4000K might be better for terpenes but i find 3500K works for me , 3000 is too yellow. UV/IR helps less than you think, depends how you use it , just turn it on at random 15-20 minutes several times a day, that should work. hope this helps ! 🚀

Anyone affiliated with Mars Hydro? Very disappointed with customer serviceMy TS 1000’s controller/driver crapped the bed. Contacted customer support, told them the issue, they diagnosed based on videos i send, and was told they were sending replacement parts. 2 weeks later, no email confirmation and no reply to my previous 2 emails sent a week apart.Setup.

Bad idea?Will a mars hydro TS1000 be too strong for a 60x60x140cm tent?
I have been using a TS600 and TS1000 in tandem in a tent 4x too big for the light level, I have been growing strong and tasty buds but with low yields so downsizing my tent size to maximise the light.Other. General questions

Lamp to Plant distance - Outdoor.If growing outside, what is the best way to calculate lamp (star) to plant distance for the journal each week based on time of year and rotation of our lovely planet? I am being facetious, of course! It's just a fun question for you all. Hope everyone out there good!Setup. Lighting

Light spectrum during veg and bloom periodsI have 2 1000w full spectrum lights. Each light has 2 switches-a veg button and a bloom button. This gives 3 settings for the lights-veg only, bloom only and both lights on at the same time. What settings should I use during Veg and during flower and how close should I hang them?Setup. Lighting

Lightning questionHey, Growers! This week I had to open together the two boxes, so now all the plants have both kind of lights. Do you think, it can have a negative effect on them, or maybe it's good at least for the 140cm height White Widow,because the bottom parts get some more light from there?Week 8

When should I switch on the other half of my LED light setup?Hi guys, I grow 6 plants in hydroponics in a 4x4 grow box and they are 2-3 weeks old (about 7-8 cm tall). I use MarsHydro TS 3000 LED (450W) which have 2 seperate LED panels. Right now I run only one panel and would like to know when I should turn on the other panel. THXSetup. Lighting

T5 vs. LED for veg?So I have a T5 light, and I’ve used it to veg quite a bit, and it does really well. My question is, should I use the T5 in just the seedling phase, then use LED for veg and flower? Or will the T5 give me good results throughout the veg cycle?Week 3
