LED Array Replacement Needed.
chasv77started grow question 5 years ago
To try and save some research time, I am trying to find an LED grow array to replace my current 240W Duo Drive.
240 Watts (48x5w) HID Eqiv =200w 10 band 17.25" x 7" x 3.25"
Physical size is important. Any "quick" answers for a 2'x2'x5.5' grow box?

Hi budd!
How is it growing?👊
Personally if you would go for a mars hydro, which seems cheap, stay with the ts series, definetly not the epistar pro serie, it sucks big time.
I got a "ts 1000" and it seems to work fine, no problem at all!! also have a "epistar pro 80" and within 4 months it has a defect grow light. Maybe a 200 €/$ LED isnt as good as it may seem😂
Spending more money on a decent LED will prob leave you more satisfied in the end.
Look at blackdog LED if you want some real LED✌️
problem with LED's and timers: there will be a tiny current going to your LED when the timers is OFF, for a normal lamp it wont be enough to light up, but a LED panel will light up just a little bit, leaving your light on during your nightly hours.
Sometimes it helps to switch timer but it keeps coming back in my room.
Better to spend more 1x than spending even more on 3 cheap leds and having shity results👍

My Duo has dropped 5 leds - - 3 red, one blue and one white.
I am 2 weeks into flower and will ride it out, but the consensus here is the TS1000.
The only reservation, I saw a negative comment on one review for this array at the MARSHYDRO site, complaining about an auto flower grow and perceived lack of red leds and IR specific lamps. They (MARSHYDRO) actually replied saying they would add more IR and red LEDs.
Since this is a Chinese company, and their English grammer on the product is so-so, it makes it hard to determine if they misunderstood the comment. I saw some comments on the adjustable power supply process, and it was definitely a person(s) with limited English skills.

For that size room the spider farmer quantum board like the sf1000 would be perfect. You can really go with any quantum board and get great results. Good luck!

My tent is 32"x32"x63". I've only ever done one plant at a time. This time I am attempting to share the tent with a hydroponic grow in a 5-gallon bucket. I normally grow soil in a 5-gallon smart pot. Should I use a 3-gallon instead? Last grow the 1 hydro filled the tent.Week 2

Encouraging heightI just raised my 900w led to 39". Feeding every day about .3 liter. It looks like she will have 8 main colas after the 4-way top but I'm concerned about height. Should I wait for 4 nodes on the new colas and then switch to flower maybe? Thanks for the great advice as always!Week 9

Hydroponics and tent height issuesI'm looking into hydroponics, and have been looking at the GHE waterfarm. But worried that with a pot being 37cm and my tent being 120cm, I'll run out of space. At least having to turn down my light to prevent bleaching or heat damage. Any advice on this?Week 1
