This tiny little light,is the best light!!!! I can't get the growth from this,from any other light. This thing gets incredible growth!!!! I want to buy a couple more and just veg with 3 or 4 of these lights. I had 8 plants under just one of these and my girls,were ready to flip ijn about 4 weeks. They were around 4' tall in just 4 weeks!!!!! They were cuttings to start. I've terminated seeds and got almost the same growth from seed grown. For around $150,this light has so much bang for your buck!!!!! And my energy bill hasn't fluctuated at all. I'm amazed,honestly.
I agree with bitterman...no way! I've been growing for over 30yrs...and have NEVER ever seen 4ft plants in 4wks...even with 1000 watt hps with co2...You're full of it.
Overall I like this light a lot. Hopefully it marks the end of Blurple fan boxes :) Negatives are the flimsy reflector or heatsink, no protection on the LEDs and driver mounted on the back. Positives are good efficiency, full spectrum white light, passive cooling and very good value for money.
Hey man this video says it's 2 years old. Has there been any improvements with any other budget lights best used for horticulture LED light for like a 4x4
Hello! I started watching you a few months ago and I must say I've learned so much just by listening to your channel..thank you for all the outstanding information!! Seriously, God bless
Your business integrity is wonderful even tho you have your own product you still review and give credit Most people solely focus on their products alone
Well I’m a 66 year old grandmother with a few dozen greens and lettuce plants in some downspouts & some plastic bins Kratky style that is realizing with winter coming on in a few weeks I’m going to have to move it all into the garage & figure out what lights to get. After watching the video & reading a few dozen comments I think I’m going to have to take a course in the new language y’all all speak also before I can figure out which lights I should get. I guess I need a hydroponic lighting for dummies video. On to the search bar.
I bought the ts3000 with a 5x5 grow tent, it's bright af. According to the docs, it has a 5x5 vegetation coverage, and 4x4 for Bloom. It puts off some heat, though I'm running both an exhaust fan and floor fans, which keeps a pretty level temperature. This was a major upgrade for me from a 600 HPS and I love it.
This guy does a GREAT job on reviews and I have learned so much from him about grow lights. Thanks for all you guys do at Migro and this TS-1000 review was fantastic. I own one and I'm happy with the results and the price I paid for the TS1000. I will pair it was a 100 watt cree cob light in a 2' x 4' tent and it should produce pretty well.
This light is hella strong in terms of effect on the plant. I had one of these at 80% about 24” from my plants and it was burning them like they were 6” from an HPS light.
@@dailygrow6961 I had it over wedding cake, a sherbet cross and I think an afgani cross. At about 24" away at 70% power it was cooking my plants. Had to turn it way down then eventually remove it from the tent. Plants were about 12-18" tall
Something that mars has been lacking in recently with these type of extra High Efficiency LED’s is the red spectrum. Red photons are about about 15% more efficient in comparison to blue when causing photosynthesis as well as it seems to be lacking far red or IR which has shown recently to be extremely important in the process of photosynthetic creation of NADPH in photosynthetic system 1. Photosystem 2 step creates ATP cannot use these IR but when in tandem with photosystem 1 the classic Mcree curve no longer neglects 700-800nm on the spectrum. Utah state has some amazing videos.
I would highly recommend this light. Everything seems to grow perfect under it. I use it on 25% power and it is still very bright and just warm to the touch.
Hi, are they good for bloom? I'm looking to get one and on the mars website it sais it's 4x4 for veg and 3x3 for bloom (sorry that's the tws2000.)but I don't understand why, i thought you might have some insight
@@ricado372 That sounds about right, you might even get away with using it at 75% power for veg. I currently use the TS1000 in a 2x2 on 25% intensity and it lights up the canopy very brightly and evenly. The leaves usually develop a dark green colour and the plants do not stretch very much even when I hang the light high. I hope I could help :) Happy growing!
@@ricado372 That is because typically you would hang your lights lower during flower to increase light intensity, but that tends to cover a smaller area. Although if you have good reflective walls and a full canopy it won't matter too much as this panel light shines a lot of it's light to the sides.
