- Congratulations to MARS HYDRO on 15 years in business today August 15th 2024.
I test the new MARS HYDRO FC6500 LED grow light and the Adlite supplementary LED UV, IR and Deep red LED lights.
I add my suggestion on how to use the supplementary lights to maximise growth rate and quality of your grow.

I would love to see this integrated into a single fixture! Adding a dimming option for each spectrum would be great for mimicking sunrise and sunset.
plus i have enough digital timers running already
u mean the science led raggin kush, with full capacity of dimming
Check out grandmaster LEDs
I purchased 12 sets of the 680nm and 24 sets of the 730nm about 2 months ago. In total the room has 1200 watts of combined 680+730nm, she's red and bright! Starting week 5 of flower today! I've been doing both only on 15 mins after lights off but I'm gonna switch to 680s on 12 hours a day after watching this. Thanks!
I'd be up for yield results cause Mars bar led's have plenty of far red already
Hello, In terms of UV, we stay on fluo lamp, it's more effective. The features of this new light are really cool, and we ve been waiting for this kind of upgrade for a long time. After I hope MARS HYDRO gives a nice dimming turorial with the light to teach when to turn ON the IR and Deep Red. And when we are talking about MARS HYDRO we are talking about China and TEMU's quality. For this light we will need to test it at least 3 years to see how it ends... Thanks again for your video. and keep it green.
Mars Hydro being chinese has nothing to do with Temu's quality. Such a stupid and ignorant thing to say.
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤣🤣🤣 bless you
Who the hell are you with the we need to test? I've been running Mars Bar LED's in my 3x3/4x2/4x4 for those 3 years you demand without any issues whatsoever. Best bang for the buck out there..
dude you aint on point at all The fluo you talk about is uvb and not uva like the lights in this video totaly other kinda of scptrum and benefits Also mars might be poor quality 8 years ago but today they are totaly on point and high quality and not even close to temu quality to sum it all up you are wrong on all fronts
i got the humidifier , its a beast. As a german, i like the quality ! fc-e 3000 is on the way !
I am using old school LED lights (Bloomspect 3000's) . If you are looking for a short, stalky plant in Veg. I use lots of blue 410 - 470 nm with Green 510 nm in veg. I don't add in the Red 630 - 730nm till the plant has grown 4 - 6 nodes(doesn't take long with the increased blue and green light). Then I try to slowing increase the intensity of the Red light being added. This is because in my experience the plant is SUPER sensitive to Red light compared to Blue Light. Difficult to provide too much blue light for Cannabis but very easy to provide too much red light.
We are so honored to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the Mars Hydro community with you all! 🎉
We have created countless memories since day one, and the past decade has brought some of the best ones. 📝

FCE-3000 owner here! Thanks very much great lights!! Happy anniversary MarsHydro!!
Hi shane
if you get a spare minute could you do a video on your thoughts and maybe test under canopy lighting
thanks
Question 🙋♂️ my good 👍 sir? Can you do a content video on how much par and photosynthesis lowers as you go through the canopy and also do it in multiple stages. Seedling 🌱 maybe 🤔 naturally already answered because of space obviously 🙄. You could do an early stage like not super thick canopy and then do an extremely dense canopy I mean maxed out kinda canopy and do all layers. Then you could do normal pre flower 🌸or veggie grow however it needs to be done ✅ to fit within guidelines so you don’t get into trouble and then a last few days before harvest and do all layers of canopy again. 😊I would love ❤️ ❤❤❤❤❤ to see those results. Also obviously 🙄 you pick one ☝️ of your lights 1st 🥇
I agree with your far red recommendation Shane. However, using too much far red in longer flowering genotypes is tricky. It is my experience to keep far red at a minimum thru veg and completely off during transition (if possible) to tighten up the node spacing. After week 4 as much light as possible. Maintaining veg dli thru transition is also helpful indoors.
💯✌️🦚
@@billybudz I would agree with this. No red LEDs during veg unless there are blues. In addition to the white
node spacing has A Lot to do with genetics
Hmm I thought I saw Professor Bugbee debunk UV and IR. Thanks for the video :)
Yes but they still want to keep us confused! hahahahaha
Some diligent side by side flower testing would be nice to see!
In my own side by side testing using 660nm and 730nm compared to not is a waste of time and money.
I get awesome results with about 80-85% 3000k and 15-20% 5000k.
Plain white light seed to harvest!
@@jteach9124 hahaha nice aggressive comment. Far red is 700-750. Infrared 780+, Ultraviolet 100-400. There's no benefit from IR and UV. Try again pal, think you need a few more years of RUclips university
@@reecemccullough4829 No benefit is not what I said, its so significant its not worth it! ahhahahahha UV I have never tried!
They both said in their first interview together Adding more white light is more beneficial than adding extra red and uv.
