Cool, I'm going to run with their ts3000, a bigger one, in my new 5x5 tent
All it needs is a few UV diodes in the mix and she will be a beauty. Also, moving that power cable to the top of the fixture would also be good, as when its on the side, it pushes into the side of the 2x2. And I think the '1000w' of power is relating to what is supposed to replace compared to a HPS maybe? Lots of companies do that. But its good to see an LED that isn't just focused on the center of the tent to get good PAR numbers.
UV diodes are usually the 1st to fail causing other LEDs to soon follow suit . Grab a Agromax pure UV T5 2 foot fixture. 3 hours a day last 3 weeks of flower. Or get a UV lamp from the pet store. They dont need much UV. But UV is super beneficial as cannabis coats it blossoms with resinous THC cannabinoids to protect itself from UV radiation.
I have two of the 1000s ,yes they run hot but when you grow up north it’s good .... throws off enough heat to keep plants at 70 And with a fan for the plants with a cpl vents open its perfect.
i think the "1000Watts" marking indicates the equivalent when growing with HPS lamps, and not that itself draws 1000W.
cdh79 yup and he then states it would not replace a 1000 watt HPS / MH. Which i give him kudos because that means he actually is going of Ppfd and PAR figurea
Exactly
Pretty sure it draws about 149watts and it clips at 160 161 if you pop the cap off and turn it up
I have two of these in a 5x5 space and it works so well that its easy to bleach the leaves.
By the intensity it replaces 250 hps
Itz good to see LED companies bringing out dual purpose lightz. After you finish your grow and want a break...maybe make some medicated cookies and use this as a baking tray.. :P
Hell you could bake cookies right on top of it maybe.
"You don't want anything resting on here" unless.... Lol
Lol
.
Lol ur crakup
You gained my respect when you said 1000w is interesting due to it definitely not replacing a 1000 watt bulb or drawing 1000 watts. I am looking forward to watching more videos. I have gone through Mars Hydro and Relassy. My Relassy burnt out numerous times and my Mars Hydro is still going strong from a few years of daily use. Nice quality for the price...due to the burning out of diodes I was focusing my attention to high end fixtures but it's hard to justify spending that much for just a hobby.
😊
Thanks, yeah it's pretty normal for chinese companies to do things like that. I'm not sure why they feel the need to. It's fooling less and less people now lol.
These cheap led lights are getting pretty good hey, I got a cheap Durolux recently just to put over some males and I was really impressed with the quality and readings I got from my light meter,
Yea some of the cheap ones are getting better for sure!
@@Justintime2grow the Durolux was hot as fuck to, but a small fan pushing air across reflector totally got rid of all heat
Hey man quick question. What heights would you run this light from seed to harvest? Just getting into this field and ordered the light. Gonna be growing 1 or 2 plants rn already started with sunlight untill the led light comes the plant is about 3 inches tall so far. Thanks hope to hear back. Great review.
Best review that I've seen so far. Job well done. Maybe do a grow from seed to harvest under that light. :)
I'm probably going to pick one of these up for my 32"x32" tent. I have a small grow light already that i can throw in there to supplement during flower if this one doesnt provide enough coverage but I think this might work pretty well.
Great video my man I just got sent one that I'm using on my current grow series. So far she is kicking ass in veg. Time will tell in flower especially with the blue leaning spectrum
I run 1 of these and a 300w ViperSpectra in my 4x4 and they do great and I got a huge brawd light spectrum.. I think I'm going to invest in 1 more Of these TS1000
I had to sell mine because it was just too hot for the small space I was trying to make use of. I’m absolutely pleased with the Spider Farmer lights and they are great for using in a modular setup for larger spaces. I also just got a Carambola quantum board that is very similar to the SF1000 but without the Samsung lm301b diodes or the meanwell driver but surprisingly it’s just as bright and half the cost. It’s also designed to be connected to multiple units to make any custom size necessary for your space. I was late to get on the led train but I have to admit with a little bit of adapting to them I can’t see myself ever going back to HPS or CMH even though I have had many years of great success with the old tech. I really think the led technology has become advanced enough to out perform HID’s and at a more reasonable price point now.