I did an unboxing test on this as well, I like the performance just not the look or how hot it runs. It could use some extra metal to help displace the heat IMO but the performance is quite good in a 2x2 space. Using it in my veg tent it worked quite well to veg a 2x4 tent but it was a little bright in the middle because it fires down more than out. I was able to run it pretty high. Great light for a 2x2-2x3 space.
Spider Farmers SP1000 hits 2.7 or 2.8 um/j I forget which one but it's insane. There's a video of this guy who did a test grow on lettuce and it grew like a weed lol pun intended
I have a 4x3 box - had three Mars300 blurples. It was okay - but when I saw the TS1000, I bought one to try - liked it and bought a second. Then I ordered two more to open a second box. They're good value - paid $180 Canadian per. They are not very hot at all and throw a lot of light. For my configuration, they're perfect.
I never ever rated this light, I instantly wrote it off! but Depending on what you're looking for... when it comes to price and efficacy and even spread around the edges, this light is pretty damn good! I have never seen a reading round the edges as close to the reading in the centre, and that's exactly what I want.
@@JhonnnyTheMan 75cm by 75cm is the best tent for that light I think, in the 60 by 60 it was good but in the 90 by 90 it wasn't enough, which made me think I wish Shane did the test a third time lol but that's just me being a perfectionist I suppose lol ✌️❤️💯🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I just ordered this light. I'm putting in my 5×10 tent with 2 1200w aglex and a 2000w Phlizon. Can't wait to see how everything turns out... keep grinding brother. Awesome video
This is definitely a step in the right direction from the noisy boxes or the flimsy "driverless" lamps! I wonder if you could lower it by an inch or two so the center ppfd value is around 1000. The spread seems even enough that there wouldn't be any hotspots and you'd get better results out of it
For the money this is best cheap Amazon light you can get power wise. But don’t expect big yields. Far far underpowered. But a one plant closet grow it’s the best bet
inexperience growers might put this light down but we are in 2021 and the TS1000 is still KICKING BUTT and taking names! Ive seen all kinds of newer lights not being able to compete with this 2019 model's par and performance.
I've had mine for about 3 years almost, I keep in about 16 in veg and even closer and flour at full strength never had a problem... Get yourself a fan and exhaust if you got heat problems and you're good to go I don't know why people are messing with the dimmer switch so much honestly..
Surprised at the figures, but the facts don't lie. Switched over from my HPS to LED samsung quantum boards, best thing I ever did. Well done with the reviews Shane, came across you on Instagram. Keep doing your thing 🙏
I bought the Mars Hydro TS600 on Amazon just to try out with a few other Amazon lights . And let me tell you " this little ts600 has done a above average job flowering the photo period I placed under it.
I've ran all different brands and types of LEDs and have sold them all after I got my ceramic metal halide fixtures. But if I had to have an LED light migro would be a good choice or hlg or Spectrum King. My man my migro he's always honest in his videos even if that means saying something is just as good or better than his product
@@stoneageaquaponics9142 for the price range, and group of lights similar. I would recommend them. They are a high output light. Mars specs i believe are inflated like everyone's. I been trying to get a tester of fc or sp series. I am going to be doing a weekly grow update on a spider farmer sp 1000 tester very soon. Also unit farmer uf 2000 tester. Feel free to subscribe and follow along. I appreciate the support 🤜🤛
I really like my mars hydro lights they kick ass. I don’t care what people say about them. The lights are good. Haven’t had to deal with their customer service tho. It I hear it sucks. They sponsored me an sp 150 and I also own a ts 1000. As far as dealing with the company as a sponsor, They have been great. Cheers!
You know, this is not a proper recommendation if you are sponsored. And they send the best models to sponsors as well, they make sure it's brand new and working perfectly. If you are paid to speak well of a company, i would take it with a big grain of salt.