660nm is the most efficient but when I add that to my set up, recently did 2 runs with it and now have taken it off again and put back 3000k. ahhaahhahha
Do your own testing!
The Blue Lights are actually no real UV Lights, it's also called Deep Blue. It has nothing to do with yield but if you run this lights you get shorter plants. It's only purpose is to shape plants more to your will. The same goes for the IR, it's no real IR, it's Far Red, which will help with rooting and strechting.
I reckon every colour we see in the rainbow is good 🌈. Them old purple lights were inefficient but they made plants get very sticky hi terps
Using Spider Farmer UV/IR In Addition to my SP 3000 in a 4x2 tent but havent noticed any noticable differences. I played a lot with the timings but from my opinion besides thats annoying to keep the cycles, it is a waste of money. Just get a good Grow Light like Kingbrite with already addes UVs and IRs. And far cheaper and you can rotate each single bar to achieve a better uniform coverage.
Just my 2 Cents
Yeah man I think they are annoying aswell but I've used deep red lights on my cmh and I did notice a difference so I just purchased deep red but I found the uv and ir a waste of time the uv lights that migro sell are the best it actually puts out enough uv to make more sticky but not as big with uv but quality is there I don't think leds can do good uv but I also think these vg80 deep red will help fill my tent.
Just buy the kind x2 and your good to go 😊
Thank you so much for your work !
great show my friend i use the fc-e1500 only 150watts but at 10 inches like it says it reads over 1400 just hoping it does not burn the plants that close still new to growing with leds so i dont know yet but marshydro seems to be decent equipment
@@johnkehoe8368 raise it too much for 1st month
I JUST LOVE THIS GUY! JUSY A GREAT GUY
Love the videos and all you do thanks
Just anecdotal info... I did a crude germination experiment last winter (about 100 cells) comparing a variety of conventional lights vs GroWealth 1500 with UV/far red switches on all the time. I used a cheap-o meter to get equal PAR. The GroWealth made a believer out of me. The stems were fatter and the seedlings did better after transplant. Not a night-and-day difference, but for sure enough to justify the added cost.
@@racebiketuner fake news
Another great informative video!
Thanks for the info.. I was a little confused in regards to using the far-red only for 15 minutes after the lights off and transition to IR for an additional 15 minutes as well. So, Ill be running the Far-Reds for 12 hrs with the main lights.
nice video. i might be trying some supplemental lighting soon.
I've used a IR heater throughout the dark bit of the day. never thought it was beneficial. but looking back it was maybe, I mean I've watched one where it says attached to the fitting, leave it on ten minutes after and before turning the lights on off. but probably more natural on the underside of the leaves. like it irradiates from the earth. maybe the companys have tested it, not read much into it though
lmao, i JUST got mine in the mail today, awesome timing!!!
Used Led pumped to 1200 ppfd! until week seven then swap lx out for super metal halide for remaining 2-3 weeks mmmm
Using deep red during veg is that the full time or intervals like the blue? Like your videos, very informative. Also what could happen if you leave the Blue light on through out the entire time instead of the intervals?
I use UVA/UVB lights from lumatek an there is definitely more tricombes than without.
the light is obviously an FC-E6500, the same test with the FC-6500 EVO would also be very interesting
Hello, i have this 6500 evo with all 3 ad lights in a 4,5 x 4,5 tent. For Autoflowers from seed to harvest, what hanging hight and what PPFD/DLi or hanging height/% of dim would you recommend in each week? Thx
The wires is a mess. Totally unneeded either ..,
If you ever need to part with a light for a 2x4 or 4x4 I wouldn’t be opposed to helping you out.
Life used to be simple.
Glad to meet you, we are a manufacturer of LED plant growth lights, our products are guaranteed, the price is advantageous, we look forward to cooperating with you.
Any thoughts on UVA being basically a fancy blue light? They state things like ,10 mins etc. but 10 mins with UVA is basically nothing from a plants perspective. I think a lot of the timings etc stated with UV are applied to UVB. However UVB LEDs cost a fortune ATM so they aren't being used by companies. The far red etc is proven to help at the right stage but I really think the UVA add ONS are just a waste. Any thoughts @migro?
First 4 wks from wetting seeds no red LEDs without blue ones. Babies stretch way too much with only red nd white.
Do you still offer the uvb fixture. I have one and would like to purchase another. Thanks Mike
Hello thank you very much for all the videos and knowledge. I’ve still got doubts about how to make proper use of the Luxxlighting 200w LED Bars. Luxxlighting made two red bars, an 80R & and 90R. I guess I have two questions; 1) What does the 80% & 90% mean? & Is one Far Red & the other Deep Red? Thank you!
I just bought the Tarantula Tent Ultimate 5x5 - how does this one compare? I know I need UV bars.
