The knob for adjusting the light power is just the best, a dimmer switch I guess. At 1/2 power it puts out what my last light did… so really looking forward to this next run with it.
Light: Mars Hydro TSW-2000
Strain: Blue Angel (Hells Angels OG x Blueberry Indica)… by Goat&Monkey Seeds
Soil: Foxfarm made Bushmaster’s Coco Loco
Foods: Mills and assorted Roots Organics
Pots: 2gal felt pots, tall…
I started the seeds like I always do, soak in water 24hrs… give a stir, should sink… take seeds, place into damp paper towel, into baggie, into oven mit…
Prep soil a few days early and begin watering… plant germinated seeds with at least 2" tails… water in and place in tent under raised light put at 30" at half strength.
So far, one baby has popped up and is trying to shuck it’s shell… so off we go.
Hey man, best of luck with your grow. I still use a TS 1000, a similar design, in my 2x2 grow kit they gave me and it works great. It’s only 150w so half the power of your 300w TSW 2000 but still performed well for me.
Have a TSW 2000 here in a 3x3, and gotta say pics don’t show it to be as sturdy as it is. Looks flimsy in pics, especially the hood, but holding it in hand, its a solid unit and doesn’t flex. The dimmer is nice, and mine came with enough wire between the ballasts and the light that I could put my ballasts outside the tent (something none of my other lights can do without some heavy re-wiring).
All in all, no complaints with it, and I think you’ll really like the light…
Good luck with the grow, and lookin forward to your thoughts on the light…
I use a 1000 for my veg tent and a 3000 for the flower tent. Absolutely love them and recommend Mars Hydro to everyone that asks me about lights. My buddy uses 2 of the 2000 in his closet and has been growing some amazing buds.
Thanks bro… I realized real quick how powerful it is and bleached my plants a wee bit… doh. so tonight I made some adjustments and using 2 sets of yoyo hangers and eliminated the extension wires that came with the light… gave me a good foot and what a diff… things should improve very soon, light set at 75%…
