Recieved the Mars TS 1000 yesterday afternoon. Had to wait for this morning to unbox and setup under the cover of darkness…and everyone sleeps in till 7…so I get a solid 3 hours of ‘alone’ time with my girls.
Anyway, box came unmarked besides the Fed Ex shipping label…nice and stealth!!


.
Well packaged…everything was solid in the box. The shipping box had a ding in it, probably tossed around at the FedEx distribution centre. But everything inside was safe.

The driver seems to have a dimmer, but it’s plugged, so no dimmer.

.
The picture doesn’t do it justice…this thing is ridiculously bright…looked at it directly for a second trying to take a pic and had tracers for a few minutes…almost tripped into the cats litter box.

.
Super simple setup with ratchet straps and my single eye-hook.

.
I noticed right away that it has more white light rather than the yellowish from my 3500k veros. I’ve heard that using higher k (5k rather than 3k) will reduce node spacing and make buds more compact…truth?

.
Light is hung 16 inches from top of canopy. 12-18 inches is recommended as per marshydro.

.
The size is perfect for my 2’ x 3’ space!!! Also, because the light is panel-like, it hits more of the vegetation, rather than just 2 cobs which throw shadows all over because of leaves. The TS1000 can hit places the veros couldn’t.

.
Thanks much MARS HYDRO!!! I’ll be using this to flower out my purple diesel’s. tonight is flower day 1
Correction…today will be flower day 1…lights out at 7.30 this morning.

Overall, seems to be a great product!! The results will speak for themselves.
Thanks to everyone who participated and voted!!!
Extra big thank you to @Zoey!!!
