Mars Hydro TS600 LED Grow Light Review

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

BLESS YOU for actually plugging the light into a watt meter to measure the ACTUAL power, which is rated at 99 watts when you dig into the specs

[@TechplantChannel]

yup always gotta check

[@sweetness6048]

It says in the description that it's only 100 watts

[@colossuses]

I guess your looking for a refugium light also😄👌🏿 Or not?... 👀

[@kennethvayo2933]

Thank you for actually saying the name of the device wattmeter are there other terms for it cuz people ask me what my draws are and currents are and I don't have that device

[@DV-zv4ox]

"Other high yield plants" hehehe. Great review!

[@TechplantChannel]

😁

[@pottierkurt1702]

I bought 1 for my 'tomatoes' based on this review. And I gotta say I was pretty impressed, finished my grow at just under 1 gram per watt. Works perfectly for an 80x80x160cm growtent

[@TechplantChannel]

Nice work!

[@DV-zv4ox]

What was the quality of your "tomatoes"? Was the fruit dense and fragrant?

Hi! I'm growing just one plant, a little portucalaria afra bonsai. What light do you think I should buy to help it grow indoors during the winter?

[@fretboy07]

Excited for the comprehensive grow light video! I've been looking to purchase one for my houseplants

[@TechplantChannel]

Coming soon! im in the middle of it. I gotta warn you its not exciting or visually appealing but it will have a lot of good info

[@jbuenoloco]

When growing peppers indoors from seed, what distance would you keep this light once the seeds sprout?

[@TechplantChannel]

12 or 14 inches

[@TheLostOne172]

Got one for carnivorus plants I can hopefully get some nice red on sundews with this setup.

[@TechplantChannel]

they will be blood red with this thing lol! enjoy

@@TechplantChannel you were absolutely right my cape looks absolutely stunning a year later.

[@ravenfeathesDVM]

Nice review. I was confused also at first. They sent the wrong user manual so I was looking for the “driver” that it said was supposed to be connected. 🙄 Thanks so much! 💕

[@TechplantChannel]

yeah its not until you go up in wattage with the bigger models. Thanks for watching!

[@Etcabezas]

I am excited for the next video. Thanks for doing the research

[@TechplantChannel]

Thanks!

Nice! I’ve been looking into grow lights so I’ll be looking forward to seeing your video explaining more 🙌🏼

First one is out

[@gregcrouse4349]

I havegrown3HUGE plants !WITH2 T600S ALL10GALLON BUCKETS! OUT OF SIGHT LIGHT!

[@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 is their customer support and warranty?

[@kennethvayo2933]

What was the technical term for the device you use to check the wattage that was pulling from the wall I have the exact same light rating is 100 Watts from the wall have a good one and keep gardening

[@Skotcho4eva]

I have a giixer blurplu light. Wondering if I can use both together? Not asking if it can be daisy chained or linked together. Just want to know if I can use both in the same 4x4 grow tent i have.

[@TechplantChannel]

yeah they can it wont cause any wierd issues

[@Flatpickmastery]

How does it turn on where is the power switch?

[@sulee8509]

Looking forward to next vid

[@TechplantChannel]

[@Mad_Medz]

Question: should i double the light height if im running 2 ts600s? For example instead of 12" in flower what about 24"?

[@BloodChampagne]

So I can plug this directly into my wall? It won't overload anything?

[@MrDumonic]

Looking to buy this light for a 2x2 tent. I just grew a rescue plant outdoors and she’s on her last day of drying. I purchased 3 auto flower royal queen gorilla glue seeds and plan on growing them one at a time. First grow I will not top and just let her go, minus the lollipoping etc. Second grow I’m going to top and do LST. 3rd grow I will be trying out my cannabonsi skills with a nice piece of drift wood I have. By the 3rd grow, it will be almost time to grow outdoors again, and I got a nice feminized white widow seed I’m going to grow outdoors. This will also be the time I start cloning. I love the white widow from back in the late 90’s. Now I have a chance to grow my own and smoke it. My first grow was one Afghani plant and she turned out pretty nice. Very very smooth white smoke, and a huge heavyweight knockout. Smoke one joint and 5 minutes later your falling asleep.

[@NOT_SURE..]

how did it go , i always plant at least 2 as one every often wilts and dies

[@stevenbaca7177]

Is this light moisture resistant? I know it's not waterproof, but will a humidifier cause any problems?

[@TechplantChannel]

yes, it runs hot enough where no moisture should build up. Im not sure how well it will fair in like 90%+ humidity but anything below that should be fine. Im not an expert tho so take it with a grain of salt

[@stevenbaca7177]

@@TechplantChannel I am planning on no more than 65-70% so sounds perfect!

[@urbancitrus6869]

Hey Techplant, I'm in the market shopping for my first hanging grow lamp. I was looking at the Mars Hydro TS600 and the Sansi 70W hanging one, the price between the two is around $20, with the Sansi one being cheaper. Since you have both, could do maybe do a comparison on the two of them and which one you'd recommend and for what? I wouldreally appreciate it, thank you! :)

[@scoobydee3954]

Is there a dimmer switch

[@TechplantChannel]

No

[@rmesaglez4708]

Does this will be sufficient for indoor growing of CPs Drosera Aliciae?

