Mars Hydro TS 1000: A Surprisingly Good Grow Light For The $
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ส.ค. 2024
- Mars Hydro hit me up again to take look at one of their newer grow lights, the Mars Hydro TS 1000. It's a very "bare bones" LED grow light from Mars that comes in around the $120 mark depending where you get it, and for that price you get a shockingly good umol/J.
Overall, it's a buy for a budget grow led grow light for beginners. If you're looking for maximum yield and price is no object, then I would recommend a higher-tier grow light. But if you're getting started, it's a fantastic light.

I’ll tell you what I’ve been growing now for about 2 1/2 years I’ve been through many different phases and stages through growing with tents and different lights and finding my way, but this light changed the way I grew for a beginner no bullshit. I just ordered another one. I’m on my third one user-friendly easy, easy to set up plants love them amazing by $130 get to the light the ballast automatic timer Daisy chain wire and pull straps on top of that you get a thermometer. What a great deal anyone that wants to start growing. this is the light for you.
I just received my 600ts yesterday and my girls are lovin it. I'll eventually upgrade to the 1000 so i appreciate this Review. Thanks for sharing 👍
How was the end result? Did it perform well in flowering?
I'm very impressed with the TS600's, my Ladies loved it. No complaints here 👍👍 Thanks for asking, cheers 👍
I actually got my second TS600 on September 11' Thank you Mars Hydro 💯✌😉✌
@@apeacefulgrowerhow much did you yield?
Is the mars Hydro ts 1000 enough for 6 Cannabis plants?
Mars took over the game this year. Love their SP250 more.
Yeah they are pleasantly surprising me again
@47 E.B.O yes i run the SP 250, over the TS 1000, however sp 250 is 100$ more might be better to get 2 ts1000 or the ts2000
From my personal experience I think it’s a beast of a light for the price I grew as a beginner 6 oz from this single light I just ordered a second
Perky Percocet so far I’ve only done one harvest under one but now I have 2 and just started 12/12 three days ago so I don’t see pistils yet but I’ll keep you posted but to answer your question now yes its great for both veg and flower I’m running it at 18-20 in above canopy now and will raise over time but as for the one I did with the one light they were dense sugary flavorful nugs of joy looked better than dispensary bud after I cured and so on
Perky Percocet it should, my plants grew like crazy under this light
How many plants ina 3x3 could I grow at once using this light you think?
@@joshwilley3173im growing 2
4@@joshwilley3173aim for 20l soil.
1x 20l pot
Or
2x 10l pots
Or 4x 5 litre pots
They run 150 watts by the way everyone you can even test this by a voltage meter. It has a great umol and par put out. Use the right environment with good soil and all organic nutrients and you can get 5oz out of a 3 gal pot on up. Just use coco, powdered perlite, worm castings and Powdered Gaia green 4*4*4 and 2*8*4.
Well a wattage tester that reads wattage output from the wall to the device that's plugged in.
Gaia green is hard to come by anywhere outside canada or the us. I heard its even hard in the usa
no
They do have protection on the diodes, its a glue. All the info is on their website
True you have to be slightly careful handling it... But once it hung up.. That rarely will even be the case.
nice slim light, and no blurple!
I didn't realize how much I hated blurple until I started growing under full spectrum white lights haha
I love the blurple :( but I do prefer what’s most efficient
nspacetime I know I know 😉 but they aren’t very efficient energy wise. I have produced good solid bud under the Mars 2 900, but it’s drawing 450 wt. 😔 ☝️ The Mars Ts2000 is drawing 340 wt
@@epicgardening 100% hate blurple too makes it so much harder identified problems with plants and i fond they grow bigger but Lower quality
We’re looking at grow lights, thanks for this review!
Very welcome!
Fern The Camper check this TS 1000 in action. th-cam.com/video/rcFFrSu8uqs/w-d-xo.html
In my tropical warm house I still use the tried and tested sodium vapor lamps.
Amazing how you can get a massive 4k television for about the same price as many of the top-end grow lights out there. Affordable options always equal great content. Thank you for sharing!
Yeah, wild huh? Like all technology the diminishing returns of performance to cost really become apparent at the top of the market
Psycho Rooks we can’t see the point of dropping a tonne of money on lights like dragon or optic. Especially when a mars hydro light will pay for itself in the first grow. We have a ts 1000 just ROCKING a 3x3. th-cam.com/video/rcFFrSu8uqs/w-d-xo.html
West Coast Croppers innit 😉👍
Mitchell Zimmerman to an extent. As of right now all you get for $10 is a 50watt( if lucky) cfl. That ain’t growing anything worth while on its own.
