That sounds awesome! I have a 3x3 tent and im still searching for a light.. these mars lights seem like a decent grow light though from what I have seen in youtube vids.
Per Mars Hydro: For the SP 3000 and SP 6500 lights, the previous version is with IR and UV chips. Since March, we have moved the IR and UV from the SP 3000, SP 6500, and FC 6500 lights. Also, the new FC-E6500 light doesn't have IR and UV chips. The reason is that these lights' main customers are personal growers who pursue the best results or the commercial project customers; they prefer to independently control the IR and UV lights time, don't need the IR and UV chips on the light itself. Mars Hydro also will issue independent IR and UV lights in the second half of the year.
video production and quality are very high, well done. it has been good but gotten even better 👏 I can tell you are a prof by day/an experienced teacher in general because you tell us right away its probably too much light, then repeat it lol, it is effective, because if you don't come at it this way people will buy it and burn their plants.. it is too much light for most average home growers. that hang height is crazy, but this light certainly has its application as you mention. well done video and review 👍👍

My sp3000 covered my 6x4.5 grow space and killed a 12plant grow... im extremely happy with marshydro...and looking forwards to getting the sp6500 or maybe a FC6500
That light is better for 2x4. Pulling around 12 oz. per two plants. I mean if you filled out 6x4 space you should pull 24oz plus. No matter what light you decide. Thanks in advance.
Hi Dr! Do you think that one of those is good enough for 5 - 6 plants? Can it cover them fine? I'll have 50 - 60 plants in my greenhouse/growroom, so wondering how many Mars Hydro SP6500 would I need in total! Thank you!
Yeah it is too much light for a 4x2 - It is really a whole lot of light from a single bar. The SP3000 is perfect for a 4x2 - even it is a lot... Grower Love
I am thankful that you are doing these tests, but since i got my eyes on three mars hydro leds it didn't make it easier for me. So what in your professional opinion is the best one - the SP 6500 - the FC 6500 or the FC E 6500 . I want to purchase several, in a larger growroom, and looking at your tests my fav. till now is the SP 6500 as you needed to hang it a lot higher to have the ideal 1000 micro mol/m². Please advise , thank you
It really depends on the setup and space. In a larger grow room the SP6500 might be the best choice. If you want to chat about your setup in particular you can contact me through the contact form on the website. Grower Love
@@DrMJCoco Thank you for your response, i will when the time comes. We are still waiting for the build to get started, already 20 months behind. I will keep you in mind, i always watch you vids and tests. Take care, stay safe !
Great videos very informative! I am thinking about buying equipment and doing my own grow and I want to supplement co2 and get max light in a 4x4 tent. Would love to see what two Mars 6500 would do in a 4x4 map and what 3 3600 would do in a 4x4 map.
Is there a video that explains figuring out your DLI better? I know my ppfd of my light after using your ligjt calculator but i can't seen to figure how much time my lights should run for to achieve the DLI before the lights should go off for the night. Also Can we get some testing on RapidLED Chilled logic Pucks? And when can we expect some videos with plants on actual growing techniques like defoliation,training, etc.? Thanks!
Have a 12x20 space I was going to put up 10 fc6500 fixtures and noticed these. have ceiling heights of 10' and can do go 12' if needed seeing as eoom hasn't been built. Wondering if these would be worth it
It could be. There are a few things to consider. You can reach out to me through the contact page on cocoforcannabis I'd be happy to chat about lights for your space. Grower Love
I think 24 sq feet coverage in an array would be optimal. 30 is pushing it. You should check out my grow light physics video about running in arrays. There is a "bonus", but not a 50% bonus. Grower Love
Would it be possible to cover a 5'x20' with three of these during VEG stage? I'm being asked for a good LED light for healthy productive mothers and thought of this one but i'm unsure if i should suggest it based on data for flowering phase.
It would be stretching the light a little thin, but should be fine for veg. You would need to have high ceilings. Would certainly be a budget friendly lighting solution for that space :)
@@DrMJCoco Thanks for responding bro after I kept watching your video I went to your website and did the calculator so I know for each room how many. Thank you for your great work my friend!
It would be about the same price... Yeah, I would recommend 2x SP3000 for most spaces, especially tents - but if you have high ceilings the SP6500 might work better. I think the SP6500 is more suited for larger spaces with several of them each covering about 20-24 sq ft.
Photoinhibition. Plants can try to avoid excessive light = "photo protection responses", but if it is consistently too high it will lead to photoinhibition which slows photosynthesis. It can also lead to bud bleaching/clorosis. If you can see evidence of too much light on the plants then you are already well past the optimal point. Grower Love
@@DrMJCoco Thank you my friend. SP-6500 is very impressive. I saw your whole 1-hour video about the SP-3000 and I thought that 2 SP-3000s in 4x4 couldn't be beat, but SP-6500 had a better distribution despite being just ONE big strip. Very strange.
IM Sorry 🤔have to ask just want make sure..but I have a odd space 3 x 7 feet would this cover my edgs?? & Around what would those #s look like at 7ft roughly of course? Thanks in advance
Light mover? Many cannabis plants from the chem and cookie lineages make prettier stinkier flowers under less intense light. And it can speed up the growth of your lowers and inners.
Yeah, it won't cover the ends very well and there would be a lot of light in the middle. I think with 7' in one dimension you would be best to use 2 fixtures. Perhaps 2 of the FC3000s - check out my video on that one, two of them might be a good choice in that space
Mars is the sxxt I got a tsl2000 in a 3z4 had 2 plants got 3/4 pound now got a tsl2000 and a sp150 in the same tent and 4 plants hoping for a pound and a quarter ro so fingers crossed 😹 LOL

