I'm not an expert myself but I've seen many comparisons and reviews online, measuring watts, par, noise, heat etc... In my eyes, going with the MarsHydro TS1000 for one plant is perfect. I've heard only good things about that light and it's still a budget light. Second choice would be Spider Farmer SF1000 which is quite similar but uses less watts and less PAR but it has samsung diodes and it's design is cool as f..k :)

I would spend $60 more (than what the TS1000 cost) and get a HLG 135W QB V2 rspec kit. Same wattage, more efficient and better PAR rating.

I think spider farmer and mars are one in the same. Both have identical warehouse adresses

For that area- HLG pricey but worth it top of the line. Spider farmer has stepped up now. A lot better. Buddies grow fire under it. Idk about mars haven’t looked at them a lot. I use my vipar450 for small plants before the even go into a tent. All will work. A lot of information throughout this forum on all these lights.

Im in a 2x2.5' tent. 2 of the 648's at 65w a piece. Have the two because i am planning on a slightly bigger tent eventually.