I'm glad ya said they're excellent because I bought one not long before I watched this lol....I did watch about 5 other good reviews and talk to a few people using them who said they're getting excellent results with them before I bought one though :-)
This is one of those vids!!! Cant get all that much in South Africa, but this was one of the options. After watching this vid, I bought it and did a good 86 gs of Big Bud - Start to harvest = 3 months. Thank You !!!!
I used to have all these low end lights until I came across migro yes there a little bit on the pricey side but you get what you pay for and I haven't had one issue with mine actually I like it better than anything I've had so far I think Shane keep up the good work I'm going to be order another one possibly tonight or tomorrow. I also like it because the driver you can put outside the tent when it's warm out and when it's cold out if it's a little cold in your house you can put the driver inside the tent win-win situation
I'm certain I should be getting licensing fees for my cookie pan light. F-strips and a 240w driver on a 1/2 sheet baking pan-simple, very efficient and also less than $1/watt. Great report!
@Latisha Queen It's well made and does what it says on the tin. Great bright light, dimmer dial staring you in the face, easy enough to hang and no screwdriver needed for assembly.
Don't try to get this light too close to your weed. I have 2 autoflowers under it, was wondering why health was suffering so much and was my first time using this light. During veg phase keep the light around 28" from the canopy at 50-60% on the dimmer. It may be led but health and growth improved drastically after raising the light and lowering the power.
The shock that people are getting from the Mars lights kind of sounds like it's DC voltage not AC, so it may not be a grounding issue afterall, and something else. Typically with AC power you will get a continuous shock, because the power is oscillating back and forth at 60 cycles per second, so you feel a sort of buzz type shock, whereas with DC, you usually only feel one big shock once the circuit is broken, more like a quick static shock.
Very clever design to save a buck but with the amount of reflection going on there I could say with confidence that the ppfd would drop by 30% in a dark room with no reflective surfaces. One thing we should all consider when trying to imitate the sun is that the sun dances naked amongst the stars. To imitate the sun you would need to imitate light penetration. Reflectors/Abundance of reflection in your test area will only prove that the light requires all of that infrastructure to hit a high reading. Good vid tho as this was an eye opener.
i got two of these. One is working,but other one has some major issues. Biggest one is that the driver leaks current to the reflector and hangers, so i got couple of electric shocks. Wouldnt recommend to anybody.And they get way hotter that expected
other issues are. There is a little hole in the ledboard,right next to a led.The plate wich has the driver and trimmer has a dent and its bends upwards ,so its uneven. So when i hang the led, its hanging uneven ,because the plate is bending in one corner. It makes one hanger mount to be higher.
The spider farmer SF-1000 has the highest micro mols, m/jols or something like that (or what ever the hell It's called) output per actual watt. There was a test done I forget the guys name it's on you-tube he does actual grows and shows the end result growing lettuce. Edit: AldoPepper is his TH-cam site he's brilliant at explaining grow lights and he shows actual live comparison grows.
There's something that is never mentioned about LED lights that needs to be addressed. The par is always measured at a particular distance from the light, that distance seems to represent the tops of your plants, or canopy. This measurement seems to be good or comparable to HID lighting when comparing watt per ppfd or whatever. Here's the problem. There is more to the plant than just the canopy. Even small plant grows have a canopy "depth" of at least a foot and most grows will end up have a productive depth of 18/24 inches. If you measure the light at that distance HID comes out ahead almost every time with cmh being the leader I believe. Basically it's like this, you can get great results with led , but the light seems to "dissipate" quicker cause lower flower production to be less than most HID lights. I have used and set up several grow ops for people using various kinds of lights (how, cmh, led, even plasma and induction) to, different brands and it tends to hold true. One or 2 lights in a tent may be best for LED, or maybe large scale in a warehouse also , I don't know. But and average 10x10 grow room running between 2000 and 4000 watts? LED s fall short every time. Also, spoiler alert.. they make almost as much heat per watt as anything else but it's harder to control
Great video. I debated on getting the 2000 model bit went with phlizon 3000w cree cobs instead. More power for the price😁 I lime seeing you compare all of the lights specs to makers specs. Also glad to see mars stepping up their game👍🏻👍🏻
Hi big fella. Long time watcher, 1st comment ever. You're looking healthier all of a sudden. Must be those UV lights 😂 Stay strong matey 💪 Good work 👍🍻
The burple light I currently am using will be my last. It "works" in the sense that you can fill a 3x3 with plants, but no matter what I do these plants are stretched like crazy; there simply isn't enough blue light to prevent it. I'm aiming for the TSW 2000 once I can set aside the money. It's $260 right now (3/4/20), which is only $50 more than my burple. The unscientific reviews by growers are all very postive, and this MIGRO review seems to corroborate them.