But I agree, led lights don’t need to be so expensive. Especially when the high end lights are probably made in the same Chinese factory as the cheaper lights. Any light that can pay for itself in the first grow is worth while in our books.
The fancy ass lights with all the gadgets are no good for using multiples in big grows unless you have excess money to burn. No need for all that extra stuff on EACH light. Your just paying for frills. One simple controller in a room will do fine.
@@WestCoastCroppers I love how every time I look at info on the lights, it is full of weed growers lol, that said you guys have really pushed the technology both in lights and hydroponics, so it has been a plus for everyone.
I am impressed by how much you got to grow, I wanted to use it for seed raising for the hydroponics outside, so am glad to see it can grow in a 3ft x 3ft.
With absolutely no experience what so ever, I am wondering if the reflection from the side of the grow room is an advantage in providing light from the sides as well as the top. However I suppose that depends on the reflecting material, as to how much, and which frequency gets reflected. I hear so often about 'grow room plants' being 'leggy', and clustered towards the light source. Nice review. Interesting.
Great review. Does the newest TS1000 direct light out the sides too?
Instantly subbed. Straight to the point, no bull, no time wasted. Thank you sir. What light do you recommend for a 4x4x72" space? Budget would like to invest in at least $300
Maby if ya got two mars hydro ts600 or spend a lil more and get two ts1000 would be perfect 👌

Bought this light because of the review, thanks!
Hope you love it!
Me too! I bought this light to supplement. At this price, why not?
I have the ts2000 😉
@@jthepickle7 and are you happy with it?
Hey guys, I'm thinking in buying the 600w ts version, is a good or a bad idea for 3 plants???
This tent and light set up, realistically, is this for gardening or growing pot?
BOTH!
same thing
Great Review. Gave the info I need
Um, there's a weird video included in the Grow Light playlist that follows this video. H3 - doesn't seem to be related to gardening.
I certainly like mine in a 2x4 footprint with some low watt supplemental lighting on either side. Looking into a lm301B quantum board at the moment......240W seems about perfect for a 3x3 Scrog. Thanks man!!!
Wondering why you wouldn’t just go with two of these in a 2x4
Is the mars Hydro ts 1000 enough for 6 Cannabis plants?
@loveistheanswer5924 in early veg, sure, but not to flower. 6 fully grown plants require much more light to produce. Standard 4x4 tent should have at minimum 480 REAL watts, but with LED ppfd is most important. Check out AC Infinity and thier 4x4 tent bar lights.
@revfunk8823 Thank you. How much cannabis plants can I grow with the mars Hydro ts 1000 ?
Not just in the beginning but also when the plants are bigger?
I don’t understand how to use the dimmer.
After taking the rubber, you said to use a srewdriver but i don’t have a clue to put heat higher or lower .
Thank you
It cost now 220€, still worth it or are there better ones for this price?
Scored one (Non working) at an auction, took 5 minutes to get it figured out and 15 to fix it. 38.00!
What about putting some liquid nail polish on them to protect them.
My Mars Hydro LED light started flickering due to wires in the main wire harness connector burning. The connector was very hot to the touch. After sending a lot of pictures and info to Mar Hydro (Janice), they stopped communicating. I am afraid to use it because I don't want to burn my house down! Where there customer support and warranty?
just growing veggie seedlings....Mars TS1000 vs LEDtonics Z5 and Mars TS600 vs LEDtonic Z2. Don't need anything crazy, just want great value and to get plants started off right. Thoughts?6.
I got this light and a grow tent 2x5 used for 130$ on fb market 🔥🔥
best video I have seen for this ...this is the exact setup i have
Decent light.
The true test is a seed to finish grow. 🙏
Thanks bub!
I wish I had the time and space to do seed to finish grows with all lights! One day..
Well here is a looks at how well it flowers 4 plants in a 3x3. th-cam.com/video/rcFFrSu8uqs/w-d-xo.html
I'm skeptical because it seems like it might be lacking blue spectrum.
Thanks for the info!
nice review i just did one for their newest model of the ts1000 with the all new dimmer control modual
I want to try one for starting tobacco seedlings. How much floor space will it cover? My plants are only
like 6" tall.
Great review, ordered one today so this is definately what I wanted to hear. Thanks!
For a little tend 60x60 cm is the optimum. a very good lamp not so expensive that permit great harvests and i m very happy for bought it
I m curious about morsen Qb w1000. If are really his 600 watt Hps, this one can be a very good quantum board at less price of ts1000
What about the number of the dimmer when in vegetative stage?