I would love to have one of the smaller lights you speak of parting with, I can only start my plants inside and maybe veg for a few weeks depending on strain indoors as of now, then its outside they go.. having to put the seedlings in window seals etc for now, a light would just absolutely make my day..
They are the giveaway lights. Enter the giveaway.
Love that pun.
@@Justintime2grow where do I enter?
Let us see some results of what it really can do over a plant???🤔
You're a god damn legend for doing these.
For a 2 x 2 grow tent what would be better the SP150 or ts1000?
Just sold my Viperspectra 600 a great veg light, not that BLURPLE colour u normally get with older MARS...i think T5 is to expensive so i might buy a TSW 2000...Using PL 55w great Lumens but par is lower than LED and there cold, normally use the HID/HPS combined for the heat
Nice and informative video!
Do you believe it will be also efficient in Hydro Mars's tent 2.5'x2.5 (70cmx70cm×160)?
Yes 2.5 x 2.5 is fine, but 2x2 will be better
I currently run 10 Mars Hydro 240s. Super happy with them and their ability to produce. Just went to get some more and realized they updated the lights they have. I guess purple isn't in any more.... I was wondering if the 1" size difference in the 600 to the 1000 really adds that much more? I want to purchase 4 more lights. I manage around 10 sqft of canopy. Thanks!
I’m really eager to see what mine does in flower..most any light can veg..but not all can flower..we will see..✌🏽❤️💚🤙🏽
Yea make some updates for sure. I'm using this for veg and it's doing great!
Angus Lee how’d it come out man?
540 Boyz it did decent bro..I actually like it..I gonna get 2 more..the blue dream auto that was under it produced 51/2 oz dry 3gal pots and floraseries nutes
This model is awesome bc it has Far Red over 700 nanometers which causes plants to panic and grow more laterally. Used with white leds, can cause 30% increase in yields
It could do with some micro fans around the edges.
12v micro fans are cheap, about 1 euro/dollar
Having a fan on a fanless LED unit is always a good idea. Lower heat will always raise the life of your equipment.
Looks as if there moving in with newer led technology like hlg. Better then that dam old 300 watt model they been making 1,000,000,000 of now. That saying you would still need 4 of this model for a 4×4. That would get you the 600 watts you need for a 4×4. I'm actually probably going to get one to test. Thanks justin you the man. I also just got done finally building one of my 4 rapid cree cob builds,to add some reds,I took apart my over powerful growant 900 and used 4 of the lensed modules on the for corners. I plan on replacing them with something better when I find something. Trying to get away from the old 3/5 watt diodes. Technology changes fast. 👍
Yea 4 of them in a 4x4 and 600 watts is pretty good actually. I wish I could get this much light coverage from a 600w HPS.
Let’s see how the first grow comes out... then I may get 2
@pisswobble i would say this light covers 2x2 optimally so for that space you'd need 4 of them
@pisswobble I run 2 of these in a 4x8 and it works great
Creative, thoughtful, very articulate review; liked and subscribed. I look forward to more videos young man!
Bill S. Thanks 👍🏼
You forgot to mention you can take the driver off and mount it so the light stays cooler also helps to cool your tent
i like mars' products they work well for the price -my biggest issue with mars is their failure to write the correct data on the info stickers and so on seems messy and as if they just throw some numbers out there some times.
Yes it is annoying I agree.
why no heatsink? you need to run a fan on it as the leds will burn out in a year
The whole unit is the heatsink basically. And yea time will tell.
@Mike Hegarty Just a small fan pointed at it would be fine lol.
Compare this light with mars reflector light, which light you prefer? Will you use the light for your plants growing? Want to check the result of the light.
This one hands down. I like it better all around.
Wow there really come a long way.👍
I remember when they first came out. Cool man
The test is flowering, nearly any light can veg.
450-700 is flower levels of lighting.
Man, smds work, mars hit it out the park here
Price depending tho,lol
@@FXPips11 I suppose, I prefer DIY for my money though. I'm a cheapskate
$129, not bad deal
1000W is what they "state" it is equivalent too. Of course the LED industry can claim all he false facts they want because there is no standard. Unfortunately, I don't see that changing any time soon. What I can say is that Mars tends to charge for marginal performance. Good video though and good feedback. After watching this video, it pretty much summed up my questions. I wont be investing in the TS1000 based on the info you put out. Thanks for the solid info!
