- Nice PAR results! Finally getting around to doing some PAR testing of the Mars Hydro TSL 2000 indoor grow light with the Apogee MQ 500 PAR meter. The PAR numbers look good so far and I'm really liking this indoor grow light. This light gets a little hot but nothing a fan won't take care of.

I use it for two plants in my 2x4 grow tent. It does a great job. I'd buy it again.
Awesome! Thanks for the feedback.
All the way through flower?
I got rid of my tent and used drop sheets in a 6x6 space this light does the job. I add a 42” aquarium UV tube light while budding.
I have 3 of these lights absolutely crushing it in a 4x8 tent. I got a par meter and spaced them like many of the 3 bar lights on the market. I could use a 4th light I guess, but you definitely dont need it to get big colas throughout.
Sounds awesome! Definitely a nice light. Thanks for the info, I've been curious what they'd do in a 4x8.
That’s amazing idea Mike,things we do for plants 👍😀😂🤣here in Melbourne Australia we’re half way through winter.I’ll wait a while to plant my tomatoes. I have lots of house plants.aroids and that,my whole house specially the kitchen is like a jungle 🤣😀😂can’t wait for spring. Thanks for all your tips 👍god bless your family and keep safe ❤️
Thanks, Jovita, you stay safe too!
Great vid Mike, can't wait to see your results of actually growing some plants under the LED's. Make sure to try some lettuce please.
Lettuce actually needs very little light to grow. Too much light is bad for em.
@@Sweezy42069 I’m not sure where people keep getting this info? Ever heard the term “field grown”? Lettuce will take full sun and strong artificial light of a proper spectrum
looks like your going to have some fun!
Hope so!
Thank you once again great video.
You're welcome, thanks for watching.
Good to see you my friend! Hugs from hot and humid Atlanta! No AC for since Friday in the worst heat yet. UGH....Didn't sleep for 3 nights...not a happy camper....and it's going to be a lot of money.....it is what it is! North Pole sounds appealing right now....lol
I don't do as well in the heat either. Time to move?
I would like to, will see how things are going. Chris was going to see if can move and leave the other guy in charge of the south but the guy quit.... God can change things around. Will see, I keep you posted! Hugs
Hey Mike! I have the same lights. Would you able to measure the PAR at 50% dimned (or 125 W according to my watt meter) at 8" canopy height ? I don't have the Apogee device yet.
Lol i knew it !! Love you brother!! Stay lifted
Hahaha
Hi Mike, well this light is magnificent really & it's just like you said (it's a beauty) & really cool, i thank MARSHYDRO™ for sending you this beautiful light as a gift and i hope they send you the other light that you talked about, and if it's possible i just want to know what you're growing under this amazing light (if you want of course) and that's it wish you well you & your family & all the plants & the chickens & lastly the beautiful shy fishys 😊😊, bye for now.
I plan to grow some peppers under it.
Hi Mike. Just wondering if you were to test the light with a closed tent. Would the numbers be higher if the closed tent reflected light on all sides? And if so, how the difference would effect the plants. Cheers.
Yes, it would definitely make a difference in a closed tent and the plants will get more light.
Thanks for your review.
My pleasure!
I had to Google PAR... 30 years ago the only way PAR related to lighting was as a type of theatre lighting and/or the bulbs they use ie. the bulbs used in driveway motion sensor light fixtures are PAR35...
Excellent video!
They have a nice range of sizes on eBay. I wish they could get their wattage down so it wasn't so hot though.
Thanks, Karen, I feel the same way. They do get a little hot. There newest light should be much better and I'm curious to see how they do.
You can relocate the drivers outside the tent to keep temps down
@@booferstankalmeida7652 was thinking same thing
30" my friend is the sweet spot
I'll keep that in mind for future videos
Hey how’s it going braddah 🤙🏽… I wanted to ask what dim % you got yours @ 30inch above. I was doing great with the dim between 50 & 75 for about a week but now there showing minor light/ heat stress. Do you think 50% at 30’ is cool. Any feedback will be appreciated 🙏🏽 enjoy your day buddie 🤙🏽
@@mykelmedeiros1528 yes sir the one i got did not come with the dimmer i got it the week before they started doing the dimmers... but let me fill ya in...about dimmers.... the only time you need a dimmer is in seedling... all the other time full blast...30" is perfect for flower let them grow right into the light never any closer than 18".
@@drivin69 thanks braddah. Wouldn’t hurt to try as I can always make adjustments… I appreciate your feedback 🙏🏽🤙🏽
@@mykelmedeiros1528 ya i hear ya but for real the dimmer is not nessisary unless seedling stage or two close two the light sir...other than that sounds like you got it...yes sir way two grow brotha
This video is not a par it's a birdie way to go Mike
hahaha, you've got skills Mark
@@MikeKincaid79 I'm not one for just putting around
Would you find , if it was possible to measure , would your readings be different / higher with the tent door closed thereby reflecting the light back in ?
Yes, the door will increase the numbers slightly when closed.
Hello, i have one question that may sound stupid but it's really worrying me, hopefully somebody can help me.
Did you look at the light directly without dark glasses? Did you notice any discomfort?
I just got this light and turned it on to see if all the diodes work. It was extremely bright on maximum, so i put on sunglasses (cheap 5€ summer sunglasses from a supermarket, no IR/UV protection or any of that)
But with sunglasses it became even worse, after only few seconds of looking at the light, i felt stinging and slight burning in my eyes, and now i have a slight headache and a weird feeling in my eyes. Honestly it's scaring me, i don't know if the IR could damage my eyes in only few seconds. Could it be just a temporary discomfort from too much brightness or something serious?
