Good or bad?

[Greenlivin]

Calling all veterans, what are your thoughts:

I have a 2x2x4 tent with 4 plants, all over a month old. I’m using my Mars Hydro TS600 (100 actual watts), and decided to put in my blurple LED that’s 600w (135 actual watts). I know the Mars offers enough coverage, but figured adding the extra light can’t hurt. Is it a bad idea to have both of them in there together? Too much light?

Looks fine just watch the plants. Maybe a tad high wattage but the lights are crap.

The lights are crap? lol Mars Hydro makes a solid light.

Greenlivin...if they make such good lights how come none of them have passed state/provincial safety testing? I haven't seen a Mars Hydro that is safety certified other than "CE" which doesn't meet government safety standards and most "CE" certifications are faked anyway....

I wouldn't worry about too much light. The combination of the two should suffice but sheesh...when do you plan on replanting the one in the Solo cup? I'm surprised it's not dead yet from being root bound! Get that one in to a 3 gallon or bigger pot quick!!!

The lights are fine - although your solo cup is shaded - and your plants are going to fill your space, very quickly .

The solo is part of the solo cup contest on here. Surprised it’s made it this far. Actually looks great. Just started flowering.

dilvish I cant answer that question since I dont work for them. But if they were junk I don’t think commercial operations would use them.