The only issue I have with it is the lack of a fatty heat sink so it gets pretty hot. The output is great and the spectrum should be great for veg to bloom. It's checked all the boxes for me on a cheap grow light. I'm using it right now to veg a 4x2 and it's working great. I actually had to raise it up a bit because it was a little too bright in the middle. We'll see how the reliability is in the long run. I have another fanless unit and it also gets really hot and I've been using it for over 3 years.
This or the sp 250 for seed to harvest?
David Nguyen 250
1000W I think the 1000 (2000 , 3000) is the generation or series of this light and the W is for a wide or more square light, reflector. There is also a L model which is a longer more rectangular version..... I think.
This par test is comical. Great job bro
Please tell me what models sp150 and ts 1000, please advise me which model should i buy? Thank you.
Depends on your grow space.
Justintime2grow
For a 2x2 which is better SP150orTS 1000
What is the actual watts used? I'm thinking about getting 2 of these for a 8x8x8 room.
And the comparison against the 2 lights . The driver shouldn't get hot , that's how they fail . You pointed out the best feature of the ts1000 the aluminum does it's job .
Drivers get hot, they all do.
Just ordered the Ts 1000 going in a 90,90,180, tent
Had plants that were under a cheap 250 LED thought they were going to die!NOT there loveing the mars ts 1000 w LED got it in a 90,90,180 tent this my first time keeping nutrients simple only useing seeweed liquid + organic for spraying been told get better harvest ? goin use better nutrients next time only 3 seeds came up down to the cheep 250 LED had a time .the TS 1000 great LED white light great price
Hey Justin. Got mine today. Damn this light ist bright. Wow. But one question. You mentioned you would hang this light about 12 inches. This looks very close in my tent and the temps rising ober 30°. so i hang it up to 17 inch. Whats ur opinion? Close enough? Greetings.
Thanks for this video, this is exactly what I was looking for! ^^
You mention the light is dimmable. Can I ask if the light was set to run at full capacity when you received it from the manufacturer or did you have to turn it up to full power yourself? Did you get those readings straight out of the box or did you alter the dimmer. I’d rather not start sticking screwdrivers in the top if I don’t need to. Thanks in advance 🙏🏻
🤦♂️the wood wasn’t for support it was to keep people from stabbing the light when they cut open the box.
Hey buddy they took your advice and added another rope ratchet. I’m doing a review for them as well.
I'll have to check it out I need a good budget light for a 3×3
Nice!
As you already have a par-meter and a watt meter it would be AWESOME if you could do about 9 measurments (I recon it is a 3x3) to compute average par reading. Then we could compute the par per watt and compare it with the sp250 light of mars (which gets to 1.8 ppfd/watt)
I know it is a bit of work but you tested so much and stopped just shy of computing average :)
Frank Krumnow that’s because I really don’t care about a computing average. They offer that info from the factory. You don’t need that to know this light is good, you can see the readings it’s putting out in real world application. Nobody needs to compute anything to read a par meter. I make videos for normal people.
Do you think 2 of these in a 3X4 would produce some big buds? Im really digging this light so far
Finally getting this grow light!!!! Can't wait as it has been a long time coming!!!
Would you ge this or the spider farm sf1000 for a 3×3 ? It would be the only light for the grow.
The TS-1000 would cover the space better but still not enough for a 3x3 properly. You could have some serious stretching issues. Neither light is made for a 3x3 really.
For $140 that's actually not bad, just have to have a fan cooling them.
Yea most "fanless" units do better with a fan on them lol.
@@CM-pq5el that heat and no fans pointing at it, it'll reduce the life of your light
I noticed for a review they through in a moisture meter and a chart .i received just last week same light didn't receive extra
Hey new to indoor growing and purchased this light for a 3x3. I see u said 14.5 is the sweet spot for flowering stage but how high would u hang in veg
I thought 800-900 par would be optimal? Would 12 inches work
I might think about ordering maybe 2 of these for a 2x2 tent. heh. Altho I do like my 400 watt hps in there... 600 watt hps for my 3x3.
2 of them wouldn't really fit lol. 400w hps in a 2x2 sounds like an easy bake oven not a grow space lol.