so I purchased this light. I'm not sure if it's nutrient related or perhaps the light may be too close. my current height is 20 inches from top of leaves. they are yellowing and Browning a bit
You can get light stress from having them too close... Especially when you first move them from a different kind of light. For sure move it further away until the plant adjusts and then lower gradually.
Quick question: One Spider Farmer SF4000 or two SF2000 daisy chained? I’m erring towards the latter because of better light distribution despite the setup being pricier. More likely to have an improved 5’ x 5’ footprint than one SF4000. SF4000 kills it in a 4’ x 4’, in a larger tent...not so much.
Awesome information on the new MarsHydro Ts 1000... I will be holding a Giveaway for the MarsHydro Ts 1000 for a Christmas giveaway that Mars asked if I would do. I will share this video link for others to check out your information on the Ts 1000
Aluminium Foil Has Hardly any Reflective value it is best to use Mylar You get 95% reflection With mylar Or even white black white But I'm afraid Aluminium foil only gives you say 15% reflection.
I wonder if they loose lumens after short time and/or die like the last epistar chips... Had a previous model mars hydro and reconverted it to 6 cree CBX3950 at low 0.8Amp. Well worth the change! Go expensive or do it yourself!! I need to get my hands in one of those Samsung LM301.
Well i tryed this light because of the good ratings and videos that said its a decent light. So i ordered and it seemed fine the first day´s except for a screw that didn´t fit bc the drillhole was crooked.. well i thought lets give it a chance anyway. A few day´s later i discovered that the first 2 red diodes didn´t work. Haha a few day´s! and also generates massive heat! since it anyways makes a cheap impression overall and isn´t well processed overall i send it back. And got a Sanlight s2w. So for me i definitly don´t recomment this light. Just a advice go buy some proper brands that cost a lot instead of cheap trash like who buy´s cheap is gonna buy 2 time´s anyway.
I hear ya man! Mine came damaged so I fixed it and had nothing but problems with the dimmer. Asked for help from Mars hydro and they don't give a shit...
Hey mate. I'm a subscriber and love watching your videos, always quality and informative 👍 I saw this video and was wondering if you can compare this Mars hydro 1000w to the spider farmer sf2000w please? I was considering getting 2xsf1000 or 1xsf2000 but, then watched this review and wondered out of the two, which was the better light and would give more yield? Thanks in advance ✌
When you compare difference wattages, more watts will pretty much always win. Efficient lights will save you in bills but take a long time to pay for themselves and they're not outright beating anything with a real watt advantage, 50% more watts is pretty bit so of course the 2XTS-1000s win.
@@ronnieburton9593 Or larger, I can fit 2 TS1000 in a 2x4.. I'd look into the Mars SP 3000 which incorporates the Samsung LM301B diodes or go with something larger for a 4x4 area.
I live in NC, I have PWC electricity... My bill is already 160-180 in the summer. This would put an easy 5-7x on that.... and sound off alarm bells to them jump out boys.....
I got my sponsor ts 1000 last week from the lovely staff at mars. I have put it over a plant next to one under a 600w hps and the plant under the mars as grown loads more than one under hps so they do work and very well. The light colour is nice and natural all together a very good light. I shall be replacing all my hps with these deffo. Great vids dude
I've never seen better growth,honestly. I've used it all. Fluorescents,HID's(double ended and single ended). This thing is the best!!! Doesn't hurt my energy bill,either.
