Quick qeustion?

[PJ Diaz]

That's what I said reas thread I asked how does the SF 1000 say 100 watts which seeks right but then Mar Hydro says there 1000 watt is 150. They are lying lol thats were i was getting

They are using different drivers which put out different amounts of power.

 

[ZuuTeD614]

You are saying the ts 1000 is a 1000w light, Mars isn't saying that. They are saying it's a 150w light. You invented the 1000w thing in your mind.

You better re-read I said why does SF 1000 watt light say it's 100 watts but the Mars hydro 1000 watt lights says it's 150 watts

So mars hydro is a bettwr light than the SF?

You should re-read what you wrote. You are saying the Mars hydro is a 1000 watt light but it doesn't say that anywhere on the page you linked to. The SF page is misleading for sure.

"Better" might be a judgement. It's definitely brighter, and uses more power.

 

[PJ Diaz]

In reality a Mars ts 1000 is at best equal to a 250w HPS.

So.if I got that light and ran my 2 300 watt actual 130 watt blurple with that I should be good? That would be 410 watts all 3 lights. In a 2x4 tent or would that be overkill?

So what's a good efficient light tjat don't run hot and is a decent price. I am running two of these.mars hydro it says theybare 130 watt

So you don't flower with it?

When they start to flower I put them under the big lights to finish. If you linked your two lights together and kept 1-2 plants in the footprint
with some LST, you'll do fine.
Disclaimer: I grow autos only.

Your blurples are around half as efficient as the ts1000 will be, so you're basically running 3 lights (1 efficient, and 2 inefficient), when you could get the same photon output with just 2 efficient units. Either way, it should be ample light for the space.

Yes I have 1 photoperiod under them two blurples and so far she seems super good. I'm now in week 2 since flip to 12/12 and first time doing LST. What you think? Ps I just use soil meter for watering until I get the hang in weight difference. Inormally grow outside in the ground. Lol

I'd sell the blurples on craigslist, ebay or some such for 150/pair to some noob and get 2 ts1000 or a tsw2000. But that's my opinion.

but if I got 1 2000 wat that's only 200 watt, if I got 100 watt with my.two I would have little.over 400 watts. And inly.doing 2 plants max in 7 gallon pots with LST

Stop looking at the model number as watts.
The TSW2000 is 300W. It's 2 TS1000's in one light. Made for a 2x4.

I see. So you think 1 mars hydro 2000 watt would be alot more convenient than the 1000 watt and my two blurples?

 

[Tvanmunhen]

So on the SF what you think the true wattage is? And the mars Hydro vs1000 says it's 150 true watts.

95w

With 2 plants, keeping them the same size? I think so. Only 1 light to adjust and same light across the whole space.
I run multiple lights (individually powered COBs) but I have autos at all stages so it's a lot easier than setting plants at all different heights.

I mean, you already have the blurples. You can run with them no problem. I was saying what I'd do. I sold my old COBs (8 ) and bought new, identical ones (10) only because they ran 10W higher than the previous version so take my advice as you may.

There are no Mars Hydro 2000 watt or 1000 watt fixtures. Why do you keep saying that?

I prefer more smaller lights than one big one. So I like 2 HLG 135's in my 2x4 veg tent vs a single 260.

HLG doesn't pull that misleading bullshit. And 10% off if you use code "RIU10".
