Upgrade options from Mars Hydro TSL2000

s4cruiser · Aug 24, 2023

Going to be moving my 2x4 tent setup to our detached garage once the current grow is finished. Was contemplating replacing my TSL2000 with either the mars hydro sp3000, hlg 350 Diablo, hlg 320 rspec FR or ???

Is upgrading going to be worth it? I mainly grow autoflowers currently.

TSL2000 is 300 watts, thats good in a 2x4 and more than enough for autos.

Are you happy with the TSL? That would be my main motivation for upgrading (I lie, of course, because who doesn't want the latest, greatest technological double glazing and such?).

In all seriousness, the TSL is a fine light, the other models you listed are even finer. I really like the sp3000 from Mars, but I feel like it's overpriced at this juncture. Medicgrow has their mini sun fixtures for a great price. HLG has some pretty awesome spectra available. So many choices compared to even 2 years ago.

Yeah I’m happy with the tsl2000 but have nothing to personally compare it to.

The best decision is probably continue using the tsl2000 until I can get through multiple grows without fighting deficiencies/lockout.

The HLG Scorpion Diablo X was expensive but I getting a 25% off coupon made it an easier decision. The spectrum is amazing and it runs so cool. I'm happy with it.