@@NorthernGrowsUk What you are claiming is pretty ridiculous. This light can't even outperform a 315w CMH in veg, let alone a 600w HPS in flower. Lying to people because you got a free light is reprehensible. I hope your integrity was worth it.
U will burn the shit out of your tent with this power :) I have TS1000 in 75x75cm and it's pretty enough for 4 auto flower, 2 mid sized photoperiod sativa or 1 big plant with scrog. I am thinking about to switching to 4x2 tent or getting 60x60 for TS1000 and buying TSW2000 for my 2.5x2.5 tent, I expect will have to dim it to avoid burning

For the money this is best cheap Amazon light you can get power wise. But don’t expect big yields. Far far underpowered. But a one plant closet grow it’s the best bet
inexperience growers might put this light down but we are in 2021 and the TS1000 is still KICKING BUTT and taking names! Ive seen all kinds of newer lights not being able to compete with this 2019 model's par and performance.
I've had mine for about 3 years almost, I keep in about 16 in veg and even closer and flour at full strength never had a problem... Get yourself a fan and exhaust if you got heat problems and you're good to go I don't know why people are messing with the dimmer switch so much honestly..
Surprised at the figures, but the facts don't lie. Switched over from my HPS to LED samsung quantum boards, best thing I ever did. Well done with the reviews Shane, came across you on Instagram. Keep doing your thing 🙏
The Mars ts 1000. Is good for my chillies.
I bought the Mars Hydro TS600 on Amazon just to try out with a few other Amazon lights . And let me tell you " this little ts600 has done a above average job flowering the photo period I placed under it.
In my tropical warm house I still have the tried and tested sodium vapor lamps.
I've ran all different brands and types of LEDs and have sold them all after I got my ceramic metal halide fixtures. But if I had to have an LED light migro would be a good choice or hlg or Spectrum King. My man my migro he's always honest in his videos even if that means saying something is just as good or better than his product
Hi mate which brand and model ceramic metal halides would you recommend?
I been growing with mars lights since I started my channel.
Would you recommend them?
@@stoneageaquaponics9142 for the price range, and group of lights similar. I would recommend them. They are a high output light. Mars specs i believe are inflated like everyone's. I been trying to get a tester of fc or sp series. I am going to be doing a weekly grow update on a spider farmer sp 1000 tester very soon. Also unit farmer uf 2000 tester. Feel free to subscribe and follow along. I appreciate the support 🤜🤛
Thanks for illustrating the ppfd per watt calculation over different areas. Really helped me understand your earlier reply on a previous video.
Now do the 2000! For real though, love the content. I’ve learned so much from your vids. Keep em coming!
PATSFAN420 was a joke since most requests are like this. Reason I wrote “for real though” right after.
I really like my mars hydro lights they kick ass. I don’t care what people say about them. The lights are good. Haven’t had to deal with their customer service tho. It I hear it sucks. They sponsored me an sp 150 and I also own a ts 1000. As far as dealing with the company as a sponsor, They have been great. Cheers!
You know, this is not a proper recommendation if you are sponsored. And they send the best models to sponsors as well, they make sure it's brand new and working perfectly. If you are paid to speak well of a company, i would take it with a big grain of salt.
I'm glad ya said they're excellent because I bought one not long before I watched this lol....I did watch about 5 other good reviews and talk to a few people using them who said they're getting excellent results with them before I bought one though :-)
The dimmer is scaled to 4 sections 25 50 75 100 percent, I wish they included table for recommended hanging height accordingly
+1 I've been looking all over and can't seem to find one
Chris Hamill: No kidding. Been looking everywhere with no luck.
This is one of those vids!!! Cant get all that much in South Africa, but this was one of the options. After watching this vid, I bought it and did a good 86 gs of Big Bud - Start to harvest = 3 months.
Thank You !!!!
Always value your reviews mate.
Cheers, this one was a real surprise.