@@Justintime2grow 🤣🤣🤣
Woww this qb is great, only one question wich height is perfect for the lamp with seedling. And is IT good to dim the light at first
Last question i just got this light in for my 2x4 . What does the output cord do? Is that to hook it up to a dimmer or something? i plugged it back into itself and the light came on . So i was just wondering why its set up like that? Almost acts like a dimmer or switch should be there? It weirds me out. Plus im just wondering if it came with all the parts ? And that little white plug wnear where the output is you can take that out to dim it? Lol i was scared to. All in all its bright af and looks great! Just will have to buy or rig up some light hooks. The light hardware they sent is too long lol. Ill end up rigging one thats like half its size.
Would you use this for flowering also? My BESTVA Reflector Series (I own several of it) are excellent for veg but there pretty bad for flowering, I have to use HID instead.
Patricio Fink yes I would. Flowering requires higher lighting levels which is why yours worked fine for veg but not flower. Need more intensity. Here I’m measuring for flowering and veg intensity and it passes for both.
How man plants would you grow in a 2x2 with this light?
this is a good light, but damn it's still $140 =/ , so after doing my own research , i bought the GROWant G5 HiPAR Seires | OSRAM Full Spectrum with UV & IR it's 135 + 5W
light was $70,00, off i always wanted it so i bought that one takes a long time to ship though like 4 or 5 weeks, but i hope i get it sooner, i would really appreciate it man if you tested that light, or the better one they make, it be cool because you have the best par test meter.
Can i use this with a mars hydro 240 together on vegetative stage ?
Is it good enough for flower stage of 2 plants bro ?
Yup
@@mr.ganja42O what about 3 autos ?
@@jsein09 would work just fine since autos never get big
@@mr.ganja42O ok cool thanks
More light, more weight,
N I C E.
I have on in a 120,120,200 tent did the job going get the ts 2000 next think that with the ts 1000 be plenty of light you recommend anything else fore the price send me the link
I didn’t see any marking saying that it’s a Mars Hydro ts1000. Not that I don’t believe what you’re saying, it just helps people identify with the product. Great Show though 👊🏽
For a 2x2 wouldn’t make sense to have the driver hanging outside the tent to keep the temperature down?
is better lamp the "Mars Hydro TS100"? Or is better the lamp "Spider Farmer SF100"? Thanks.
im buying one of these to add to the closet grow should be a good vs between fluorescent and led great review man deff grabbing the ts 1000 work my way up peace gromie subbed
Is this one sufficient for an 8x8 grow tent? or will I need 2 or is there a better Mars light for this use? I am using hydro.
I don’t know much about lighting. So I hope you see this :) I have a 4x5 area with four plants. I just want some decent buds for personal use. I have the Ts1000 and the TS600. Any suggestions ? I was thinking I need another ts1000. Idk
Nice video and review. Honest. Mars just sent me 2 of the SP 250. They are awesome! I know you have one. Which one is brighter or are they about the same? I like the 1000 from what you have shown me.
Goliath Grower thanks. The sp250 spaces things out perfectly but 2 of the 1000s would be more photons on the plant than one 250.
@@Justintime2grow THANKS!
I ordered it today. Replace my Mars Eco 300 Watt. Curious how it works.
Scrooge McDuck The light is outstanding(check my channel) I run both and I’m pleased 👍
I'd like to see you do a review of the new viparspectra quantum board. It's got a real dimmer easily accessible. Water resistant coating and dust resistant coating. Got a real heat sink that are fins and kinda reminds me of the electric sky heat sink design.
hello, the minimum distance that can be kept between the lamp and the LED?
in the vegetative phase
Also looks like that light would be best to flower for a 2by2 tent. Posibly veg a 3by3 tent.also i would like to say.it would be a great micro grow light. Maybe with a light mover as well if you wa ted to do a 2 foot wide room that is like 7 feet long. Like a closet grow. And with a 142 watts. Not bad
Naw, that small of a tent you're better off with a PerfectSun Mini. Hell, all size tents: go PerfectSun LED. Has done live comparisons of competitive lights, his kick all other's asses in everything other than low prices.
Is this light enough for flowering at 30 inch ?