Completely lost me at "to much light for homegrowers" lol I love my mars light. And theres no such thing as too much light. These are designed for up to a 5x5 area. Perfect for any home grower looking to fill a 5x5 or 5x8 tent or room.

Mars hydro is killing the LED game once again. Could also kill your plants if you don't know what you're doing. Lol with this light anyway. I do find it disappointing they didn't put the uv diodes in the fc series models yet. I have the fc-4800 and it doesn't have them even though it was advertised on Amazon with them. Emailed them about it and they came up with some janky excuse of having shortage of the diodes and won't be available to the public for another month or two. Why sell them advertised with them and not have it.. Good lights but bad business with the false advertising.
Dr MJ Coco are theses comparable to a gavita 1000w de Iv yet to see any led produce the size and density of 1000w de ?? Would 2 sp3000 be the equivalent of 1000w hps or x2 sp6500 out perform a 1000w de covering 4x4 🤔

Photoinhibition. Plants can try to avoid excessive light = "photo protection responses", but if it is consistently too high it will lead to photoinhibition which slows photosynthesis. It can also lead to bud bleaching/clorosis. If you can see evidence of too much light on the plants then you are already well past the optimal point. Grower Love
@@DrMJCoco Thank you my friend. SP-6500 is very impressive. I saw your whole 1-hour video about the SP-3000 and I thought that 2 SP-3000s in 4x4 couldn't be beat, but SP-6500 had a better distribution despite being just ONE big strip. Very strange.
IM Sorry 🤔have to ask just want make sure..but I have a odd space 3 x 7 feet would this cover my edgs?? & Around what would those #s look like at 7ft roughly of course? Thanks in advance
Light mover? Many cannabis plants from the chem and cookie lineages make prettier stinkier flowers under less intense light. And it can speed up the growth of your lowers and inners.
Yeah, it won't cover the ends very well and there would be a lot of light in the middle. I think with 7' in one dimension you would be best to use 2 fixtures. Perhaps 2 of the FC3000s - check out my video on that one, two of them might be a good choice in that space
@@DrMJCoco 🙏 thanks.. I was thinking of end to end with 2 of them? Orr really open to whatever could cover the length 🤔👍👍
@@juliankirby9880 thanks
😀 I dream of these,,,love my Mars
That thing's crazy
Ok let's get this out on a tray ok alright 👍.
Mars is the sxxt I got a tsl2000 in a 3z4 had 2 plants got 3/4 pound now got a tsl2000 and a sp150 in the same tent and 4 plants hoping for a pound and a quarter ro so fingers crossed 😹 LOL
John romans what nutes r u using
I have the tsl2000 and this news is music to my ears :)
wow, wish i could afford this
my dealer has sp6500 without uv and ir how is it possible?
are there more versions? could someone give me more information?
I’m sat here after buying one looking at the description saying no ir and uv thinking wtf? Lol
Why the hell would they randomly remove it
@@musicloveraby those diodes don't last as long the other ones and are more expensive to buy, could also be a shortage of something they use for the filter that gives the lights it's color.
@@f_youtubecensorshipf_nazis yeah i’m happy with the sp3000 as it us to be fair, would be interesting to know the performance difference with uv and ir
How much electricity does that lamp use per month
I measured it at 630 w @ 120v. It would depend on how long you had it turned on.
Dr MJ Coco in bloom that is 12 hours of current on for a month how much do you spend
360 hours per month