I used to have all these low end lights until I came across migro yes there a little bit on the pricey side but you get what you pay for and I haven't had one issue with mine actually I like it better than anything I've had so far I think Shane keep up the good work I'm going to be order another one possibly tonight or tomorrow. I also like it because the driver you can put outside the tent when it's warm out and when it's cold out if it's a little cold in your house you can put the driver inside the tent win-win situation
I'm certain I should be getting licensing fees for my cookie pan light. F-strips and a 240w driver on a 1/2 sheet baking pan-simple, very efficient and also less than $1/watt. Great report!
Your light surely outperforms this build :)
Thanks Shane, have ordered this as first grow light.
@Latisha Queen It's well made and does what it says on the tin. Great bright light, dimmer dial staring you in the face, easy enough to hang and no screwdriver needed for assembly.
Don't try to get this light too close to your weed. I have 2 autoflowers under it, was wondering why health was suffering so much and was my first time using this light. During veg phase keep the light around 28" from the canopy at 50-60% on the dimmer. It may be led but health and growth improved drastically after raising the light and lowering the power.
The shock that people are getting from the Mars lights kind of sounds
like it's DC voltage not AC, so it may not be a grounding issue
afterall, and something else. Typically with AC power you will get a
continuous shock, because the power is oscillating back and forth at 60
cycles per second, so you feel a sort of buzz type shock, whereas with
DC, you usually only feel one big shock once the circuit is broken, more
like a quick static shock.
Solid as always, keep up the great work mate. Cheers!
THANK YOU!! Good to know there are affordable options that produce results 💯💪
lol i remember when you made this video, wow have the lights changed since this.
I really enjoy your videos! Thanks for sharing and keep them coming! Happy growing everyone!!!
It would be interesting to compare the 2000 and the 3000 to see which one is more effective for the buck.
It's a potent light , I fried a couple seedlings with mine , at 18" and had to raise it , the 600 is killer too !
Hey, at what height did you raise it later? And what was your height in late flower? DId you use the dimmable knob, and what power did you use?
thanks for the review with 1 of this and a QB 120 in a 3x3 it s a beautifull work
Thank you for this information! I'm currently in the market for lighr structure, and this video help me narrow my choice.
Great light. Have 2 of them. My plants love it☀️
Post some videos on your channel ✌🏼✌🏾
Helkamaniac ! I have 3 loovveeee them !
@bill2526 bill2526 upload a video I'd love to see.
Jordy Kingston Grows just posted a video. Check it out👍
what size tent for 2? 4X2?
Very clever design to save a buck but with the amount of reflection going on there I could say with confidence that the ppfd would drop by 30% in a dark room with no reflective surfaces. One thing we should all consider when trying to imitate the sun is that the sun dances naked amongst the stars. To imitate the sun you would need to imitate light penetration. Reflectors/Abundance of reflection in your test area will only prove that the light requires all of that infrastructure to hit a high reading. Good vid tho as this was an eye opener.
i got two of these. One is working,but other one has some major issues. Biggest one is that the driver leaks current to the reflector and hangers, so i got couple of electric shocks. Wouldnt recommend to anybody.And they get way hotter that expected
other issues are. There is a little hole in the ledboard,right next to a led.The plate wich has the driver and trimmer has a dent and its bends upwards ,so its uneven. So when i hang the led, its hanging uneven ,because the plate is bending in one corner. It makes one hanger mount to be higher.
Nice review man. I just got my ts1000 a few days ago and my plants seem to like it.
CityBoy Hippie , any update ? How do you feel about it now ?
The ballast is removeable now and has a pretty long power cord. The ballast does get pretty warm when compared to others.
Great review Migro! Appreciate it my good sir.
A classic case of not to judge a book by it's cover
Viparspectra is the same sort of Lights called the L 1000 puts out 150 w larger cover radius because it has that kind of a reflector
We have these and the TSL/W models in stock, in the UK now...
how much?
@@daleholt9327 which model...
TS1000 £118.99... Cheaper than anywhere else!
124 now are they?
Great review. Very accurate testing. Highly appreciated. Did you ever do PAR testing at 12" with this light?
Any chance of a VS review of the Mars hydro ts 1000 & the spider farmer sf 1000?
soon yup!