First of all, DON'T LOOK AT THE LIGHTS, lol. Second, if you're physically injured, you should see a doctor not a TH-camr. Good luck.
I have three or 4 foot tall cactuses. I have to bring them in for the winter. Do you think this would work well with those?
Yes, absolutely
Thank you so much Mike.. I've been going crazy for someone to do a par test on the this light.. now, at what percent was the light on? Right now. I'm at 50% right now for veg.. thank you from southern cali..
No problem. The light was on 100% when I filmed this.
@@MikeKincaid79 thank you
Beginner here, but i have this light. I did 36" @ 50% light for the seedlings. Thinking this was around 200par. As they are get closer to that explosive veg I been turning up the dial a bit every 5 days or so and keeping the same light distance of 36" until they grow into it. Which I expect to be flowering at that time and wanting those high pars. That's the game plan as of now.
good job!Mike!
Thanks, Jamie!
Where you get the ppfd/par meter?
Do I coming early? 😊 Hello Mike hope you and family doing well and stay safe. Preparing for winter project?
Yep, sure am. Also working on lots of summer projects.
FYI you have measured wrong, you should have measured the height from the end of the fixtures canopy and not at the LED's
I can't help but wonder if just mylar would reflect more light.... Just thinking out loud, kinda.
At some point, I'm going to do a test about this. I actually think white would do a better job.
@@MikeKincaid79 That would be an interesting test.
If I would buy this one 2x in 5x5 tent would that work?
Yes, but the edges of the tent might drop off a little in PAR
my friend,i think that you have to pull out the blue nylon under the drivers.
I'll look, thanks
Just heard mars hydro has a sp6500 650watt bar light coming soon.
They've been asking me to do more reviews but I've been turning them down. Don't want to turn this into a review channel.
I was in the Attic that was a hundred fifty so far this year so that's not too bad 😁 lol
Sounds horrible. You Texans are built for heat.
@@MikeKincaid79 I think I was battling heat exhaustion for about a week after that attic lol
@@theoverworkedgardener5648 lol
So how hight should I hang it for seedlings
Seedlings are much more versatile in how much light they get. Since they start as seeds, you can pretty much give the surface of the soil as much or little intensity as you want. As the seedlings emerge they will acclimate from day 1. So it's not as critical as if you were to move some rooted cuttings under the light or move a plant under it that is acclimated to different lighting.
Why some red lights on your Mars hydro dimmer than others?
They are the infrareds. there are only a few of them added.
I'm split between this or two ts600s in a 2x4 tent.
I haven't tried the ts600 but it sure looks like 2 of those would be cheaper than one of these. I haven't compared them though so I can't give too much advice in that regard. If you're growing lower light plants then go with the 2 smaller lights for flexibility.
@Sean Lock I ended up going with 3 ts600s in a 2x4, and they work well.
@Troll Hunter it destroys a 300 watt hps or medal halide by alot. It also has a much much much more even spread of light
Hey Guys. Would it do good work in a 200x100x60 cm tent or is it Overkill?
Cm since im from Europe. Thanks in advance.
It won't fit in a tent that size. It's about 120cm long.
@@MikeKincaid79 oh thx for the advice, any suggestions what Lamp i could use for that tent in about the same price range?
in 10 minutes its as hot as it gets a 1000 watt hid single ended takes up to 30 minutes to warm up. watt for watt it runs about 25% cooler than hid lighting
I've had HID lighting for a reef aquarium in the past and those things get waaayyyyyy hotter. I had 2 250 watt bulbs and they were so hot that they raised the temp in my living room, lol. These LED lights are more than 25% cooler, I can guarantee you that.
That’s not true at all lmao
Your tripping. Have the same light. Barely feel the heat.
I wonder if extension cord length plays a part here. Also, during the test, his light is at max. I agree that my TSL2000 doesn't seem too hot to touch but I'm running at 75% currently
Was this done with 100%
Yes
What size tent is this?
2x4
Very nice video! I support you.😉🔔🔔
Thanks, Maicim!
U will have to do a "How much do these lights cost to run to grow TOMATOES 👁️ start to finish"
LOL
Under a dollar a watt..
I'll tell you that sp3000 you're getting is going to blow that tent up it's going to crush whatever you're growing in that tent 👍👍✌
So I'm actually working on something even better right now and I sure hope it all comes through. If it does, I will be 50 times more excited than I am about these lights. If everything works out, there will be videos to follow.
@@MikeKincaid79 what make and model of lights were you referring to?
you still liking your tsl 2000 light?
Yes, it's a great light and performs well. I'm getting more into the Viparspectra lights though. I think they are a superior build quality.
Google "Mars Hydro Electric Shock" and you will not be touching them again.
Wow, I hadn't heard of this. Thanks for the info. That's crazy. I've never been shocked by them but maybe there was a bad run of them.
Great light ...I just wish you did the par test right..
It was my first run but I'm trying to improve on how I show it to you. I was more detail oriented in this video: th-cam.com/video/ehYC6Lmhwhg/w-d-xo.html
Apogee par meters 😩
?
Your par should be a little higher of you measure it with the door shut. Your loosing the half the reflectivity with the door open.
