Lights

Check out others grows with the ts1000 and make a call for yourself. growdiaries.com/explore growdiaries.com/grow-lights/mars-hydro/mars-ts-1000 Good Luck!

They are ok- just ok. Not great- its about the cheapest light you can get that actually works. Id go with the Viparspectra P1000 or XS 1000 if you got a lil more money to spend. The XS 1000 is the best 1000 series light thats still cheap-ish. The P 1000 is bit cheaper and throws off a tiny bit less light due to driver being a bit cheaper but its basically same as the XS series other than that. Im getting the P 600 for my germination tent, to grow plants out for outdoors use and will likely grab a P 1000 or XS 1000 after that when I move into a tent again.

If you are looking for a 100watt light in that price bracket, marshydro isn't the best. Spiderfarmer is a better light. Gives higher ppf/ppfd g per watt and mars ts1000 uses 150watts the SF1000 uses 100, but then there's even better with a even higher ppf/ppfd a little bit more expensive but again a much better light probably the best brand there is in that price bracket. Go with the p1000 viparspectra. 100watts little higher outputs than the SF1000, but that's on paper. I'm running an sf1000 in a 70x70 and I've started with 5 and 1 of them is an absolute monster so much respect for this little 100watt light. I know the TS only uses an extra 50watts but you'd think it'd be better, ITS NOT. Have a look at viparspec they are by far the best in that price range. Good luck.

Lights are great if you are on a budget. I used 1 for 4 autos all the way threw the month veg cycle. I eventually added another for the flowering cycle. My smallest auto of that grow harvested about 3 ounces. It was one of my very first diaries. Massive autos. Mars hydro are good lights for sure. Hope this helps. Happy growing my friend.