Interesting lights. I am considering adding AV light to my tent but i learned before that Migro choose not to use UV leds but only tubes. Can you explain how these compare to Migro's UV lighting?
lumens as well as the big words would help stacks
How HOT do the strips with the built in DRIVER built in get?
I thought I saw Darth Vader on the thumbnail
Please drink some water
We're doing this again? 😅 science be dammed 😊
I am using a 525watt cool white LED with 4 blurple 23watt supplemental light bars in my veg, but two 325 watt cool whites with a 600 watt super HPS hid system in flower... The moles per day allows me to run the system at less than full power for my tent...
Ok correct me if I'm wrong but 700watts and you still need to include IR, FR and UV supplemental lighting as well? For a 4x4 space now you're running high temps and getting close to 1000watts.....
Sounds like a scam when you can go full circle back to a tested and proven 600w DE CMH that has a higher PPFD (1200+) rating and comes with an ACTUAL full spectrum out of the box without the need for supplemental lighting... at a higher efficiency and lower wattage and LOWER COST upfront and ongoing.
factous
cmh ppfd is 1700 yes but most that light is lost in heat,and cmh has horrible footprint ppf is like 800,i use cmh as a supplemental to led
@@nicox500 600w cmh produce more heat than a 1000 led. More importantly there are many cheaper led fixtures at 100w. If u get 4 of them would be under $350 and the ppfd would be equal. The problem is the over priced led fixtures.
@@nicox500 the only thing that's better is the wide spectrum of "blacks" the cmh has that LEDs do not. 250-375nm and 750-900nm
Are important. They work synergistically with other colors to penetrate the leaves deep within the canopy.
@@jteach9124 In the video the total cost of the LED (FC6500) and the supplemental lighting is close to $800USD. Total power usage is nearly 900w at the wall. I'm just saying that with a 600W HPS and a 315W CMH in the vented hood/cooltube setup would cost less overall and get better results. You could also just use a 630w DE CMH in a 4x4 to achieve very similar results minus the red spectrum and save ALOT of money. The technology has caught up to where we were in 2012 again it would seem...
Buy lights for my light seems a bit of a pi$$ take
So as an American the taking the piss phrase should suffice right?
@jm12green31 I'm British. It means taking liberties , bleeding every last silver coin . Most of these guys hardly break even on their electric they use for the yields they get . So sad
Wtf are you on about you numpty 🤣🤣🤣
Yo dawg
I bought them don't use them but I do use the migro uvb tube light even Shane said it his older videos that the leds don't emit much uv.
looks like the FC-E6500 to me. the FC6500 EVO had 3 white leds in each row. am i correct, sir?! 😎
nope FCE's aren't foldable
@@stangcobra592 FCE are foldable
@@lostandwounded I have the FCE 3000,4000, and 4800 none of them are foldable
@@stangcobra592 mars hydro offical website the newest FC-E65000 is foldable
Get reviewing some lights mate
I love mine added to my 2x4 🎉😂😂😂
lol eh shane the blurples are back
I can only warn you about Mars Hydro. at least as far as support in Germany is concerned. If they deliver the right product it's all well and good, but if they don't you have huge problems. You only get generated standard phrases, the support (if any at all) doesn't respond to the problem and if you're unlucky you end up with no product at all. Mars Hydro is making an effort on eBay & co, but that's just empty talk. I have never experienced such poor and incompetent support!
only 660 nm deep red is interesting
why not uv?
@@dingesdingesdinges UV is not photosynthetically active like deep red can be. 660nm is the most absorbable by the plant. Due to the benefits of UV, we want to improve a wide range of these nanometers, not just 365nm. Therefore, it seems like a better option to complement UV with t5 fluorescent tubes.
@@dingesdingesdinges and the simple IR, the emerson effect is already active with the slight infrared of the white LEDs, I do not need more to promote the stretching of the internodes
@@g0yit0 Thanks for your insights. I am new to these addon lights and although they are marketed as super usefull, these lights not added in the 'full spectrum' lamps when you buy them, they somehow need to be add ons. Is this just a marketing trick? Are there lamps with these options already built in?
I might give this a go but have lots to learn.
Fkn noobs man.... so confident yet so misinformed 🤣
I use Supplemental led for ir/farRed 720-730nm ,660nm,400-500nm, uva... uvb I use T5 florescent 🤷 migro, CLW & AgroMax..
I had a started Supplemental when back with HID lights & early LED & COB designs. I figure even with new led tech I still Supplement for better spectrum ratio. If you look it up try to activate ps 1 & ps2 systems plus different spectrums activate different photoreceptors for different stages etc. I try to replicate close to the sun 🌞
Mars hydro used to be a joke now we all using it they gone Proper legit why pay 2000 for light when get same quality lights half the price mars hydro sp range blows everyone away
The wires is a mess. Totally unneeded either ..,