I also recently reviewed this light - for slightly less specialist purposes - but I had difficulty changing the output, which is via a screw embedded through a hole in the back. I was wondering if you also tried to adjust this and had the same trouble I had with it? Other than that issue, I'm very happy with it for what I need it for. Glad I found your channel - awesome videos!
Yeah, it would have been nice to have a dial on that instead of needing the screwdriver, I totally agree
Hi, is it enough for 6 plants?
The mars Hydro ts 1000 cost now 220€ is it still worth it or are there better ones for this price?
I mean Cannabis plants. 🙂🌱
How many of these would you recommend in 1.2m x 1.2m x 2m tent I'm looking for max yield ideally I'd like 25 - 27 ounces from 9 plants my 1st time with leds I normally use HPS lights
thats alot of plants in a small tent , a only got that yeild from the bigger 240 x 200 tent basically its twice the size as your tent but youd need twice the lights aswell x2 600w hps , a packed alot of plants in a 1.2 before and it was too cramped once flowering started .. good luck tho
At least 4
Do you think these would be good in a 30 in by 60 in by 80in grow tent what two of them were good and do they Daisy chained together
dude you were so awesome in 13 reasons why
Thank you
I'd love to try this out.
Great review. Thank you sir!

Would I need two of these in a 4x4
Damn, your videos are helping me so much, first timer
Glad you're enjoying
I have 1 ts1000.
It does great for my watermelon plant.
And everybody knows how hungry these plants get
If I daisy chain 2 of these will it work for a 4×4×6 tent?
why surprisingly ? it is, and not cheep by the way, so...
What are your thoughts on the "blurple" mars lights vs the current type mars lights?
Could you possibly rig a side extension to improve on the spillage?
Absolutely I do it with any light I can. But I don't think this particular light is loosing as much side light as he's crying about. Led lights are pretty beamish with the light produced. This light will like many LEDs, light only directly underneath it. And I'd say mars put the reflector about as good as its going to get.
I bought tsw2000 lamps. when it works from 0-35% they make a strange noise. 35% -100% sound disappears what could be the reason?
Great review 👍🏻
Great video. I would love to see ☝️ on this light. Spider Farmer SF-2000 LED Grow Light with Samsung Chips LM301B & Dimmable MeanWell Driver Commercial White Grow Lights for Indoor Plants Full Spectrum for Greenhouse Hydroponic Veg Flower 606pcs LEDs
Yeah I've been wanting to look at light w/ Samsung chips for a while now! Will add this to the list
What is the best height for veg and dimmer setting?
Will this be too big for my tent 2x2x4??
I thought this was s Property Brother.
How many hours is it good for ? Thanks
How hot does it get
If i buy two and hook them together (daisychain) would I only need to plug one light into a Timer to control both? Or do they each have to be hooked to a seperate timer? Thanks,
Daisy chain syncs bro
I've been so curious about this grow light/set up. I have 2 2ft t5 ballasts and 2 4ft t5 ballasts along with a full spectrum led and I'm looking to try out some more really soon. Thanks for sharing!
You're welcome Stacey :)
Just bought the tent and light.
How about going old school and surrendering it with aluminum foil to redirect the light downward.
Any reason why my Ts1000 doesn't have as many of those red lights throughout the lighting? I have the newer version of it, so maybe that's why? Just worried it might be malfunctioning. Any help please !
Infrared is not visible, it produces heat. Don't look at it, it can damage your eyes.
How does it effect the heat within a grow tent? I have an older LED light with fans and gets to around 34C with exhaust. It’s also a Blurple, but need lower temps from light. Thanks. Merry Christmas
Damn 93 mine definitely spike from 75° to anywhere between 79-86°F depending on the situation it’s only because of the light I really don’t know what to do as I can’t run but so many fans I got already enough airflow, I can’t put an air conditioner in my closet it’s just not practical right now at all
Solid review man! Any idea what the recommended distance from light to plants is? Or how intense you should keep light at? I have two of these bad boys in a 4x4 but light seems kind of intense at full power. Thanks!
About 16” above canopy with the 1000
I keep mine 1 foot from the plants and they do great
Good for microgreens? How many 10x20 trays could this light work on?
The answer is obviously in the video. Watch it again.
Gonna be purchasing this light. Gonna run it 4x2x6. Should do well.
How did the light go?
every little thing ... GONNA be alright !
Install the light meter app and point it under it at various distances to measure lux per distance and depending on direction, the front of any smartphone next to front camera has a light sensor that can detect lux amount, over here pointing it at the sun gives 60k lux for example thru a window, btw is your ficus a spider mite magnet to i heard they are magnets to spider mites love them, explains why i always see webs on mine.
