed review. We hope that every small change will lead to a better experience for growers!

[@JEBUS10069]

I'm sure you paid a pretty penny to get a 10minute review 🤣

[@HigzyTeflon]

@@JEBUS10069 Yeah, it's marketing done right. Well presented and worth that "pretty penny," imo. See the affiliate links in the description? Purchase a light through his link and he gets a kickback from the sale. It's probably not all that much. In the broader picture, it's a mutually beneficial deal. For instance, I liked this review enough to know that I justified placing this grow light on my Wish List at Amazon but if I can get just as good a deal or better through his link I will be glad to pay it forward for a well-done review.

My favorite feature from MH lights is removing the driver to place it outside of the tent. Literally saves my temps from going too high since the only heat is coming from the light itself.

[@yuriabraao3171]

you should try migrolight aray 4 from Shane, 3 meters cable and driver where you want (Y)

[@twentytwo138]

I hate the Mars driver and cable management! I had a Mars TS2000 and the cables were so short i couldn't place the driver outside. It only has 1.5 or 2 meters cable length in total, but from the driver to the fixture is maybe 50cm only. In a tent 180cm high it's impossible to do it properly. And the 2 smaller cables that go from each side into the light fixture were also short and tight, i couldn't lower the light fixture less than half the tent. I spent hours trying to place the driver outside somehow but it was a pain in the a*s and i gave up. Just get a Migro with a 3 meter cable, it has 1.5 meters of cable from each side of the driver so you can place it anywhere. And he also sells extension cords. With Migro you can place the driver in your neighbor's house and you'd still have freedom to move the fixture and extra cable.

[@chrisweatherley9587]

dont put it too far away or you'll get a voltage drop.

[@megaflux7144]

i went in to this thinking "what minor upgrade will they have made in a feeble attempt to make me replace the ones i have?" but when i saw the white coating AND the power cord plugging in to the top instead of the side (one of my pet peeves is how that side plug always made it almost impossible to have it hang perfectly straight) in addition to all the onboard upgrades.. color me sold.

[@timpage5021]

LG is the parent company of Mars which is in a even larger parent company Shenzhen lighting corp.Which is like the size of a city. One of the largest corporations in the world. One of the main reasons why so many people think Mars makes Spider Farmer is for this reason. They’re in the same corporation but different divisions. Exactly like how Taco Bell and Kentucky Fried Chicken are different companies but owned by same parent company with Pepsi YUM! Corporation.,

[@PinewoodFarms11]

I wonder what would be better 2 ts1000s or 1 fc3000......Both equal 300 watts and about the same price.

[@EastsideLegend1]

What is better, viparspectra p1000 or this light and why?

[@OG_VeniVidiVici]

150w isn’t a lot of power for a 2x2, that’s like running 600w in a 4x4 which was like standard back in the day. 700 average par is about the best any budget light has done, *especially* at that hanging height. One thing a lot of companies miss the mark on is penetration, and so hitting those numbers at a decent distance is really just great.

[@nicklohry9284]

Well, considering the standard 2by2 light these days is a 100watt quantum board I would have to say 150watts certainly "IS" a nice chunk of power for a 2by2. Sure, there are people shoving FC-3000s inside of a 2by2 and killing it lol! But, it's NOT the standard. And a light that size is certainly NOT made for a space that small. So as far as a "Standard" 2by2 light goes, I would say this light is absolutely packing punch for a 2by2. And YES I do personally own a TS-1000. It's the baking tin model, but pretty much the same thing only the new one runs a Mars driver instead of a Moso driver. And the reflector is White instead of aluminum/silver. It is absolutely a GREAT entry level light for someone growing in a 2by2 or a 2.5by2.5 is even GREAT. I know because my flowering space is a 2ftby2.5ft and it's does great. Would certainly recommend this light for new grower's. Like I say typical 1000 model lights for MOST companies are only 100watt boards where as the TS-1000 is a 150watt board. I also bout a 150watt Gro planner quantum board. However, that board was a pain and I sold it without ever even using it lol. Because of the fact that you had to have Wifi to be able to control anything to do with the light. Then shortly after I bout mine they made a new version where they skipped all the bullshit and just made it a simple external dimmer control and what not.

[@MikeParentLeap]

Great information as usual. TY

[@gianfelicespagnagatti3317]

Hi Shane thanks for your videos. I have the 2022 model of the MarsHydro ts1000 you could try to do the test at a height of 30 centimeters or 12 inches which in my opinion is more correct as a height. Thank you

Just what I needed! Thank you, sir!

[@acasone8394]

Which îs the maximum high for the plants ????

[@davidjayc]

I have 2 ts 1000s one is the older model and this new one your showing here. They are both running next to each other in my grow space (closet). I'm growing 2 plants 1 under each of the same strain. It seems the older model reflector more concentrates the light more towards the middle of the light as the new reflector is shorter in depth and allows light to escape out the sides more then the other. And also I couldn't figure out how to daisy chain the 2 together as the drivers are different. So far I'm happy with my results but not happy with the fact I can't tie them together.

