m2jlv II Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 @KC had vipar spectra,,first one a mate gave me unbranded but to be fair the marshydro is good im not saying LEDs are bad just i used to get better results using hps and found them just easier to grow with overall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superstealth Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 The marshydro II 1600W is yet another reason the company gets a ton of poor reviews, its one of the old style blurple lights again, the advertising is full of confusing figures to make it sound much better than it actually is, if you look at the advert its got a umol of 1100 and can be used over a 4ft by 4ft area but the umols at 1100 are taken 6" away from the light, the light is 20" by 20" so there is no way in hell you are lighting a 4ft x 4ft with a light fittting 20" wide 6" away from the canopy, light draws 640W according to the advert but you would be better off using a 600W HPS over that pile of crap. @Grow lady If any of your LED lights are blurple ones you are better off chucking them in the bin or selling them to some other unsuspecting person who wants to chuck money away, your LED's are using tech years out of date 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