I will be getting a professional light meter for future reviews as well - and no the ficus is fine on spider mites!
@@epicgardening You mean resistant to mites right as not getting sick from mites ? anyway tommorow predatory mites arive although i am worried they gonna be dead on arival since my mailbox is nearly outside in the cold and its a mailbox delivery getting more predatory mites later, saw a black red spotted lady bug come out today small one, altho i hear they eat everything they also eat plants including other predatory insects.
Escanor try white oil on those mites
@@mikelance7175 never heard of white oil, just neem oil anyway can't use it when I release predatory mites
@@epicgardening I finally found out that place my ficus came from they release predatory mites if its the kind that eat pollen then i am very lucky, all i would have to do once i get real spider mites and they escalate is take away all the pollen and flowers so predatory mites get hungry and start eating the threats then get new flowers so they don't start eating each other again 🤔, they use blowers on top of plants to blow the predatory mites on top of the plants.
Is it safe to use straight from the wall? I'm UK so 230 volts??? Or do u need the driver? Only reply if u know wat ur talking about!
I know what I'm talking about but first you need to read a bit more about the issue and understand how this light works. When you know what you're reading about, then I'll explain it to you.
Great review 👊👍🤟
Thanks boss
that looks like the exact light that the miracle grow uses.
totally new to grow rooms but... These lights were on a flash sale at amazon so i bought two and a gorilla 4x4 shorty on a whim... Can you give me an honest assessment if this is a good light setup or should i get something else around $300? Be prepared for more questions as I just subscribed. Also I got the AC Infinity CLOUDLINE T6 for venting so comments on that would be great too. Thanks in advance!
One TS 1000 is perfect for 2x2 so two in 4x4 is also perfect. Goodluck
@@John.420 how close do you put the light to the seedlings?
That light is fake, these replicas are all over Ebay for less $......Mars TS has the Mars Hydro Logo written on the inside of the LED, plus an adhesive sticker on the frame panel..

Wow, 7 cuttings nice!
Hi, great video! Can you recommend a maximum yield LED on the high end.? TIA
Get one of Mars Hydro’s newest FC models.
Don’t buy, the light doesn’t turn all the way off and when I contacted them, they told me to rewire a power strip . Lol crazy they would even suggest that. Go with a different brand.
Did you test the light? Did you grow anything under it?
his nuts ...
Includes a paid promotion or is a paid promotion?
Would 2x Of this LED be good for 3x4 growbox? Or better use SP250 and add two small 42W Secred Jardin Bloom panels for flowering??
1 could work well depending on placement
Tsl2000
Do you think this light is a better than the Ledtonic z5? Im concerned about the low actual watts of the z5 vs the price point.
Did you see my video on LEDTonic about how wattage isn't the best measure?
@@epicgardening I missed that one. I'll check it out. Thanks.
Ok, then justify the 1.3 umol/j for the price. I Bought this based on this video, and I'm kinda dissatisfied.
this is a popular grow light. its pretty cheap too. i got 3 of these.
Nice pickup!
Does it get hot
You think spider fatrmer 1000 would be better option ?
I can't say, I have yet to review that one
but on there internet page they say this :"designed to replace a single-ended 1000watt HPS" and not 250w like you say . idk im just asking
Lots of companies, even good ones, over inflate their claims
Is a equivalent of 250 watt hps
is that light too hot? l want to biy it but l am afraid of temperature. Pleas answer
Nope!
I have one in a super small tent 48"x20"x20" and it raises the temperature about 8 degrees above room temperature. The cable included is very long so I just removed the driver and put it outside of the tent. So far so good.
If you have decent airflow that should take care of any heat issues no problem. It's always worth having a backup small portable electric heater just incase your tent gets cooled too much or during the winter you aren't able to get the tent up to temperature
1.3 what?
I’m a hot pepper grower ,
The light and tent would Work for me ??
Yup!
Cant say enough good stuff about this light
Company sold a used product and attempted to not take it back. Covered in dirt, overspray, chips, and in general I was shocked as it looked 10 years old. I would avoid this company all together
I’m thinking of getting the ts 600 to start seeds (and maybe for growing stuff during the winter) how far away do you recommend this light being so I don’t burn my seedlings?
Perhaps around ~24"
I have my two TS1000's 24 inches above my seedlings and they work incredibly well.

He said of course that it was way too narrow for the plants but he said it worked. I asked him if this lamp would be enough for six plants and he said yes. He said this lamp is enough for 6 cannabis plants at 90cm x 90cm.