The spider farmer SF-1000 has the highest micro mols, m/jols or something like that (or what ever the hell It's called) output per actual watt. There was a test done I forget the guys name it's on you-tube he does actual grows and shows the end result growing lettuce.
Edit: AldoPepper is his TH-cam site he's brilliant at explaining grow lights and he shows actual live comparison grows.
And there's a site who's selling the SP-1000 for $79.99 pipipri.com
@@steveallen984 missed that! Just ordered one from China for 150

There's something that is never mentioned about LED lights that needs to be addressed. The par is always measured at a particular distance from the light, that distance seems to represent the tops of your plants, or canopy. This measurement seems to be good or comparable to HID lighting when comparing watt per ppfd or whatever. Here's the problem. There is more to the plant than just the canopy. Even small plant grows have a canopy "depth" of at least a foot and most grows will end up have a productive depth of 18/24 inches.
If you measure the light at that distance HID comes out ahead almost every time with cmh being the leader I believe. Basically it's like this, you can get great results with led , but the light seems to "dissipate" quicker cause lower flower production to be less than most HID lights.
I have used and set up several grow ops for people using various kinds of lights (how, cmh, led, even plasma and induction) to, different brands and it tends to hold true. One or 2 lights in a tent may be best for LED, or maybe large scale in a warehouse also , I don't know. But and average 10x10 grow room running between 2000 and 4000 watts? LED s fall short every time. Also, spoiler alert.. they make almost as much heat per watt as anything else but it's harder to control
Great video. I debated on getting the 2000 model bit went with phlizon 3000w cree cobs instead. More power for the price😁
I lime seeing you compare all of the lights specs to makers specs.
Also glad to see mars stepping up their game👍🏻👍🏻
Hi big fella.
Long time watcher, 1st comment ever.
You're looking healthier all of a sudden. Must be those UV lights 😂
Stay strong matey 💪
Good work 👍🍻
hello new to all this you tube enjoyed your review my question on mars ts 10000 is it lacking in the red spectrum for flowering thank you brian
Meilleures lampe rapport qualité prix !! Incontestablement....
Thanks for the review!
The burple light I currently am using will be my last. It "works" in the sense that you can fill a 3x3 with plants, but no matter what I do these plants are stretched like crazy; there simply isn't enough blue light to prevent it. I'm aiming for the TSW 2000 once I can set aside the money. It's $260 right now (3/4/20), which is only $50 more than my burple. The unscientific reviews by growers are all very postive, and this MIGRO review seems to corroborate them.
so I purchased this light. I'm not sure if it's nutrient related or perhaps the light may be too close. my current height is 20 inches from top of leaves. they are yellowing and Browning a bit
You can get light stress from having them too close... Especially when you first move them from a different kind of light. For sure move it further away until the plant adjusts and then lower gradually.
This light works good
Quick question:
One Spider Farmer SF4000 or two SF2000 daisy chained? I’m erring towards the latter because of better light distribution despite the setup being pricier. More likely to have an improved 5’ x 5’ footprint than one SF4000. SF4000 kills it in a 4’ x 4’, in a larger tent...not so much.
Awesome information on the new MarsHydro Ts 1000... I will be holding a Giveaway for the MarsHydro Ts 1000 for a Christmas giveaway that Mars asked if I would do. I will share this video link for others to check out your information on the Ts 1000
some guys on amzn say that those dimmable viparspectra-like panels (they all look the same) are even better than this one.
And they dont look so cheap
i think when you tape aluminium foil on the inner reflector it will give it a little push
Aluminium Foil Has Hardly any Reflective value it is best to use Mylar You get 95% reflection With mylar Or even white black white But I'm afraid Aluminium foil only gives you say 15% reflection.
@@ghettochild389 idk if some average person has mylar at home, but pretty sure the average person has aluminium foil at home and could try my method
@@faithfulsheep23 yep they could give your method a try and there would be nothing wrong with that at all 🌬💨🧖♂️

Had a previous model mars hydro and reconverted it to 6 cree CBX3950 at low 0.8Amp. Well worth the change!
Go expensive or do it yourself!!