[@TechplantChannel]

wayyyyyy more than enough

[@rmesaglez4708]

@@TechplantChannel Thank you, I was at the verge of buying the ts1000, which cost the double!

[@RickWagenvoort]

Do you think something like the ts600 is too much for a small contained greenhouse? Its for my rarer plants. Around 70x40cm

[@TechplantChannel]

hard to say without knowing the size of the greenhouse, but I would look into barrina grow lights for something like that, I made a video about light recommendations. it might help you decide

[@MUDSWAT]

I see no controls, how do you control them?

[@gr8belayr]

What do you recommend for a budget light(s) to grow lettuce in the basement DWC style?

[@TechplantChannel]

Im still trying to figure out the best bang for your buck. but i was growing them with about 60Watts on the older LED diodes. I bet you could get away with something like 40W with SMD style and it would cover a 2.5 x 2.5 area

[@TechplantChannel]

once i have a house ill setup a bunch of basement DWC stuff and really experiment. Since its a leafy green it doesnt require as much energy as something like tomato plants

[@PYROMARU]

great video! can you dim the light or is it on full power all the time?

[@TechplantChannel]

this is full power all the time, they do make dimmable models tho as well

[@isbit7658]

I just bought one to grow some tomatoes how many plants can I have I will also have two 15 watts led bulbs, must say really good review!

[@j-streamingandplay3644]

Hi, i just bought this led panel, and i want to know if is normal the heat on the metalroof of the panel? I feel it too hot, but idk if that is normal

[@TechplantChannel]

yes its normal! they are almost too hot to touch

[@sustachejohn4567]

what distance did u keep this light at for flowering tomatoes?

[@TechplantChannel]

i think it was about 12 inches when it started but soon it was past the light lol

[@ricardolourenco2745]

Hi nice video. I bought one TS600, and I notice that MH changed the output draw from 100 to 85w. My Light had a new sticker on top of the old one that says 100w. Any information about this?

[@TechplantChannel]

No idea, maybe reach out to them through amazon questions, they usualy answer

[@faridk3528]

It's a fake, I got the same and now I send it back

[@motoholyness8795]

How would this compare to a roleadro 2x200w cob grow light?

[@TechplantChannel]

Im not sure becasue ive never used it. but these newer lights are getting pretty darn efficient, Id recommend any light with samsung LEDs, I have one by viparspectra and another by spider farmer and they are working well!

[@motoholyness8795]

Which lights have Samsung? What does the mars hydro ts series use? I had really good results with my used eBay roleadro. But now one of the strips of leds in one of the cobs is flickering so I bought a ts600 as a backup light just in case it completely stops working.

[@petsitter78]

I have been using the Mars hydro ts600 for a year and after exactly one year, part of the lamp has stopped working. Unfortunately, the company is not helpful. My houseplants were growing excellently but as I mentioned, it stopped working after a year:(((

[@youngsavage7949]

Is this good for weed?

[@TechplantChannel]

There are much better newer lights out now I will make a video soon

[@flordecor8696]

So max watts is 100 on TS600 or what’s th max watts this light can push?

[@squidboi1871]

Can I get mine from AliExpress

[@TechplantChannel]

they all come from china anyways so yeah its probably the same thing

[@Zaknewton]

Does anybody know if I can set a timer on it for 16 on and 8 off

[@TechplantChannel]

You cannot. However I think mose timers you can buy are pretty cheap

[@tazzmoore5143]

Like turn them from yellow to Blue again LOL

The TS - 600 light bought some the link and your description, isn't purple and it doesn't work that well. Did I buy the wrong one it shines a white bright light. Isn't it supposed to be purple

[@wooohwow]

Watch the video bro. Its supposed to be white

[@donethos]

This lil light amounts to a dimple on the butt of a Mars Hydro SP 3000, which is dollar for dollar the 2nd best grow light on the market right now. Love your videos, mang.

[@TechplantChannel]

yeah any light that uses those Samsung LEDs are legit, just pretty expensive. for someone growing weed or tomatoes they are worth it tho

[@gabbybonilla3567]

Can you maybe make a video cooking with plants you've grown?

Don't you recommend it for a milsbo greenhouse cabinet full of alocasia, philodendron and anthurium? Or what you suggest. Your ideas always mean to me:)

[@mtyilmaz1]

I watched other video about recommendations now, but unfortunately Barrina is not sold in Turkey. Do you really think Mars Hydro could be a killer? Thanks

[@TechplantChannel]

its going to be really strong for anything on the top shelf if this is really your only option you could try and diffuse the light with something that wont start on fire. also it will really heat up the case very fast if its inside. www.amazon.com.tr/Carriage-Light-Cabinet-DC1224V-Closet/dp/B091M7PSYG/ref=sr_1_52?__mk_tr_TR=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&dchild=1&keywords=led+tube+light&qid=1626208028&sr=8-52 i cant read the description well, but something like this would work. They dont have to be barrina just makesure they have a decent wattage

you will need more than one of those tube lights, otherwise you can try small florecent tube fixtures