[@punkabone]

what size is your grow space if i may ask? Im waiting for my mars hydro ts-1000 and 70x70x160 grow tent to arrive. I have my old TS-1000 and im wondering if i can fit them both into this tent.

[@donnaikin7397]

Hi Shane, i have a Question for you please, What type of lights would work best in an area of 8mtrs x 5mtrs. I have a room the above size and want to hang some grow lights for my plants. 8x5 mtrs is the total room size, I'm looking to have an area of approx 6mtrs long by 2mtrs wide. I would prefer to hang the lights from the roof rather than having a few standing lights. Is there lights that would suit my purpose? Thank you.

[@menasouvlaki3595]

Mate, basically it's a 4 X 3 but twice. So get 2 X a light that'll suit a 4x3. Probably two lights

[@MIGROLIGHT]

Your area is 6 x 2 = 12m2. If you are growing photos for an average PAR of 900µmols you need 330 watts per Sqm of high efficiency LEDs. Total required would be 330 x 12 = 3,960 watts of high efficiency LEDs. Select a light which you can subdivide your space into, for example 1m x 1m x 12 lights to fill the space. thanks , Shane

[@gregkramer5588]

That is a big area no doubt. Of course Shane gets right to the point. How you choose to subdivide the area is a big part of it. There are not really individual lights that can cover a 2 meter square are so you will need more than 3 lights. For a 12 light solution where each one would cover 1m square a low cost light might be the PHLIZON Pro-series PH-X6. It is 360w which is about the right power for a square meter and the lights in the US are $279. Another alternative that is higher end would be an array of the Grow Light Science Grow 320 or Grow 300. (Migro carries these) It would also be a 4x3 array since they are a long and narrow light so instead of a 2x6, Three wide the narrow way and 4 long the long way to cover 6m length. (they are ~ 1.2 meters long).

[@danlawson3782]

My Mars Hydro LED light started flickering due to wires in the main wire harness connector burning. The connector was very hot to the touch. After sending a lot of pictures and info to Mar Hydro (Janice), they stopped communicating. I am afraid to use it because I don't want to burn my house down! Where there customer support and warranty?

[@manthony808]

Hi I have this light in a 70x70, is it worth upgrading to an Aray 3?

My TSL-2000 started having serious problems not THREE MONTHS into use. Half of the board would start flickering or not turn on. Hounded Mars Hydro for months on a replacement because it was still under warranty and they refused to do absolutely anything about their garbage product. No repair, no exchange even though it was still under warranty, and I had to literally harass them with multiple emails to even finally get a replacement driver that I had to figure out how to wire up on my own, and then it STILL didn't work. Half the light just doesn't come on. Mars Hydro is pure garbage.

[@user-ne9sd4ow1o]

That suck dude.

[@evzevz06]

That sucks to hear. If its still not right have you checked the solder points where the wires go to that board. When theres a bad connection that spot can get hot and with the heat the solder can pop out altogether. Might just need the 2 contacts redoing because flickering can be a sign of high resistance in the circuit from a poor contact point. Not ideal having to take it apart and DIY it but could potentially revive it

[@MrAllen2000]

Yea because how can you ever think a company that makes tents all of the sudden become an efficient tech brand. Look at the power supply. U will make ur money back by saving on power in 2 years if u purchased quality.

I got a question who bother me some time. So from a grow light to be very good ( if we dont consider price and efficency) we expect to put out around 1000 ppfd and good even spread. That would be for 40 DLI for photos. But what about autos? Is there any light which is designed for autos ? 40DLI in 18/6 would be ppfd reading 600 right? Or less if 20/4. I understand that there is dimmer for that purpose ofc :D But is in those manuals section for ppfd map what would be best for that purpose(autoflowers) ? P.S sorry for my bad english

[@tarkitarker0815]

400 during first 10 days. 600 to day 35, after that most autos will flower, blast them. (not literally, train your auto for the high ppfd by increasing a few percent each day and start below 400 after germination)

Nice. It's a shame your earlier test on this was on a 2.5 x 2.5 footprint as it means the PAR ratings can't be directly compared. Still, the wattage is up and it _seems_ to be delivering more bang for the buck. I do hope you review the new 2022 version of the TSL2000 -- which is Mars' entry level light for the 2x4 space.

Idk I was looking around for a friend recently and the cheapest 100W I could find was £110, 2 of those would have been £220 But Mars Hydro had a sale on them and my mate got 4 of their 100W ones for I think £230

@@evzevz06 Yes the T600 is very cheaply built with it's no name diodes and lack of a proper driver. I have a cheap light like that from spider farmer just to raise small seedlings, for the bigger plants I use proper growlights

You say it's quite a bit of light for a 2x2 tent so a 4x4 would be good 👍

Please anyone considering mars hydro please read reviews and do due diligence. Customer service matters, spend your money smart. I learned a $400 lesson with the ts3000, if it fails they won't care.

I woild much rather deal with viperspectra. Mars hydro customer service is horrible.