@@obedmartinez4051 wtf. I can run a 1k hps and pay less than that on 120v per month. Fuck your electric company.
Now I have to get this one as well 😭 lol
What’s the price tag
$800
@@kushlungs3367lumatek Zeus kind of money
@@williamswhistlepipes much better distribution from the zeus but Alibaba bar lights for the win, £300 for a 600w bar light. Yessir.
Plz do the new HLG 100rspec!!!!!!!
@Cody Monko they just came out wensday broski idk what light your talking of
Wow, imagine this thing in a 2 x 4!!! 😆 😆 😆 You'd have to rent a CO2 tank.
Actually it's perfect for a 2x4.
Sp3000 u mean!? Like wtf lol
@@leopold-buttersstotch9353 i heard it’s perfect for a 2x4 as well to be honest lol
Get the experience of top brands at one third of the price
How much watts it draw
What would you say to 3x sp3000 in a 1.5x1.5 without added c02.?? Reckon it will be okay? Not too much light?
Lol what!? Put down the pipe, you dreaming.
@@leopold-buttersstotch9353 why? 2x sp3000 is perfect for 1.2 x1. 2 so an extra 1 wouldnt do much harm in a 1.5 x1.5
Phill Roberts are we talking meters!? I'm confused.
@@leopold-buttersstotch9353 yes meters. 1.5m x1.5m tent.
....if so, sorry don't want to do the actual math. 4x4 area vs. trying to make 5x5 area work? I think you'll be fine, I hadn't woke up properly before commenting. Oops 🙃
One almighty dust collector...
Shit I was here for the preview and got sidetracked making some modifications to my tent lmfao if anyone has any Rec's for a cheap light for a 2x4x6 along with a cheap humidifier lemme know. Would love everyone's thoughts. I know it's not the place really, but I've asked everywhere else.
To much light for home growers. Lol. This will be the 4th light in my grow.
Completely lost me at "to much light for homegrowers" lol I love my mars light. And theres no such thing as too much light. These are designed for up to a 5x5 area. Perfect for any home grower looking to fill a 5x5 or 5x8 tent or room.
*too much.
@@PeterKKraus oh shit!! I got grammar nazi'd hell yea!
@@the_lone_dabber710 If I was being mean, I would have used a string of insults instead of a simple *correction. Poor baby.

Trying to buy 10 but it is the first time using Mars webpage... anyone have had buy anything using their website..?? When going to checkout it would transfer me to PayPal and in the merchant name show chinese algorithm...
Yes, that happens. It is their company name in Chinese characters. It is not a scam. Sounds like you got a cool room in the works! Grower Love
Marshydro NOT playing any games
Mars hydro is killing the LED game once again. Could also kill your plants if you don't know what you're doing. Lol with this light anyway.
I do find it disappointing they didn't put the uv diodes in the fc series models yet. I have the fc-4800 and it doesn't have them even though it was advertised on Amazon with them. Emailed them about it and they came up with some janky excuse of having shortage of the diodes and won't be available to the public for another month or two. Why sell them advertised with them and not have it.. Good lights but bad business with the false advertising.
😆

Sp 3000 draws 300 i guess this draws 650?
yup
Published is 650, I measured it at 630w - it is a lot of power to run through a single LED bar!
Dr MJ Coco are theses comparable to a gavita 1000w de Iv yet to see any led produce the size and density of 1000w de ?? Would 2 sp3000 be the equivalent of 1000w hps or x2 sp6500 out perform a 1000w de covering 4x4 🤔
@@daveking777 my question is why would you run a 1k de hps in a 4x4. Those are meant for 5x5. Do you have the light mounted high so you can grow from start to finish w/o moving your light?
The commentary is like one long run on sentences. Damn take a breathe