I need to get my hands in one of those Samsung LM301.
I just bought this light fantastic value for the money cant wait to see how many Grams per watt I get
Keep us updated my friend...
Would be most interested to know how it does.
U sound like a new grower.
@Dankenstein Corsentino
"..lets see how many gpw.."
...man...
How's the light treating you?
Tin snips to cut the corners vertically and bend out the remaining "flaps" to eliminate that undesirable spread.
Why should I open it out?
Well i tryed this light because of the good ratings and videos that said its a decent light. So i ordered and it seemed fine the first day´s except for a screw that didn´t fit bc the drillhole was crooked.. well i thought lets give it a chance anyway. A few day´s later i discovered that the first 2 red diodes didn´t work. Haha a few day´s! and also generates massive heat! since it anyways makes a cheap impression overall and isn´t well processed overall i send it back. And got a Sanlight s2w. So for me i definitly don´t recomment this light. Just a advice go buy some proper brands that cost a lot instead of cheap trash like who buy´s cheap is gonna buy 2 time´s anyway.
I hear ya man! Mine came damaged so I fixed it and had nothing but problems with the dimmer. Asked for help from Mars hydro and they don't give a shit...
Yeah screw them go for sanlight or try spiderfarmer its pretty similar to mars hydro but seems overall better. Good luck :)
Love your transparency!
Hey mate. I'm a subscriber and love watching your videos, always quality and informative 👍 I saw this video and was wondering if you can compare this Mars hydro 1000w to the spider farmer sf2000w please? I was considering getting 2xsf1000 or 1xsf2000 but, then watched this review and wondered out of the two, which was the better light and would give more yield? Thanks in advance ✌
When you compare difference wattages, more watts will pretty much always win. Efficient lights will save you in bills but take a long time to pay for themselves and they're not outright beating anything with a real watt advantage, 50% more watts is pretty bit so of course the 2XTS-1000s win.
great video just wondering if taking the ballast off the top off the light would help the long jeopardy of the light
Great video some quality information I love it. Thanks 4 sharing
I love this light
Will it work for a 4x4 grow tent . From start to finish, I'm a new grower who just bought a vivosun 4x4 tent for 50 bucks and I need lights.
@@ronnieburton9593 4x4 I'd go with the TS2000
@@ronnieburton9593 Or larger, I can fit 2 TS1000 in a 2x4.. I'd look into the Mars SP 3000 which incorporates the Samsung LM301B diodes or go with something larger for a 4x4 area.

I got my sponsor ts 1000 last week from the lovely staff at mars. I have put it over a plant next to one under a 600w hps and the plant under the mars as grown loads more than one under hps so they do work and very well. The light colour is nice and natural all together a very good light. I shall be replacing all my hps with these deffo. Great vids dude
I've never seen better growth,honestly. I've used it all. Fluorescents,HID's(double ended and single ended). This thing is the best!!! Doesn't hurt my energy bill,either.
Did you just say that this light is outperforming a 600w HPS?
@@Des420 Yes bud in terms of resin production dense buds and colour hands down its killing the hps. I'm deffo swapping all my lights to the ts 1000
Check my latest video of the buds its producing. All golf ball nugs solid and covered in trichs
@@NorthernGrowsUk What you are claiming is pretty ridiculous. This light can't even outperform a 315w CMH in veg, let alone a 600w HPS in flower. Lying to people because you got a free light is reprehensible. I hope your integrity was worth it.
I'd have like to have seen more about the dimmer function.
Works as advertised I have 2 of these lights now no issues running for about 11 months now.
@andrew bradsheezy nope
I know Shane has probably moved on now but I wonder what the ts3000 in a 90 by 90 would look like on the ppfd map thing
U will burn the shit out of your tent with this power :) I have TS1000 in 75x75cm and it's pretty enough for 4 auto flower, 2 mid sized photoperiod sativa or 1 big plant with scrog. I am thinking about to switching to 4x2 tent or getting 60x60 for TS1000 and buying TSW2000 for my 2.5x2.5 tent, I expect will have to dim it to avoid burning