@9:50, they did this on 2020 model with two ropes. Looks like they may have been watching..
Of course it’s gonna be hot! There is no heat sink on it at all!!! Just reflector that’s it of course that’s gonna get hot as hell. There is nothing to take the heat at all. My 550s half a good 1/4 inch thick aluminum heatsink on it. Mars would need get a heat sink on that ASAP b4 I’d ever use one! But that impressed the hell out of me as well! Mars stepping up their game a bit huh??
Yea they could use a larger heat sink but even by cree/meanwell kit without a fan runs super hot. As does my rapid LED kit. Any fanless kit is going to feel hot. Yea they seem to be stepping up their game.
I’d say my hlg 550 gets warm to the touch. But u can leave your hand on it without burning yourself. My buddy just got this same light to veg out a 3x3 and I can’t believe how hot it is. U can’t rest your hand on it very long at all without it being extremely uncomfortable. But other then the heat this light is very nice for a budget light! Mars stepping up their game big time. I was even thinking about getting one for veg. But think I’m going to DIY come quantum boards instead.
Randykushman420 yeah man you’re not kidding it runs hot lol. I’m sure the hlg has a a lot thicker heatsink. That’s why I warned people in the video about letting things rest on it.
@@Justintime2grow leds will lose efficacy much faster the hotter they burn.....
@@FinehomesofNewHampshire But they're also made to run at these temps so that is kind of a moot point.
Which is better the TS 1000, or the Spider Farmer 1000?
I have a rapid 100W logic plug and play led grow light ,its dimmable, can I veg with it, they say the light spectrum is more for flowering, med card just trying to grow my own, like the cob lights need to go from seedling to flower, how would you veg with it, if possible, help
Will 2 of these cover a 4x4 for flowering?
more then enough. one can do 3x3
No
@@kingtiptip8400 have you tried ?
@@jasrich101 haven't tried with that exact light but have with similar lights. You will need about 4 of those light to flower a 4 x 4 with those par number 🤣😂🤣😂. Those Par numbers are too low at a close range. Look into HLG led
@@jasrich101 4 of those lights will be equivalent to a 600w hps
Is it normal to have my Ts 1000 to get some what really hot?
So what would this be equivalent to in hps watts?
is that a good light ??
Can you put a link to the light meter your using.
APOGEE par meter
Hey do you have any leds you might not use that you wanna sell ?
hey, first good review thanks for that :) second: does it get really hot without heat sinks?
2000 better
It's just a quantum board. Not a bad thing a def step up. This light will grow weed
I'd call it half-quantum board. It's more than likely not bring the same efficiency as samsung lm561c/301b.
Nice lil budget light
That's what I think too.
HPS 250w or MARSHYDRO TS 1000w ? what is better ?
This or cannagrow 100w cob ?
Did you get the wattage and par tester on amazon too?
They are available on my amazon store. link in description.
I also loke rhe light. But looks like the corners are savage lol
Well they expect that adults will be using this I guess.
I ordered same light. Nice video ty
Just got mine. Didn't get the shirts yet.
I told them I didn't need a shirt because I'm not on camera lol.
Hi Good one what do you think for veg height thanks. Jeff
What type of puck is that up to the left?? I'm trying to space age my 4x4 ..with lots of reflection, hehe , but ive really done some chickenhawking the gmau5 pucks with uv and 660 here and there..but just really wanting new gear ..personally if it's not Samsung over cree I want look twice ..but the smd diodes are coming on around
That was an old cree xte prototype light for a company I used to work for.
Kinda strange when migro did a par test in his video it was 700 par hung at 18 inches in a 2x2. This video showed 535?
He gives them a little more help with side reflection in his testing box.
Justintime2grow gotcha thanks
Hows the heat with this light? I here its pretty hot
It's just as hot as any fanless light really. Check my comparison video I did last week.
Mine runs super hot in a 2x2 is it possible to dim the light and lower it closer to the canopy to keep the Par in an acceptable range or will the intensity not be enough if dimmed
If you can’t cool this low of wattage your ventilation is inadequate. This should not at all be hard to cool. Sounds like you’re tying to use a pc fan or something.
And that's 14 inches over plants correct?
Why would you pull on the power cord???
