My plants have been in for 12 weeks useing
2x600w hps
2x6” outlet fans
1x6” inlet fan
4x oscillating fans
In a 2x1m tent
I’ve just had an electricity bill for £1300
I’ve looked at mars hydro ts1000 my plan is to get 3 of them to cover this space instead of the 2x600w hps lights

my question is will 3 mars hydro ts1000 cover this space and what are they like on electricity? Will I save a lot or a little ?

Damn man what do you pay for electric? Maybe some one in your home land can give an opinion but that seems outrageously high

2mX1m is about 20 square feet and you want 30+ watts per sq' or a minimum of about 600 true watts to cover the space. The Mars TS1000 is listed at 100 watts so you'll need at least 6 of them to cover the space you have. You may be better off finding two LEDs of around 300 true watts each.

If you can tighten a few screws and follow a wiring diagram.....building a kit may be the cheapest and best way to go.
